Re: Commercial Radio Test Results

We have had the opportunity to review as well as radio test market your submission. The results you will find below (see bottom of email for description and definition of test). As you may already know, Loggins Promotion conducts these test at no charge to you so that you receive information that will assist and guide you in the direction you should be taking your music.

As you can see from the results below, we have received some wonderful response from radio on your music. This in turn will give you a recommended level towards a commercial radio promotion/marketing campaign.

At this time we recommend you conduct a national radio campaign which would increase your visibility to major record companies. As you know, If you are attempting to secure a recording contract, publishing or distribution for your material you must either generate sales upwards of 20 thousand units, otherwise gain a substantial amount of commercial radio station support. Loggins Promotion is hired by both major and independent labels to secure such support.

Description and Definition of Commercial Radio Tests

All tests were done within the commercial mainstream radio markets. Radio stations participating in test are commercially reporting radio stations to NMW (New Music Weekly), FMQB (FM Quarterback), BDS (Billboard), Music Row and R&R (Radio & Records).

Ratings: Ratings are based upon a one, two, three and four star basis. We strongly recommend promoting songs with three or four star rating; they have great potential to become a "standard" for the target audience and with target radio stations. Songs with a two star rating aren't as strong, but have solid programming value, and we also do recommend promoting them as "follow up" singles or at least re-testing at a later date. Songs testing one star are "borderline", few negatives, but few positives at this point. These singles are worth keeping around for possible re-testing.

I like the big orchestration and driving beat

I'm not an engineer so I don't know exactly how to describe what my ear was missing. The vocal is well sung but the vocal mix doesn't seem to match the big sound of the other tracks.
