I'm watching TV today and also because it's St. Paddy's day, Celtic Thunder and Celtic Women are huge groups (though in the grand scheme of things, a lot of people still haven't heard of these fantastic groups) and have never had any of their songs played on radio! They do tour (I'm hoping to go see Celtic Thunder this fall!) but most of their promotion comes through PBS... Just a thought about how much radio really has nowadays.
Another artist that has success despite not being played on mainstream radio. Yes he's played on adult contemporary but not as many people listen to it. That artist is Josh Groban... A lot of his big success early was by word of mouth and the internet.
So it makes me wonder how much influence does radio really have and if Billboard shouldn't change their "radio plays" list.
