[Last week]: "American Idol contender Elliott Yamin gets WJJS and WIBT, with spikes at KZFM and WRDW. Other believers include Maurice (KCHZ), JoJo (KWWV), Clay (?), JD (WAJZ), and McConnell (KFAT), with more to come."

[This week]: "Speaking of stealing records from your competitor, this one is perfect to nick away some of their audience. Did you catch Elliott Yamin’s performance the other night on American Idol? “Wait for You” is flying up the Pop chart and R/C programmers are taking notice. Anyone who played Robin Thicke can play this. He’s #1 callout on Mediabase, #1 on Rate the Music and sold a few hundred thousand CDs with virtually no label machine behind him. Connect the dots. SMASH. Just test it and see…"

Good idea! Just test it and see!

BTW, it looks like WWWZ, the Urban station out of Charleston, South Carolina has returned E to their playlist. They had been one of the few consistent Urban stations playing Elliott regularly, and then fell off. Now it looks like they've returned. Very good sign! Must be some strong interest there for the song! And Rhythmic, yes! And while we're speaking of emerging formats, how about UAC? That's my format of choice for E. I think it will help him build more of the soulful music lover audience that I think is the key to his long musical career.
