If there are days they can't fill get newspaper interviews, the full works.
They need to also make it clear to Radio 1 that they won't be getting the exclusive for the next single, that should go to Radio 2 (which hopefully it will be more a Radio 2 track) or one of the commercial stations.
They need to work out what TV promo she can do (The One Show etc), personally I think her management should book her on to SCD if they can get it, tell Cowell to get stuffed, Take Fat did the X-Factor and SCD, she needs to be all over the TV. Cowell needs to stick his ego up his arse and promote his acts regardless of his petty squabbles with the BBC.
They have to be so on it for this single release, I'm not going to be a happy bunny if they screw up again.”
You are aware that her management can't just tell TV shows to give her a slot right?
Everyone seems to be forgetting that she has never said this is her BIG single to launch the album, she's been treating it for what it is "her summer song, that's a bit different, and a bit happy" - I don't think it's ever been planned as this huge thing. Trouble has already been sent out to receive feedback, and it's got nothing but positivity and no doubt they'll be saving all the big promo for then.
She needed a song to say she was back, and Collide's done that - she's back in the charts, with little airplay and barely any promotion, so the demand is still there, and I reckon TV shows will be wanting her left right and centre come October/November
