Spitzer scrutinizes music companies
Stations may have been paid to play songs
News Services

ALBANY, N.Y. - New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is examining whether radio is engaged in a new form of pay for play reminiscent of the payola scandals in the 1950s, a record company confirmed Friday.

The London-based EMI Group record label said it and other companies in the music and broadcast industries have been queried by Spitzer about the promotion of their recordings on radio stations.

"We are cooperating fully," EMI said in statement. "EMI has a long-standing, strict written policy prohibiting unlawful radio promotion practices, and that policy was reaffirmed internally earlier this year. EMI has no reason to believe that there will be any material financial impact on the company."

1. every pop act is in on this
How do you think these stars that nobody's ever heard of, who never played live before, get on the radio?

It ain't their talent.

Ashley Simpson had a record deal BEFORE she ever played live.

2. You are correct.
Thank GOD I don't listen to pop radio, and that I have a kick-ass non-ClearChannel-owned rock station in my city that I listen to 24/7. The funny thing is that I recently went to the website of my local ClearChannel-owned teeny-pop station, and saw the top-20 list, and I had never even HEARD of most of those talentless hacks on the list (save for Eminem and Janet Jackson and maybe a couple others).

Yep, it's good to be blind to pop music. And thank GOD the rock stations have rejected the fake-rock poseur music coming from Ashlee and Avril.
