usually radio stations have playlists that dont mix with recent news stories , for example bomb the bass being banned during various conflicts (there is a whole list of them) and robert miles song didnt have its tile mentioned after dunblane. What do you think

Actually with the Norway massacre I can actually picture people complaining about this song. But hey, all promotion is good right?

Depends on the rest of the lyrics, but I don't think airplay will be affected.

Supposed to be a love song isn't it? Yes. But apparently Noel had to explain it to Sara, because she didn't get it. |

This is not 1960s Britain or post-9/11 America.
It should be fine.

If it gets hampered by the news then that's pathetic PC idiots for you. I could perhaps see if it had anything to do with death but it itsn't.
What next? There Is A Light That Never Goes Out being banned because of global warming?

It will be fine. If anything, Amy Winehouses death will make the song even more apparant

^^
All those songs were banned because they were controversial. This song won't have a problem with airplay unless it has lyrics which could be interpreted as a mad man shooting people or about a person on drugs dying.
Ed Sheeran - The A Team is a HUGE hit at the moment and that's about a young prostitute with a major drug problem. I don't see a song featuring the word death having any problems.

sailing by Rod Stewart, in the air tonight by phill collins!! controversial? erm ok Sailing wasn't played during the gulf war because DJs were requested not to play songs of a nature that could be interpreted with war or 'sailing' to war. In the Air Tonight wasn't played during the Iraq war due to people fearing Iraq had nuclear weapons that people would 'feel coming in the air tonight'. Also wasn't played after 9/11 for obvious reasons. There's no reason to not play TDOYAM from what we have heard about the song |

Thing is, it might get played on TV and stuff in a memorial sort of thing... just like SCYHO was played in Euro 2004

next thing you know, they'll stop playing "it's raining men" for fear of men falling out of clouds from the sky.

Not that it will be played on the radio anyway. But all rappers do is talk really fast about how they have been shot 13,000 times in the head and how their best mate was stabbed in the face or how many whores they have over a tune ripped from the 70s/80s and that bullshit gets played non stiop on radio 1.
Is a love song with the word "death" in it that bad comapred to that load of shit?

Fast Lane by Eminem mentions the lyrics "You don't suck my dick then you're gonna get decapitated" and that came out the same week that woman who rejected a mans advances had her head literally chopped off in a supermarket in Tenerife and that got plenty of airplay. Think Noel is safe.
