What We Want: Less Ashley

Apparently, Ashley Dupre’s 15 minutes of fame (in music, at least) is ticking.  From MTV:

Ashley Alexandra Dupre’s Song Loses Steam On Radio, Despite Eliot Spitzer Scandal

[...]

For an aspiring pop singer, there’s nothing better than having your song played on a top New York radio station like Z100.

There’s nothing worse, however, than having your song yanked out of rotation almost immediately.

[...]

But just as fast as Spitzer vacated his post, Dupré’s song has now been reeled in at Z100. As of Friday afternoon, the track – a pulsating dance number that sounds like it was scraped from the cutting-room floor of a J. Lo recording session – was being playing sparingly on Z100, but not nearly with as much regularity as it had the day before.

“Listener response has not been great, so we are pulling back and just offering [the song] to listeners via Z100.com,” on-air jock JJ told MTV News in an e-mail message Friday (March 14), though the track was still heard on the station later that day.

I tried listening to the song, but as it’s not my kind of music (and Z100 is a far cry from my kind of radio station), I couldn’t listen to more than the first 10 seconds.  I had to stop it right away.  I’d much rather have… candy!  Oooo, a segue!
