Hmmmm…
I was all excited a couple of weeks ago about Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa’s single, “Addicted to Romance.”
The song is from the movie, “She Came to Me,” directed by Rebecca Miller. The movie is an indie, and barely distributed by Vertical Releasing. It’s done no business. Still, one would think “Addicted to Romance” would have its own life.
One would be wrong.
“Addicted to Romance” is DOA. It’s sold 2,377 copies, according to Luminate. Around 600 came from streaming. Not a single radio station has played it. I’m not even sure Bruce’s Sirius XM channel has done anything with it. There are fewer than 1,000 views on YouTube.
Clearly, Sony, Bruce’s label, has done nothing with it. Of course the radio problem is because Bruce and Patti are not Justin and Ariana, and Top 40 isn’t going to play it. But classic rock stations? Adult contemporary?
Give it a spin, kids. This is very disrespectful.
