Inside Justin Bieber's Flood-The-Zone Approach at Pop Radio

billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/9510056/justin-bieber-pop-radio-anyone-analysis

 

Last June, Scooter Braun played over a dozen new songs by his client Justin Bieber for Def Jam executive vp/head of promotion Nicki Farag, and proposed a new kind of radio release strategy.

 

The pop superstar was in the midst of the most fertile creative period of his career after releasing his 16-song album Changes only four months earlier in February, and "Stuck With U," his quarantine-inspired charity single with Ariana Grande, in May. "No album, just yet -- a single release every month," Farag remembers Braun saying. "I'm like, You're out of your f-- king mind. Who's gonna want to consume that much Bieber in such a short amount of time?"

 

Bieber's singles will lead into a new album, Farag confirms, although the immediate goal is “taking 'Anyone' all the way at multiple formats," says Bracy. None of the new singles have yet topped the Hot 100, but Medina says Bieber's flood-the-zone rollout could inspire other labels and managers to rethink release strategies. "I think the key is measuring what success is," he says. “Is it a No. 1 on the Hot 100? Or is it having three songs out [at once] that are incredibly strong?"

 

Does that mean that a smaller number of established artists will dominate Top 40 and squeeze out newer acts? From a radio perspective, "that's a good problem to have," says Jeremy Rice, director of branding and programming for WBLI (Long Island, N.Y.). "Don't you want your biggest artists to constantly be having hits?"

[shookgrande]

Justin's current radio situation is really similar to what Ariana's was

rollingstone.com/music/music-features/ariana-grande-revolutionizing-pop-radio-803279/

billboard.com/articles/columns/podcasts/8483928/ariana-grande-jagger-chart-beat-podcast

 

Pop radio program directors are currently buried under an avalanche of Ariana Grande songs. “I’ve got three currents and another two in recurrent rotation,” says Nathan Graham, program director for the Philadelphia Top 40 station WTDY. “And I still want to play her older stuff — ‘Side to Side.’ I will literally play her every 15 minutes if I have all those titles in rotation.”

 

“It’s hard to make room for other artists,” Graham acknowledges. “I have talks with labels all the time: I would love to get to your song, but when Ari is dropping something [or three somethings] those take the place of other new songs.” 

 

Radio playlists are tighter than they once were — fewer songs are in rotation, so each spot is more heavily contested. And pop programmers center their attention on a tiny handful of songs. “A Top 40 radio station is playing five songs 120 times a week every week,” one longtime radio promotions veteran told Rolling Stone last year. Those spots traditionally go to a Swift or a Grande... 

 

Rappers have been so successful with never-ending-waterfall release strategies that pop stars, including Grande, are trying to do the same thing. “It’s a fairly new problem for us,” Graham acknowledges. “You used to have a single go for three months, then the next one. Now it’s a drop every other Thursday. Grande’s revolutionizing that for pop radio.” 

 

“You may find that [pushing multiple singles to radio at once] reduces the overall spins for those songs as you’re trying to answer the question of artist separation rules,” says Terri Thomas ... This hasn’t hampered Grande, though. She had three radio hits from Sweetener, and two of those were still in regular rotation when she started the campaign for her next album. In the wake of Thank U, Next she has two of the top four hits at Top 40 radio — with more than 30,000 spins last week between them — and a third one climbing.

Thank you for posting this, really interesting read. Sadly, somehow radio isn't ready yet, they've been way slow to move on from single to single, in fact, radio has been the slowest this century these recent years. We'll see what happens this year.

Honestly, that strategy is simply a mess and will only benefit the hitmakers with a huge label support.
