Title: What happened to the remix?
Post by: Suga Foot on February 03, 2011, 03:56:41 PM

I was always curious as to why over the last 7 or so years remixes don't have new beats.  Turns out it's because of Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) and their radio tracking software.


Just blaze explains in this video

Here in the UK pop tracks from artists like Madonna get more spins on Dance stations that wouldn't play the track by having a Dance/Trance remix.

I guess the rap market is only about the $$$ these days. ::)
