yikes radio is a tragedy

[Ger]

"Flowers" falling hard omg, imagine how HAPPY we are.  Imma need "Creepin'" to slow down though, let's get rid of EC first, Creepin' is a classic, it can stay in the Top 10 until december, idc.

 

Not gonna lie, but the latest shake up going on the Pop chart is refreshing, it was more than necessary, so happy to see multiple 150+ updates!

 

Rooting for Mr Kushner, I bet Pop is showing resitance because it's far from being a summer song.

Cruel Summer

[Holiest Dreams]

I seriously wonder if Cruel Summer will be her biggest radio hit atp  or at least her longest running #1 (on Pop, maybe overall too?)

it has everything going for it. people seem to really like it judging by callouts (diff metric but also Spotify recently revealing it's the most played track by TTH listeners)

[Fastlane]

"Flowers" will always be the longest female song to top US radio charts.

I Know It Won’t Work and Trustfall are going to be purged. Happy and/or Angel Part 1 could join them if they continue their pace of declines. It looks like Creepin will be safe for another week as the decline accelerated for Eyes Closed.

So Calm Down is the oldest song to be at #1 on Billboard Pop Charts on Mediabase, right?

Based on the Mediabase update this morning, Calm Down should return to #1 on this week’s chart, considering it’s ahead on both spins and audience.  CD will need to hold 2 more days (and that looks almost certain) to take back Mediabase.

Dua Dance the Night will be #7 at Pop tomorrow

"Eyes Closed" freefall starting, omg.

 

 

"Snooze" coming for Top 10, and FC as well. 

 

The fact we're about to have 2 cover songs inside the Top 10 is very telling to say the least. And 2 Country hits inside the Top 10 on Pop at the same time got to be a record. Wild year.

I found this article very insightful about the current state of Pop radio, some key aspects:

 

- Country's consumption has increased by a 20.3% year-over-year in the first 26 weeks of 2023, according to Luminate. By contrast, pop is up by 7.6%.

 

- According to Guy Zapoleon, a veteran radio consultant, terrestrial radio is currently very much in the doldrums phase, the worst duldrums of all times. During these periods, it's customary for Top 40 programmers to cast around for hits elsewhere, roping in singles from country or adult contemporary. In the past, this has led to increased airplay for country at Top 40 for periods lasting two to three years. 

 

- Terrestrial radio's role in the music ecosystem has shifted dramatically in the last decade in ways that might make the pop airwaves more hospitable to country. One key difference is that many young listeners have abandoned radio for streaming services and TikTok; a recent survery from the consultancy Jacobs Media Strategy found that the average age of radio listeners is around 55 years old.

 

- This bodes well for the cross-format popularity of country, which the radio industry historically views as a genre favored by more mature listeners. "Another reason is working so well at Top 40 right now is because we're dealing more with women 25+, and that's a really good fit for that genre" says Matt Mony, program director for WYOY in Jackson, Mississippi. 

 

- Some radio experts believe that the pop format has strayed from its roots in the past decade-ish as a platform that elevates all the hits, regardless of their origin. Larry Rosin, president of Edison Research says "The theoretical ideal of Top 40 is to play hits across the spectrum of music, a notion that has largely faded, as most Top 40s have been sticking to a very narrow lane.

 

- Top 40 stations are going through a brutal period of low ratings.

I hate to say it, but the Jason Aldean song should be monitored for radio play numbers for future weeks performance. How is it doing on radio already?
