Unhappy Customer
Are you thinking about promoting your record to secondary radio, such as the FMQB AC, HOT AC or CHR charts? We hired Mr. Farrish's company to do that in 2011 and have demanded a refund of the amount we paid.

The good news was, Farrish got the record to #23 on the FMQB AC chart. The bad news was, I concluded there was no airplay actually going on on any of the stations on my spin reports. I have evidence I believe will hold up in court that at least 40% of the spins reported in fact never happened, and probably a lot more. I concluded these fake spins were to simply game chart position. My evidence consists of, I actually booked travel and flew to the listening areas of 3 of the stations reporting "heavy rotation" on the spin reports to actually listen to the stations, and heard zero spins. When I insisted Mr. Farrish provide me with a radio station I could travel to and actually hear my record, he came up with excuses, which I took to mean "no, there are no radio stations actually playing your record." After further research of the reporting stations on the spin reports, I found at least 10 stations reporting "heavy rotation" were not the correct format. My record was Dance-pop, but most of these off-format stations were country, gospel, or other non-AC or CHR station, who never were going to play a dance-pop record in a million years, so those spin numbers were false. I didn't care about chart position, I wanted airplay.

I have received letter from Mr. Farrish's attorney threatening a lawsuit, claiming defamation regarding .com, and am currently consulting with my attorney on a response. The letter is very emphatic in pointing out the promotion agreement does not guarantee airplay. But it then goes on to claim defamation because I claim there was no airplay. You can't have it both ways, Bryan.
