Laura JoplinThere is no question that the US market is the hardest to break into. I believe that the reason for this primarily has to do with the fact that the majority of the most powerful radio stations in the US are owned by Clear Channel.

If you are an artist that is not being pushed by Clear Channel radio in the US, your chances of becoming a household name are slim.

We can only live in terms of the definition, like the prisoner in the cage in which he cannot lie or stand or sit, hung up in justice to be viewed by the populace.
