Have you ever dreamed of hearing your music play on the radio, reaching thousands of listeners across the airwaves? You’re not alone. Getting your music played on the radio can be a game-changer for any aspiring artist or band. But how to get your music played on the radio?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this blog post, we’ll explore effective strategies and proven techniques to help you navigate the complex world of radio promotion and increase your chances of getting your music played. From crafting the perfect pitch to building relationships with radio stations, we’ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Radio airplay refers to having music played on the radio and is sometimes known as “radio plays” or simply “spins.” In the “analog” music industry of the twentieth century, radio was the most powerful promotion channel. An obscure singer may become a nationwide superstar with primetime radio rotation in a matter of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, circumstances are changing, and over the last decade, radio has been pushed to the outskirts of the music industry. The new promotion channels<\/strong> \u2014 first social media, then streaming services and playlists \u2014 became a hot topic among music industry insiders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, while the internet arena has provided new tools to technologically savvy music marketers, radio has never truly lost its relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What most people consider “radio” <\/strong>is essentially only one component of the landscape: commercial radio. But, if you’re starting and attempting to create a following, it might be best to start with non-commercial radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you listened to a song nonstop recently? This is the result of constant exposure. The radio is fantastic because it allows people to repeatedly listen to the same music. Radios repeatedly play a narrower selection of songs<\/strong> rather than a random playlist. So your song is listed too many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is radio play?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Types of radio play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Commercial radio is the most visible and challenging way to hear your song. These are the typical FM radio stations, such as 101.6 “The Joint!” (or whatever your local version is), and the prominent Sirius XM satellite radios, which broadcast music with intermittent advertisements.
They account for most radio listening (which is 14 times larger than all streaming platforms combined), so getting your music aired on commercial radio can be a career-maker, especially if you’re a starter and want to create a regional audience.

Non-commercial radio, sometimes known as non-profit radio, is a less well-known and less significant type of radio (though it can also include podcasts and radio stations). College radio stations, smaller independent radio stations, and web-only online radio all fit into this group.
While non-commercial radio may not have the prestige (or audience) of commercial radio, it is easier to get on and, thus, a good place to start when seeking airplay. Furthermore, some more influential non-commercial radio stations are frequently used as scouting grounds for mainstream radio programmers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhy should you get your music played on the radio?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
