charts discussion Radio callouts: Beautiful Things #1, Taste debuts nicely

[MANUELF]

Maybe the teen generation on pop feels Taylor is not cool for them to like while the adults on HAC dont care about being cool?

[Ger]

Makes sense to me Pop audience is so differnet from HAC, they don't have to follow the same similarities that have had in previous years. The industry has changed so much, and there's more interest on another sound which is clearly not what "main pop girls" are offering. There's a reason why Posty is the king of pop radio right now, and Pop audience adores him.

[Finkypop]

What makes Calm's callout disparity doubly hilarious is that the younger Hot AC demo's scores (ages 25-34) are fantastic, yet the moment you cross the threshold to pop's younger demos (ages 18-24) they are polar opposites. 

 

Also, pop callouts for older demos improved a bit for Calm this week, while younger demo scores just got slightly worse: 

 

Older Demos:

 

Pop Score: 64 (=)

Potential: 76 (+1)

Positive: 56.7 (+1.4)

Favorite: 25.3 (+1.9)

Negative: 30.9 (-2.1)

Net. Pos: 25.8 (+3.5)

Hvy Brn: 15.5 (-1.0)

 

vs.

 

Younger Demos:

Pop Score: 59 (=)

Potential: 71 (-1)

Positive: 52.3 (-0.3)

Favorite: 22.1 (-0.3)

Negative: 32.2 (+1.9)

Net. Pos: 20.1 (-2.3)

Hvy Brn: 13.8 (=)
 

So I suppose if the older demo keeps improving, the HAC/older-leaning pop stations can give Calm some help with its peak on pop. But this is just wild regardless. Mess

Katy getting the Hot AC hit she needed  happy for her

[Mediabase]

You Need To Calm Down again the most disliked on POP but the most liked on HOT AC.

 

Like, how?!

 

[Ger]

What a great start for Capaldi, hoping the song becomes a Top 10 hit, we'll see how Pop radio responds since they refuse slow/ballad songs to give them enough support despite the reception.

 

5SOS improving, I hope they can reach Top 10.  

 

Taylor is about to drop.  

[State of Grace.]

Taylor and Katy so doing well on HAC yet completely bombing on Pop

 

Welp guess thats the format we claim now  

[MANUELF]

The callouts just show that YNTCD was too deep for the youngsters 

[Kots]

Was NRO improving? It's above YNTCD

[jqnetto]

NRO still improving.

 

People will eventually see it for what it is.

[Kots]

NRO still above YNTCD and a thousand positions below in the chart  

[thatsmydemi]

Taylor is lucky she has such a huge and loyal fanbase. Otherwise, she would be struggling like Katy. 

[MANUELF]

Lucky? She cultivated them from the start

[Ger]

Strange that "Goodbyes" hasn't debuted here, yet. It really needs to appear next week on lock, it's at #8 and almost 2 months after release.

 

"Señorita" looks truly strong for the next months, gonna stay atop for a while, don't know if Lizzo is gonna be able to dethrone it at all, although "Truth Hurts" is the most loved song on radio, it has an important negative reaction along with it.

 

Looks over for Billie, radio is gonna drop it hard in the next days.

 

Disgusting how basic songs like IDC and IICHY are so high after all the plays they've received.

 

I would love if Pop pushes "Easier" to Top 10, at least it's improving!

 

Good debuts for Only Human and Beautiful People, although not excellent, they're close to a weak start. I don't know if these are gonna peak very high, especially for JoBros.

[FAN]

How is Señorita doing on HAC?

[KillingYourCareer]

I just can't digest how Senorita is #1 when Shawn has the most atrocious vocals in history

My God, GP... Unbelievable but IDC is gonna stay high for a while...

 

Great debut for Posty, he's actually a pop radio darling, but for some reason, Pop resists a little if his song is not pop-ish enough. 

 

Looks like Only Human could peak outside of Top 10, Sucker is gonna outlast of their singles at this rate.

 

Reception for Beautiful People has been lackluster, think it's gonna peak not too soon.
