Get Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts Some Airplay

Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts was released to radio stations across Europe this week.  This song deserves to do well for Brandon, it's a brilliant song with potetial to be a hit, but it won't be unless it gets some airtime. As the record company clearly aren't putting any more money or effort in to promotion then I think we should.

Here's what you can do. 

1. Radio Stations - if your local radio station takes requests, ring them, email them, tweet at them, facebook them, stand outside their office with placcards, whatever it takes to get them to play Jilted.

2. Radio 1. - Radio One has a request show on Saturday evenings.  You can request songs in advance online, or by twitter and facebook. All the links are here. Do all three. Let's get it played on Radio 1.

3. Tell your friends about Jilted. We have three lovely banners designed by our competition winners. Use them. Put them in your signiture on forums, post them on facebook, twitter, print them out and stick them to your work or school notice board. Get the message out.
