We're having an argument on 2 threads at the same time. This is exhilarating!

You seem to be arguing with me, though I'm not sure why.

I'm not fussed.

"If you understood that it's self explanatory, why ask "Yeah and?" was essentially a rhetorical question anyway.

You seem to be getting schooled in the other thread so I'll leave it here. xx

Queen were still introduced to the young crowds through MTV. According to Billboard magazines in the 80’s, Queen singles still made regular rotation on MTV whether they were hit songs or not.

Perhaps low intelligence such as Runner_70 and co are capable of schooling you, but not me. That would explain why - to you - it would "seem" that way.

"The other thread" and your personal grievances and baggage over that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Quite a few acts. some other older acts from abroad tended to suffer lack of airplay as a result of the Payola scandal. From what I recall, Queen was the biggest name. However, as Capital suffered from a loss of funding, they avoided risk by focusing on a few acts only, such as Duran Duran (who were very popular in the U.S at this point, with their previous two albums in '82 and '83 going 2× Platinum). After Hot Space, Queen wouldn't have been seen as a dead cert in the U.S, despite the sales of Radio Gaga looking fairly good up until that point.

Whatever you want to believe. It would be a plus if you could stop derailing this thread.
