why have the Hot a/c stations....

why have the Hot a/c stations embraced Lenny Kravitz and not Prince? they have played all of Lenny's singles so far this year and are really playing Lady now big time..but they didnt play Muaicology,Call My Name and Barely had a few spins for Cinnamon Girl..strange

I don't see how them embracing Lenny has anything to do with Prince's music. Lenny may bite him with a passion, but he's a pop artist at the end of the day. I haven't seen Prince shaking his booty for Gap recently so... confused

Cus Prince's music is not as commercial as Lenny's. When Lanny gets a hit, he trys to do it again the same way. Prince dont do that. Prince does music as art.
Goodnight, sweet Prince.

Oh PLEASE let's not start some bullshit theory of "Prince can't get a hit cause radio is racist". rolleyes

That thing about age is bullshit too since U2 have no troubles at all.

My only guess is that it has something to do with the way Prince isn't traditionally signed to a big label that takes care of stuff like this.

simple...Prince aleinated radio with some of his music, TGE, C&D, NPS, Rave albums. His war against MTV, you can't bite the hand that feeds you..and that would explain Britney & Madonna sucess.

TGE? Huh? A brilliant pop album with the most guitar heavy sound to it since his biggest selling album of all time alienated radio? The same album that contained the big hit The Most Beautiful Girl?

Warner Bros didn't promote it well enough. TGE is my all-time Prince album. Tell me how the song "Gold" did not go top 20??? That is pop as you can get.

Also remember TMBGITW was released a year and half before TGE...
