Article history

)

... that before the House Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight artists could get their songs on the radio with payola? Source: Payola referred specifically to a practice that was nearly as old as the industry itself: manufacturing a popular hit by paying for radio play.
- ALT1: ... that although the House Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight tried to end payola, it just became more sophisticated? Source: Insiders say the practice lives on — in a more sophisticated form... It changed over time so that it became much more sophisticated. At the end of the day, the labels still wanted hit records and the radio stations wanted cash.”

- Comment: 5x expanded

5x expanded by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 04:14, 19 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article was expanded 5× within a period of seven days from nomination. Gave it a heavy copy edit, correcting for tone and capitalization errors, chiefly wrt payola (not a proper noun). No close paraphrasing detected. ALT0 is contradicted by the article as the practice still persists. ALT1 is backed up by the source (I slightly tweaked the syntax), but the corresponding sentence in the article needs a <ref> after it. QPQ done. @Bruxton: DigitalIceAge (talk) 20:47, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DigitalIceAge: Thank you much for the review. I moved one ref to the hook in the article. Bruxton (talk) 21:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. Hook should be good to go now. DigitalIceAge (talk) 21:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
