Miranda Lambert Wants a Radio Hit

Despite great album sales and reviews, nominations and awards and tons of exposure, Miranda Lambert says radio has been the missing link in her career.
"I would love to see what would happen to my career if I got radio play," she told Billboard recently. "I really want radio, but I understand why I don't always get it. I mean, I am controversial — I blow people's houses up and kill people in my songs. I realize that [I'm] not just your average girl singing a song, but people do feel that way, so they want to hear it."
While radio was more top of mind when she wrote songs for her last album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Miranda said she did her best to stay true to herself. She and producers Frank Liddell and Mike Wrucke went with an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" strategy. But though she felt her latest single, "Famous in a Small Town," had hit potential, it leveled off at No. 23 on the Billboard chart after a long, slow climb.
Still, Miranda told the Philadelphia Inquirer, "When I listen to country radio, I think, wow, my song would fit perfectly in this format. I don't understand why it's not on there."
