'Hold Me Closer' Radio Request Thread

[grevan]

Hey all! Its been about 6 years since I have made a thread like this but since our gorl is back AT it with Hold Me Closer, I thought I would spread the word about radio station text to request!

Texting directly into radio stations to request is the easiest and most effective way to get radio spins!

Americans:

Step 1: From your phone, make a group chat with all of the radio station's numbers below.

Step 2: Send ONE message that hits up the all the biggest stations across America. 

Step 3: DO THIS OFTEN! 

Tip: Be sweet in your text. Say you love the station, say please and thanks.. real people read these and we need them to want to play the song. 

NON Americans (like me, baby):

Step 1: Sign up for www.textnow.com - Sign up for a completely free, fully functioning American phone number that you choose. I chose Area Code (917) - New York and text stations from my browser and from the App on my iPhone. It works and its so easy! (You can mess with your friends too!)

Step 2: Text all the numbers below once to open a conversation. You can send your message to more than one station to get started. Just enter each radio station code, hit enter, and enter another until you are through the list. You will see a toggle that says "Create separate conversations".. make sure you do that!  Hit send and it will create all the new conversations.

Step 3: Going forward, you need to repeat Step 2. The web based Text Now seems to not send messages that are copied and pasted. Switch to the phone app to copy and paste messages 1 by 1. This has been tested and works. Takes about 5 min.

STATION NUMBERS:

I cant be certain that all these numbers are 100% valid but some will text you back thanking you for your request. Even if the number is not valid.. it certainly cant hurt!

did anyone get a text back? i didn't

[grevan]

Hey all FYI I edited the OP with a bit of a change in instructions for NON-US stans. I noticed that the web based Text Now seems to not send text messages that are pasted into the service.. only newly typed out messages. If you want to use your computer only, you will have to repeat Step 2 each time.. which is still pretty quick.

If you switch to your phone, you can copy and paste the same text into the existing conversations you created and these seems to work.

I have been getting texts back from only about a handful of stations but this confirms for me that the messages are going through so this does work!

Youre welcome babe

These are the threads we need! Thank you sweetie

I called a Top40 one to request they play “Hold Me Closer” and the DJ or whoever answered the phone said they will within the next half hour.

What types of stations play new and old Elton John stuff? I guess I could call those type of stations too even if I don’t regularly listen to them?

Is anyone else calling radio stations?

Textttttt

Bumping for the real fans 

[Frankie8]

Maybe we should use a voice changer to sound like teenage girls since that is the demo for pop stations . We are so far out of their target audience just by being male and those in their 20s and older. 

[Kiss my]

No

[Markoct]

Yes, I asked them to play demo and nothing
