SFBM is already in the shops here in Holland and SonyBMG is promoting Live really well (see also Dans topic on the press coverage). If SFBM will not be released in the US that's truly sad but it doesn't affect Live in the rest of the world, at this point.

Sony/Epic overseas is totally separate from their US counterpart. I guess overseas doesn't suck and the US version is a total joke.

its getting pretty good airplay down here. I hear it in the morning and in the aftternoon all at prime times and they play snippets of ed between songs sometimes "hey this is ed kowalchyzk from live you're listening to blah blah blah". It's at about 33 on the ARIA singles chart in it's second week so thats not bad. TC took a year to get to the top and SFBM isnt even out yet. Chill the fuck out.

#33 now #36 when Heaven cracked the top 20 isn't good. It isn't bad, but it could be better. Hopefully the album opens in the Top 5 on the Aria charts, but who knows at this point.
One thing I have learned is that many Australians like to curse for no reason. It must be a cultural thing, but in the states it is extremely rude and obnoxious.

Also it seems that many stations are increasing plays of the song this week. It also got a new add on Seattle....maybe the song isn't done yet. We shall see. Ed is coming to NYC next week. If we can get the song on the radio here , many smaller markets will follow suit. Its up to WPLJ now......

A couple of nights ago, I got the urge to call 95.5 WPLJ at around 10 pm ( I live in NJ ) to request "The River." I even went so far as to make believe that I wasn't familiar with the band, but that I had heard this song with "rivers or something" and I really liked it. I got through right away, and spoke with the DJ, I think. She told me that they couldn't play "The River" because they don't really play "new" songs. Basically, they need to wait a while to start playing a new song.
So, I was forced to request "Heaven" because that was the only thing they could play, which is fine, but how will this station start playing "The River" if they can't??!! I think that Ed getting interviewed and playing on the station next week (in the morning) will be a great thing. It may get some morning listeners to hear him, remember the band, hear the new song, and start requesting. One can only hope....

PLJ will only pick up certain artists right away(Rob Thomas, Goo Goo Dolls, Bon Jovi, Train, Jewel, and a few others). Other artists take a long time. If they don't add the song withtin the next 2 weeks however, I think the station is doing an awful job at promotion. They are giving away tickets to the sold out Nokia Theatre. Instead of playing the new single and giving people a reason to listen and win tickets, they are just giving away tickets without giving the general public a reason to want to win the tickets. Bad marketing all around.

dude, you guys invented rude and obnoxious. But whatever....i dont wanna get into a war with America now, god knows it would happen over something so stupid....
I just think you are too tied up in Live's commercial affairs. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if you go around to all the music stores and rotate the CD racks so that Live titles are at the front...

peace, keep up the good work

LOL, I actually do.....

I apologize about what I said before, but I am just irritated about all the confusion regarding the new album. Epic or FOL needs to make an official statement soon.....because this is getting ridiculous.
