how in the hell is Lenny Kravitz getting so much airplay??

how can Lenny get so much airplay for his single LADY? not only is he getting massive hot a/c airplay but he's getting huge top 40 aiplay! Lenny is only a few years younger than Prince and Lenny's latest Album flopped..yet Prince was huge this year and top 40 wouldnt touch any of his songs!....the only thing i could think of here is PAYOLA big time

A Gap ad w/ Prince & Apollonia would be cool. "Get yer purple sequined cords at the Gap for a limited time only."

I think the popularity is because of the tie-in as a Gap jingle.

I am astounded that such a horrible song has such heavy airplay. I dig Lenny's music some, but that song is just garbage.

It affords rich suburbanites the chance to say things like, "I'm not racist - I listen to Lenny Kravitz!"

Somebody at Virgin Records loves Lenny. I don't know of any artist these days that gets a many chances as this guy. I wondering when they are going to give him his walking papers or bring in outside producers or writters.

Does not seem fair that someone with so little talent gets so many shots and Prince can't get a shot on pop radio for anything in this world.

Because it's a great song and Lenny looks hotter than ever. For those that don't like it, take your ass over to another station and listen to Britney, Madonna & J.Lo!

That would fucking rock.

Apollonia:Fall Into the Gap (with a that nice but thin voice)
Prince: (signature scream)!

Is Lenny really getting that much airplay. I haven't heard the song on Top 40 (then again, I try to avoid it, since it never seems to change). The song isn't bad but man...that album!

It's #40 this week on Billboard's Hot 100. Someone is playing it somewhere.
