BoA getting radio airplay from coast to coast

BoA KPOP Korean Music

BoA received some airplay on November 17th on two giant radio stations from both the east and west coast.

On the west coast, KIIS-FM, one of the largest radio stations in Los Angeles played BoA's "Eat You Up" song. One of the hosts named JoJo talked about BoA and described her as the asian pop princess. They also played advertisements of BoA that was voiced over by JoJo that talked about her upcoming performance at the Jingle Ball.

On the east coast, WHTZ (Z100), one of the largest radio stations in the country (with over 5 million weekly listeners) based out of New York also played similar advertisements.

Radio airplay of the song "Eat You Up" should start on other radio stations across the country in the upcoming weeks.

To hear BoA's song getting airplay across various radio stations is exciting news for BoA and her fans. It seems the day you'll actually see BoA's music video on MTV doesn't really seem that far away.

wow that’s impressive! I honestly didnt expect her to get radio play

Very exciting news (although i’m from the UK so i wonder if it’ll ever be played over here), Once people start requesting that song on radio stations it will be even cooler.
Good luck BoA, can’t wait for the album!

OH dear god. I thought that was KISS’s Jingle Bell Bash in Seattle.
If it was I had to go. Anyways, that’s awesome.

Congrats to Boa and I hope to hear her in Seattle soon.

Good for her.
At least her music is getting played.

 
medirin's avatar

i’m surprised - i still haven’t heard that song played on the radio, and i listen to Z100 often.

 
VUDU's avatar

I think I might call up the biggest local radio station to play her song. It’d be really cool to hear it.

Wow shes only been here for like a month and shes already getting some air time… maybe in a year or two shell be big… goodluck to her.. SM really knows how to promote..

 
Heladofrito's avatar

I’m getting used to her song, finally. I knew it would only be a matter of time before I heard her song on the radio.

 
MushyMorshy's avatar

Glad shes getting promoted. Hope she’ll succeed which can lead other artist from Asia to enter. THEN THE WORLD WILL BE DOMINATED BY ASIANS-Minus the indians.

Radio FTW~! XD I hope to be able to see her on some other radio stations, too. Hope SM is promoting her correctly.

Maybe she’ll succeed where Rain failed miserably. ^^ Go BoA! Fighting!

Wow.  i’m surprised that Eat You Up has made it to radio stations. SM is doing some surprisingly good promoting for BOA.

 
orenji's avatar

SM knows what he’s doing, if she’s not ready for US SM will never let her debut there.
Good luck for BoA, not a fans of her but she’s surely one amazing hardworking girls. She knows what it takes to be success. Including what some people may say as a lousy street interview but I think she saw it as an opportunity smile

I haven’t listened to the radio in forever, but I’m glad she’s getting airtime. My main concern was the video, but if her song does good on the radio, none of that will matter.
Congrats =]

OMG!!! Promotion is finally starting for Boa. I’m so happy and excited for her. I wish Boa the best of luck with her US debut. I wish I live in Cali though- that way I can hear Boa on the radio and go see her perform. But Boa is performing Eat You Up for the first time this Sunday on Youtube Live- I can’t wait.

@ r0fl: music in america hit rock bottom when rappers started to disrespect women.
well, boa’s getting a start. I’m gonna request her song to be played on sirius music stations.

 
★corraaaaa's avatar

Lmao I sent requests to CHUM FM, The Edge, and JACK FM a long time ago. As soon as it came out. xD;; I should go try again. Maybe I just missed them playing it O_O

@trashstar: That doesn’t mean anything. That station will barely give the song any airtime because of the top hits in rotation. Also, Utada, mink (#1), S.Blush already hit the Dance/Pop charts.

She’s not even listed in the Jingle Ball website.

Problem is, the first line of the song already uses Engrish: “...I knew nothing’s like it’s used to be.” No one’s gonna be singing that, unless along with our current gangster kind of trend comes an Engrish trend, hahaha and I don’t think that’s coming any time soon.

Don’t get me wrong. I like BoA and I’d love to see her succeed here, but I think this is just going to be a mediocre level of fame at most.

Wow, the ball’s actually moving. O.O

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :]
And writers, do you stalk BJJ or something? Nearly exact pieces of info pasted.

shoo.instead of boa bring dbsk! or big bang! but w/e.they can come over after boa gets more attention from the media. but good luck to boa. lets hope we see her on mtv, e!news, vh1, and best week ever! <—my favorite show. wonder how they’ll make fun of her. but still love her always!

 
no avatar

WOWWW. kiis fm? really? and at jingle ball? that’s pretty legit exposure. anyways, i’m not as surprised about this news as i would have been a couple of months ago. i know a good amount of people who aren’t asian music fans, but absolutely love boA’s eat you up and have it on replay.

She’s not getting “played” on the radio, just small advertisements. Her digital single has already failed. It plummeted faster than a concrete block in water!

@ Anneliese:

Americans wrote the song.  Enough with “the song isn’t grammatically correct and the world will end” bullcrap.

her song is catchy, it’s all you need to get america listening. good job on sm’s part in trying to promote her.

 
no avatar

congrats, girl!  it isn’t much but you have to start somewhere.  just focus on improving your english (when speaking and singing!) and you could do really well.

i listen to z100 everyday when i go to school. will look out for her songs…

Did someone say Se7en? Where is he right now?

 
kpopgrrl's avatar

I looked on Chicago’s local KISS FM website and found her mv on the On Demand Music Video player. I don’t know if they play on the song on air but considering that WKSC is owned by KIIS it’s a possibility.

 
eumakai's avatar

wow now I’m impressed…I actually used to listen to Z100 and believe me when I say they only play songs that are pretty popular…you’ll hear the same damn song out of that station 20 times a day if people like it.

LOL. Who listens to radio these days. There’s something called IPod and PS3. People are busy with work, playing games, school, etc. Not much people listen to the raido, unless they’re in their car or something. Heck! I don’t even listen to the radio anymore, but it’s just the radio, I haven’t heard her yet on the radio, so okay~, but it’s all just starting to reveal!

 
Shattered_Regrets's avatar

Damn I’m impressed. I srsly want to see BoA succeed. That would make me happy ^_^

 
milangurl89's avatar

KIIS!!! that’s a big one…
when i used to listen to it (“used to” cuz i hardly listen to radio anymore since i began listening to Korean music), they had Ryan Seacrest as one of the DJs. o.O”
idk if he’s still there or got kicked out already.
he’s the presenter for American Idol, if u dont know who the heck he is. =.=”

i’ve been wondering if this has been a flop because i haven’t heard about it here in the states. i mean, if i didn’t listen to kpop in the first place, i wouldn’t have known this song. i can’t wait to hear it on the radio thou!! ^^

 
stevewonder06's avatar

GO BoA! haha that’s my girl. =D
TRL is gone now though so i don’t know if she is gonna be on that but hopefully she’ll be on something popular soon.
