Ok, I have a serious question for whoever knows the answer. I was always under the impression that stations were in control of what they play on the radio as far as preferences are concerned. Recently, and I can't even remember where I read it, I got the impression that the artist is in control of what is played on the radio. For instance, can a radio station play any song off of a new studio album or are they restricted to playing only the songs that an artist releases as a single. Help me out if you can cause now I am utterly confused.
