2006-05-23 | |||
NASHVILLLE, Tenn., May 22 (UPI) -- It appears the war U.S. country radio stations mounted against the politically outspoken Dixie Chicks has not abated in the least.
Although the album hits stores Tuesday, the first two singles from the album are not getting widespread airplay, Billboard.com reported Monday. The first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," only peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and the second single, "Everybody Knows," is moving downward after its peak at No. 48.

#17 "We never considered ourselves country". -Well then, maybe they should've let all those record stores know so that their CD's could've been properly displayed in sections *other* then country thus stopping those confused country fans from buying all those CD's and making them awfully rich. Or, just drop the "Dixie" from their name & replace it with "Hippie". |

#16 to finish...now though, the trio have done shot the horse that brung 'em home. I was listening on NPR (I believe) a few days ago and one of them was saying things like, "We never considered ourselves country". |

#12 I'm waiting for the followup story. I can see it now . . . . CHICKS NIX BLIX PIX NASHVILLE (Dissociated Press) -- Former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix was supposed to appear in a photo spread in next month's Vanity Fair with antiwar recording stars The Dixie Chicks, but the Chicks backed out at the last minute. The Chicks gave no reason for the sudden change of heart, and Blix is said to be furious . . . . |

#11 Howard dean clandestinely backing a white candidate against a black one, All due respect, OS, but Drudge was the only one with that story and he backed off on it. There was general GOTV and some assistance to voters who haven't moved back to NOLA yet from DNC, but no aid to Landrieu. |

#8 Gee.. that 'ol cause and effect again. Piss off your main customers and they don't listen to/buy your stuff. Too bad, so sad. Go make music with Moby since you think like him. |

#4 Natalie Maines is playing idiot roulette - instead of doing it "Russian ROulette" style using a revolver and 1 round, she decided to load a full clip into a a .45, rack it, and try her luck. "self-indulgent, selfish, whiny" - yep, thats loudmouthed entertainment liberals for ya. I just love Liberals when they get angry - they do more damage to their cause than any conservative ever could. And they'll cheer themselves all the way! Operation Foot-Bullet continues apace! Howard dean clandestinely backing a white candidate against a blcak one, etc. Now this. "Just shot myself in the foot! Must be the Conservatives fault - so I'll Reload and Shoot Again!" |

#3 I don't think country music is big in La Belle France, we much prefer french rap (need I to say more?) and insipid french pop, in fact I'm not even sure anybody has heard of country music... but I could be wrong. |
