Why no air play

in the UK there has been no airplay of the new songs - is it the same acorss the globe (apart from the exclusive in LA a few months back).

Prince use to be an innovator and what would be better to get his fans to help get him airplay - I mean send me over the tracks and I will get them played on the shows where I know the DJ's dig him and would play them. Also a slot on the Jonathan Ross show would showcase his live shows, especially after all the recent Jacko hype! - and what do I want in return - free membership and tickets to a few select gigs - not too much to ask is it?

What's so innovative about continued reliance on a medium that has made itself increasingly irrelevant?
