Song’s lyrics had denied it radio airplay

1. Does "the song’s lyrics had denied it radio airplay for twenty-seven years" mean "this song was not played on the radio for twenty-seven years because of its lyrics"?


2. Does "making the lower reaches of the charts" mean "but it did not become a hit"?


Context:
Until that point, the song’s lyrics had denied it radio airplay for twenty-seven years – it was a cult but not a commercial hit. As a major feature of Kaye’s prime-time commercial, the song was resurrected and released as a CD single, making the lower reaches of the charts.
