Album released to Radio

[bcrt2000]

Alan Cross' twitter said it was released 2 hours ago.

Edge 102.1 (the station that Alan Cross is a part of) just played magnificent, breathe and crazy tonight

 

[last unicorn]

Excellent!

 

[zoopop]

Did anyone watch the Spurs vs. Pistons last night? During the final timeout the Pistons PA guy played "Breathe". I was at a Spurs party at a bar and they had the game turned pretty loud & during the timeout I was like, "Wait a second, there playing Breathe". Pretty cool.

 

[Bonogirl777]

Awesome!

Just heard Magnificent on XM Satellite Radio.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

I heard some of the album on three different radio stations, including the aforementioned 102.1 The Edge - all the dj's liked Magnificent, it really needs to be their next single!

 

[Achtung_CJ]

Just heard Magnificent on XM Satellite Radio.

This is great news that it's on the radio! I have XM too, it'd be a nice treat to hear some U2 songs on my way home. What station?

Crazy Tonight now being played on KROQ

IGCIIDGCT is being played right now during Kevin and Bean on KROQ. They also said they'll be playing another track next hour.

 

[TheEnd]

Anyone who has heard DJ comments on various track please do share them in here. I'm interested in the reaction.

 

[last unicorn]

There are several threads about radio play of the album floating around in this forum. I don't envy the mods these days. It would be nice to merge them. So far nothing on my national radio stations, but I'll keep my ears open.

 

[U2freakboy]

Which station on XM played Magnificent?

Which station on XM played Magnificent?

Probably AltNation

 

[U2freakboy]

I figured. AltNation has been playing Boots the most too.

Philly Radio

Pierre Robert from WMMR in Philly just played Magnificent, Unknown Caller and Crazy Tonight on the radio. Pierre is the only radio host for a local station to get an interview with Bono in the US. It was in 2004 right after Bono kicked off the One Campaign.

 

[MMP]

Cool!
Here's hoping that UC becomes a single.

YouTube - LiVE 88.5 Pulls U2 songs after legal threats

 

[purpleoscar]

That was funny

 

[Dragonfave]

 

[rantor49]

what's funny is that at U2's myspace page you can stream the complete album, track by track. So they seem to be cool with the early listening.

They only put that up today, and its only for US users. This radio station was in Canada, and that was from yesterday. Now the album has been released to radio so it doesn't matter.

I just heard Breathe on the radio (92.9 in Boston - it was 2 weeks before I caught Boots on there after the release)

 

[bdogm]

Where are the stations getting the music? None of the new stuff shows up at yes.com other than Boots.
yes.com

 

[bcrt2000]

the reports so far have been

Edge 102.1 in Toronto
Radio 92.9 in Boston
KROQ in LA
AltNation on XM

I'm pretty sure nearly every station that plays new alt rock is going to be playing new U2 at some point today.

 

[lauramullen]

This is so exciting. Can't wait to hear more songs

Looks like the only 2 new songs they played so far (going back to 4:00am). They did play SYCMIOYO somewhere between 4-9am.

Unknown Caller and MOS? Are you kidding? Those are the longest tracks on the album! Not what I'd think of as "radio-friendly"...but good for them for playing two of my personal favorites.

EDIT: And then they played Radiohead? WIN.

 

[Lila64]

Yeah, they play a decent variety of music, although I'd like to kill them when they throw on The Doobie Brothers which just played, followed by The Pretenders-Break Up The Concrete. you can listen online too, which I do because I get practically zero reception on my radio in the house.

I'm hoping they play a new song every hour or two, who knows!

I just heard Breathe on the radio (92.9 in Boston - it was 2 weeks before I caught Boots on there after the release)

I heard it too! I was in the car and turned it all the way up.

I heard Magnificent on WAAF about a half hour ago, and WBCN just played Cedars of Lebanon.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I heard Magnificent a little while ago on 101.9 WXRP FM in NYC. They're playing other tracks as well, but I've only heard Magnificent.
