Amended official release dates for new album Options

[NectarDan]

The release date for Live's new album has officially been pushed back yet again in the United States, now scheduled for a June 13th release date. The Sony Records Store has also re-posted the pre-order page for the new album back to their website. This now makes it the 4th time the album has been delayed (prior release dates were originally scheduled for November 15th, March 21st, April 11th, and May 9th). No reason has been given for this latest delay though, or if it is subject to change again. The new album will also be released this week in Holland, Australia, New Zealand, and other International countries; and will be released on May 9th in Canada.

"The River" dropped again in airplay this week. Geffen was able to get Heaven solid airplay, unfortunately Epic seems to be a bit less willing to push the band. What good is there in releasing a second single if the label refuses to push it? LIVE made a great POP/Hot A/C album, but unfortunately the songs may never reach its intended audience. There aren't enough alternative/rock songs to release to that market either, even if they had a good one I doubt US rock stations will play LIVE again. They rather play generic punk rock.

Its a shame because The River and Mystery are exceptional singles in the proper format, but they aren't getting the airplay because Epic won't take the necessary chance of really pushing LIVE.

How is The River dropping in airplay?

KMXP is playing it twice an hour, at least.

KMXB may be playing it alot (they played it 26 times total last week), but the total number of spins in the Hot AC format has declined over the past week. So it may be doing great in your market, but overall its airplay is now on the downfall. There are only 7 stations in the whole US who are playing it more than 20 times a week currently, which is pretty bad for a first single that has been out for 2/3 months).
