| Let's keep requesting! If everyone can do even just a few requests a day, we can get Matt higher and higher on the chart. He needs to get more spins AND more adds! We need to be relentless on our requests if we want it do get to Top 10. We can't let it slow down. PLEASE, please devote some minutes to this everyday. THANK YOU!!! | |

| I like mattyfan's suggestion to send an email to the radio stations that are interviewing Matt and Jim, or are playing "Thank You", just telling them we appreciate it. Any buzz about Matt at an AC station will possibly help, and certainly can't hurt. I have sent thank you notes to all the stations with email addresses that I know are currently playing "Thank You". Mostly I am not getting a response, but I do occasionally. So, this is a good thing to do, especially if you don't have a local station that you can request to play the song.
I sent a note to Tommy and Brook from West Michigan Star thanking them for Monday's interview and podcast, and received the following response:
It's our pleasure. Feel free to tell your friends to follow us on twitter, and become a fan on our facebook page. We always post updates that we give on Matt that others 'might not get access too' there! twitter.com/tommyandbrook facebook.com/tommyandbrookfan Tommy and Brook Mornings 5-10 on Star 105.7 www.westmichiganstar.com Sign up to be a STAR 105.7 VIP! http://westmichiganstar.com/cc-common/globalsignup.html | |

| I received a response from Tommy and Brook, too! We really need to get on this. We can't let the momentum die down. Please aim to request from all the stations every week. Even if you're not from the area, stations won't mind as long you don't spam. | |

| A wonderful thing just happened. I noticed from posted stuff that Milwaukee was playing "Thank You", and it is the largest market yet that has added the song. So I thought I would go check out the website and see how to thank them for playing the song. I happened to see the playlist, and guess what song was playing right at that moment (at 8:28 PM)? You can see the playlist for yourself at http://www.b933fm.com/ And this is prime radio time! I think funnymonkie had some impact on making this happen!

| Guys, I'm quoting csprof's post today on the Chart thread here: "The song moved up to #29, but the growth is slowing. #27 and #28 are just 2 spins ahead, and #28 is dropping in spins, so I think he will push up one or two positions in the next few days. But #25 and #26 have pulled ahead so that #25 is now 8 spins away. He may stay at #27 for a while, until some of the higher-ranked songs (like #23 and #24) drop below him." So, we really need to request now more than ever! We can't let this slow down any more. Please, please do what you can. If the phone lines are busy, you can email the Program/Music Director or the DJs directly. I really feel this is Matt's chance to get noticed in a big way,. He's got Jim Brickman's pull, but we also need to do our part. THANK YOU! | |

OK - so I listened to B93.3 and watched the playlist all evening yesterday on my pc, only running out for a few minutes at a time to water my parched flowers on the patio. I wanted to email the station right after they played it to thank them. 80's & 90's really isn't the kind of music I listen to, so it was a long evening lol. I finally gave up and went to bed around midnight. I checked this morning and saw that it was played at 1:15am. I'll try again today. The things we do for Matt | |

Thanks, pasnthru! Maybe you can find a station you like better that is playing "Thank You". I have to say that I do not normally listen to my local AC stations. The one listed on Mediabase plays tons of plastic surgery, home refinancing and debt consolidation commercials and really terrible music! There is another local AC station that is fine, but not on Mediabase, and the only "Thank You" it is playing is that one by Dido. | |

| Hi everyone, I just saw the following on twitter, from a Mediabase station in Providence, RI.
@LiteRock105 Just played the new song called Thank You by Jim Brickman & Matt Giraud from American Idol. If you heard it could... http://fb.me/ybarlMje [Rest says let him know if you like it and that he'll be playing it again on Monday...]
Here's the station: http://www.literock105fm.com/
Here is the facebook entry for the song (only 3 people like it so far!): https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=124444064270380&id=120798047431
And here is the email address so that you can contact the DJ:

| I have been watching the playlist of WLHT in Grand Rapids for two days now and they have not once played "Thank You". I find this surprising since it is a station Matt has visited somewhat recently. This is the station with John Gonzalez (GRGonzo), who is part of Barnaby and Friends. Should we also target this station? Surely there are tons of Matt fans in GR that want to hear this song.
Also, if any of these syndicated shows actually syndicate the music they play, it is good for lots of spins. But our experience with John Tesh shows that maybe the music is not part of the syndicated show and is selected by the stations. | |

| I've now been watching the playlist of WLHT in Grand Rapids all week, and they have not played "Thank You" a single time. I'm shocked because Matt has such a strong base of fans in Grand Rapids. I think the tweets you all are doing are helpful, and I have been sending them mail, but somehow we need to escalate. Does anyone know John Gonzalez or anyone else associated with that station well enough to talk to them or could somehow talk to the programming person? Do we have any folks on this board that live in or near Grand Rapids and can organize a group of locals to contact the radio station on a regular basis? I know Matt has lots of fans in GR, but I don't know how to find them.
I think it is important for Matt to be played by more stations. I also think we need to be making this happen soon before he plateaus on the chart. So, this is why I am thinking about this specific station, since it ought to have been one of the first to play his song and for some reason, it isn't. | |

| You know I have an idea I will create an entirely different thread/subject and title it radio requests and in that thread we can make sub-threads with geographical regions and in the geographical regions threads individual states so we can organize this much better. LOL I hope all this makes sense? | |

Jenna, This sounds like a great idea. We can direct people to the specific region through twitter, and they can bypass a couple of levels of threads. By the way, the thread on picking the top 7 Matt songs was very successful at bringing new people to the forum! | |
