charts discussion Radio callouts: Doja smashing

[EthaneFenty]

what does this mean?

[Ash12345]

What's the difference between Pop Score and Pop Potential? My impression has been that Pop Potential try to adjust for lower levels of familiarity.

It's the rank you get by testing random people (around 1.2k people) portions of songs and asking the reception of it. In theory, these results are used by radio programmers to adjust its playlist and satisfy the audience.

 

For example, "Please Me" has been getting bad callouts since the beginning and that absolutely killed it on radio, in which it had a fire start based on the big names of the song (Cardi B and Bruno). 

 

It's known that great callouts gives you the biggest chance for radio's longevity. Radio peak could depend on other factors.

So Pop Potential might be a better predictor of how successful a song will be while Pop Score is more like how many people like it now (and therefore songs with higher familiarity are at an advantage)?

This is relative. I feel Pop Score measures in a way every song gets a correctly weighted rank considering two things:

 

1. If familiarity is higher it's because the song is being played too much across the stations, there's a bigger chance of people getting tired of it (Bigger Familiarity is gonna give you probably bigger Heavy Burnout and even Negative reception, since you're sick of the song already).

 

2. Song is relatively new when the familiarity is lower, so the reception is more likely to be positive and with a lower Heavy Burnout number since it's "harmless", the song hasn't been exploded enough to hate it of being overplayed. So yeah, song has a low familiarity percentage, but it doesn't get affected too much by Heavy Burnout and a more likely Negative response as if it was an overplayed song.

Wow is very high on callouts but on the CHR it just only hit top 9 then top 10.Is radio payola eh?

I'm not sure exactly how each of the components are weighted, but it seems Pop Score is still very closely correlated to Familiarity though while Pop Potential is more like a predictor of future popularity/Pop Score.

You got me thinking and you were right. Feel like "Potential" is more an accurate source, it's the Pop Score but without being multiplied by familiarity. Pop Score is more like about the current popular songs, and Potential is more like the future sucess of the song.

The song is turning 7 months in 1 week, lmao  

 

Falling off of top 40 on POP, then re-entering and going top 20. 

Disappearing from the callouts charts and then re-entering again and doing actually amazing, lmao

It's not the best on callouts, but its reception is actually improving from last week. Especially when more people say it's one of their favorite songs and less saying they're sick of it.
