I guess so ...
the airwaves in US ( let me not generalize .. atleast in the west coast ) -
almost all of the FM Channels have been talking and playing SDM songs
my whole class ( batch of 50 ) have bought the album in iTunes... quite a
few have started looking for more from ARR.
another pleasant thing about the radio attention for SDM is / was one of the
RJ today had a lovely comment which goes something like " when a composer
releases an album , based on the genre of the song , a particular channel
that specialises in it ( rock / slow rock , r&b , soul etc..) pick it up and
promote it and give it all the air time and love as per their liking .. with
AR Rahman , everybody wants a piece of the action because every one of these
songs are so different and so good that it is going to AR Rahman domination
till the oscar fever settles ... "
from the 6 -8 stations me and frds frequent ..."o Saya" , " Jai Ho " ( of
course) , "Mausam " and "Liquid dance" are getting their share of air time
... Jai ho tops the list ... followed by o saya .
of course my observation is not substantiated by any stats , but just a
passing note of a fan :)
