摘要:
Breaking News这首歌曲在杰克逊官网发布试听之后,仅在11月8日当天,就已经在至少150家电台播放了。
根据尼尔森BDS的统计,有151家电台播放了这首歌,这些电台的分类包括流行电台、节奏布鲁斯/嘻哈电台、成人音乐电台、摇滚乐电台及老歌电台。第一天共计播放了246次,听众大约220万。
电台主持人Terri Thomas说:“听众对这首歌的反应非常不一样。我觉得这首歌不会是一首畅销曲,但是这首歌挺新颖。大家怀念杰克逊,但是这首歌里找不到他的经典和传奇。”
另一位主持人Skip Dillard说:“这首歌听起来好像并未完成。很多听众反应,很期待听到专辑里的其他歌曲。很多听众质疑整首歌里是不是完全都是杰克逊的声音。我听了好几遍,以确认这是不是杰克逊,我能听到杰克逊的声音,但是有的地方听起来似乎是用别的声音充数完成的这首歌。”

New Michael Jackson Song 'Breaking' At Radio
"Breaking News," a preview track from Michael Jackson's forthcoming album "Michael," received instant airplay on more than 150 radio stations yesterday (Nov. 8), following its premiere on Jackson's website.
The song will appear on the King of Pop's first posthumous album of original material, due Dec. 14 on Epic Records. The cut will stream for one week on Jackson's site, where "Michael" is now available for pre-order.
According to Nielsen BDS, 151 U.S. stations sampled "Breaking News" yesterday on formats ranging from pop and R&B/hip-hop to adult, rock and oldies. The song received 246 plays in its first day of availability and reached an estimated 2.2 million listeners.
Taxi Productions-owned Adult R&B panelist KJLH/Los Angeles played "Breaking News" once yesterday. "Listener reaction was very mixed," says program director Terri Thomas. "Going forward, I don't think that the song is a hit. I think it's a novelty.
"People miss Jackson, but it's hard to compete with his classics and legacy," says Thomas.
Inner City Adult R&B reporter WBLS/New York likewise played "Breaking News" one time yesterday, lifting the audio from Jackson's site. "Our midday host, Egypt, played the song for listeners and was immediately flooded with calls and texts giving a mixed reaction," says program director Skip Dillard.
Michael Jackson's New Album Out Dec. 14
"WBLS listeners overall seemed to think that 'Breaking News' sounds 'unfinished' and is not a representation of the level of perfection that Michael sought in his music. Many listeners who responded asked to hear other tracks and said that they'll be interested to hear what else is on the upcoming album."
Both PDs cited the widespread speculation that the track's vocals may not be Jackson's throughout. As previously reported, Sony Music Group said that it has "complete confidence in the results of our extensive research, as well as the accounts of those who were in the studio with Michael, that the vocals on the new album are his own."
"Many listeners questioned whether it really is Jackson on the whole song," says Thomas.
"I had to listen a few times to make sure it was Jackson all the way through," says Dillard. "I could hear his voice but, at times, it sounded as if other voices were used to complete the track." |
