Honestly. The callouts were pretty good and for a while was holding up well on other metrics. This deserved Fad Oh Fad's radio run as Miss @Michael196 pointed out.

Haha, nothing to apologize, it's a pleasure. 

 

MEDIABASE 102 (since 101 is to understand the daily charts  )

 

Every week, Critical Mass Media performs a survey. These surveys ask random participants a few basic questions about certain songs (initially the current Top 30 on Mediabase). These questions include: "Are you familiar with the song? (Familiarity)," "Do you feel positively or negatively about the song?," (Positive/Negative Reaction), "Would you say this is one of your favorite songs?" (Favoritism) and "Are you tired of hearing this song?" (Heavy Burnout) among general questions about a person's age, gender, location, and the type of stations they tend to listen to and when they listen to them. 

 

Basically, these factors (Positive/Negative Reaction, Familiarity, etc) are percentages (%) of people who answered affirmatively in each case given a total sample (around 1000-1500 people currently consulted each week). Now that we understand the factors, let's go with the combined scores.

 

Net Positive: is the basic overall reaction to the song. Formula: NetPos = Positive - Negative. 

 

Potential: gives you the whole picture about the immediate future of the song (literally its potential on chart) on the radio. It is the result that takes into account all the factors except Familiarity (that would give us Net Positive, Favoritism and Heavy Burnout). I have not yet found the formula to calculate this score (but I could give it a try since it's #Quarantine). To me this is the most important score in terms of what's next for the song, if radio drops/plays more a song, becuase it gives you a complete reaction of the audience. 

 

Pop Score: tells you the current level of popularity and reception of the song. Formula: Potential * Familiarity. Songs with the biggest familiarity tend to chart the highest, meaning they are the most played.

 

Personal conclusion:

In terms of peaks, radio stations pay attention to Potential score, but combined with the buzz around that song in other platforms: iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, etc. That meant a song that's heavily demanded on the sales and streaming department with very good callouts (but not stellar callouts) could be gaining a lot on radio and gets exposure enough to top the Airplay chart. Nevertheless, in terms of longevity, callouts are what matters the most, 100%. A song which keep getting great callouts are gonna serve amazing longevity (ex. Love Lies, Circles, Eastside).

 

Also, songs must be at least 60% familiar to qualify and appear on the chart which is released every Friday.

Thank you

very surprised at Truth Hurts, I thought that song was really loud and in your face I didn’t think it would resonate with listeners like that

It’s a holiday today. Will we still get an update today??

Lady Gaga also debuted at the last place on HAC radio I- 

[Ger]

Bad callouts for Gaga, yeah, label better push it on the last minute to get the Top 10 peak, a NRO situation.

 

AY's callouts getting worse and worse fast, damn, people got tired of it fast, I'm very surprised, but now it's not showing the longevity it was promised. Expecting big decreases on the next days.

 

Literally, everything is going down on radio, if that would mean GP is listening more to radio and therefore it's getting more overplayed, they're getting more tired of all the songs.

 

It would be great if radio gives Billie a second wind, she would be perfect for next #1 on Pop. 

 

Camila should slow down very very much in the next days, she truly got worse this week, right now I see her peaking at #3, if anything.

 

"The Bones" callouts are truly... something. I guess it won't be the great crossover I thought it would be. It started so so well, but it has just got awfully worse with each week passing. 

 

BL looks safe for being a multi-week #1 Pop hit.

[Starkboy]

Gaga last but at least it's not as disastrous as Yummy, ME! etc.

[bbbrndn]

Well it's officially over for Stupid Love now.  Hopefully she can still sneak that #10 peak in the coming days.

Sure, there's always a chance to improve, but it's over since those callouts are waaaay farse from the current rank.

I hate how radio treats Billie, it has always happened, "bad guy" was an exception and basically they were forced to play it because of the massive demand and the excellent callouts. Doesn't surprise me that much since it's not the typical-radio songs artist.
