Great example of this:
@loonatheworld
That last part is so important - radio doesn't have to be a copycat of the most-streamed songs in a city! Some songs work better for a radio audience, some work better for streaming.
But when an artist has a good relationship w/ radio, that's a good thing for everyone involved!
