maybe it's just me, but i didn't think her new album was as accessible to mainstream radio. it was almost straight up disco. the whole way through. like you were supposed to be dancing in a club somewhere. her vocals weren't really the centerpiece of the songs. the beats were. sure, it's not like she hasn't sampled house stuff before, but this album really put it front-stage. when i was listening to it i was thinking that just about anyone could be doing her vocals and it would sound the same. top 40 radio doesn't buy into music this transient. it's gotta be in your face or not there at all.

"Confessions" brought me back to ole Madge, even though I own most of her CDs, I hadn't loved one since "erotica" (Tho I like alot of "Ray of Light")....It's sad it isn't played on the radio in places, but she's all over Lake Havasu radio, and we're a shit hole town in Az. Whats up with that ?

Is Madonna the subject of a Dixie Chicks-like boycott?

Songs from the Material Girl’s latest album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” have been hits around the world, but hasn’t fared as well in the U.S. Some fans are alleging that radio stations owned by Clear Channel — a company with strong ties to the Republican party — are refusing to play her music because of the pop star’s comments blasting George Bush and the war in Iraq. Madonna has been an outspoken critic of the war and during her current “Confessions” concert tour, makes obscene comments about President Bush. Clear Channel stations were said to be key in keeping the Dixie Chicks’ music off the air after one of them made highly publicized comments about being “embarrassed” to be from the same state as George Bush.

Nearly 5,000 Madonna fans have signed a petition that’s being sent to Clear Channel head Mark P. Mays, accusing the company of keeping the singer off the radio airwaves. “The evidence that there is a boycott from American Radio is too obvious for words ... Madonna rules the planet, EXCEPT for the USA,” according to the petition writer, who went on to note that Madonna holds the two top positions in the United World Chart, but a number of petition signers report that when they request Madonna’s music, they’re told by Clear Channel-owned stations she’s too old or not popular enough.

A spokesman for Clear Channel told the Scoop he had no comment on the alleged boycott. “It's not to say we won't have comment in the future — just not right now,” he said.

It's just you...Europe is playing Get Together 16458337 times a day and Hung Up was I believe the single most played tune on the radio in 2005 in scandinavia. On the other hand, we don't care shit for hip hop over here so it's more of a matter of priority rather than accessibility.
