Hate to burst your professional bubble but most high school kids get music before its released nowadays.
As a DJ and journalist I've found that a lot of stuff makes it to P2P before my promo copy even arrives.
No bubble burst,just chit chat.
I get most of my music before release,almost all of it.
I agree alot goes to p2p fast,but then thats illegal music downloads and i dont play it or load it on my comps.I know thats considered retarded by some of the jocks I work with and most of the free world,but NASCAP doesnt. bottom line is its stealing.I dont need the drama,and i dont want to add to the clubs drama by bringing it in.
With all the different music sources dj's have,its rare that they dont have one first.At least i dont run into that problem often.
Besides,if its p2p,it was probably some dj with a music service who tossed it on the internet first.
You can also add that if they get a song before the dj and before the radio/mtv assorted platforms,most of their crowd wont know it and wont relate to it.So its rare that it could be considered playing to the crowd.
