Record Deletion

Just a quick one:

Why would a group or artist request for a track to be deleted? I'm referring to Gnarls Barkley and Wet Wet Wet..

Thanks

Publicity I would have thought, and declaring that a record is going to be deleted is a sure way of ensuring all remaining records get sold (whilst making it look like that’s not the goal).

And getting it out of the charts so they can release their next one.

They made a fair point too that they would rather the song be remembered, and not let people get bored of it.

people got bored of it 6 weeks ago though

See: James Blunt

(it's a clever move, and one that really should be taken up more often)

Can't say I did, but then I rarely listen to the radio.

Thanks for all the replies, it seems like quite a sensible thing to do for songs that people may get fed up of.

If they had any sense of shame, theyd delete it BEFORE it was released,.

Can't we just have James Blunt deleted?

I tried that once...I got within 2 feet before the bouncers pulled me down and took my ice axe off me

lol

That's a bit drastic, but when people are annoying as him, drastic measures are called for!
