Billboard is now including music downloads in calculating its Hot 100, which makes me think that a concerted effort to buy songs with liberal propaganda value could boost our message onto the charts. Yes, in the era of ClearChannel, it might be a difficult task to get these songs on the radio, but then again, the corporate media giants are ultimately whores for money and will cooperate if there is dinero to be had. And we can turn left-leaning acts into stars.
Use this thread to discuss whether getting songs that spread a progressive message more airplay is possible and a valuable tool and to mention progressive-minded acts that deserve more recognition,
