The highlight of today’s otherwise dull WSJ article about the failure of Chinese Democracy is this bit, which expands on how the album will be marketed to strip joints: “While “Chinese Democracy” has failed to catch on with radio stations, Mr. Rose’s record company is betting on a heavy rotation of another sort to boost sales. Two cuts from the album were included in StripJoints, a CD compilation packaged with Exotic Dancer magazine that went out to 2,500 sexually oriented clubs.” Apparently, space on this disc (which I cannot find much information about) can be purchased, so it may be flawed as far as its ability to accurately reflect the stripper-pole soundtrack. Is there a chart for that sort of airplay? Can we start one, even if Nickelback will likely end up as its Beatles? As someone who doesn’t hang out in adult entertainment venues, I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of info here. [WSJ]

You have strip clubs to thank for 80% of post-2000 hip-hop.
So…
As someone who does hang out in them, periodically, I doubt that strategy’s going to work, since the DJs and/or the dancers pick their own songs. It’s not like Applebee’s. The songs might translate well into strip clubs, since Chinese Democracy seems to get the rock vibe while also being sorta danceable, although I don’t think that would get many people to run out and buy the CD. (Or are they just counting on royalties?)
If Applebee’s had strippers I might go there.
I would love to see a strip club chart. Maura and I have talked about this before. Any strip club DJs wanna do an AnonIMous interview with me?
Nice to know that while Newsweek and US News gets smaller, there will always be an “Exotic Dancer” Magazine…
Strip Clubs are the Gay Clubs of the 21st Century.
