Regarding the digital download packages ;-

Don't you have to download all the songs for it to count as one sale?

Love Etc will receive its World Exclusive first radio play on Ken Bruce's show on BBC Radio 2 - Monday, February 9th.
That's 5 weeks before its due release date. I'll be in New York from Feb 7th. Shit.

5 weeks before release seems quite short by these days standards but so long as radio plays it...

So it means Radio 1 is not going to play the record (The Brits don't change anything).

Five weeks in advance of the single release is pretty normal for a first radio play.
Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.

Anyway, "I'm with stupid" was played before in other European radio stations (Spanish and German radios). So, there is no reason to think it's not going to happen again.

Radio 2 having the first play doesn't mean Radio 1 won't play it, but they're hardly a R1 target audience act. When was the last time they were playlisted on Teen FM?
It doesn't matter anyway, far more important is getting played on commercial stations.
I don't think winning the Outstanding Contribution award got Paul McCartney and Duran Duran back on R1 playlist.

Don't expect The Brits performance/ award to radically alter people's perceptions of the group. It may attract a few extra fans but they're still 2 middle-aged men playing the (youth-centric) pop game.

than a big blank check to be a lover, or
a gulf stream jet to fly you door to door
somewhere chic on another shore
you need more
you need more
you need more
you need more

a super car to get far
(don't have to wear)
a smile much colder than ice
(don't have to be)
beautiful, but its nice

than the...????? hangin' on the wall
a chauffeur driven limousine encore
to drive your wife and lover to a ??? ball
you need more
you need more
you need more
you need more
you need more

you need love.

i believe that we can achieve the love that we need
i believe...
call me naive, but love is for free
