The Call is possibly not being played much because it's just too controversial. I haven't heard it, and with its message, I don't think I would want to. It sounds dreadfully hokey. As for "stalling", possibly it just wasn't going to become more popular. Unless it makes it to #1, every song stalls at some point.
But nobody cares if you like it or that you can criticize something without even hearing it. The question is whether the radio stations are self-censoring.

In my opinion, anybody that takes advertising makes those kinds of decisions.

I don't think they are censoring. No station will stop playing anything that makes money by increasing their market share and getting advertisers.

As for my opinions, I am entitled to mine, just as you are to yours.
