“Monitored Radio Airplay”

Chart Recurrent Methodology

When does a song move to recurrent on the chart? It is one of the more challenging issues we encountered in creating the CDX TRACtion Texas chart system. Rather than relying on subjective editorial decisions, we’ve chosen to automate this process using the weekly chart data as a marker.

We strive to avoid having singles past their prime create a logjam on the chart, because that stifles upward momentum for up-and-coming singles. But we also try to ensure that singles “on the bubble” are not removed prematurely. As long-time chart watchers know, singles often take a while to establish a solid base among early believers at radio before they truly find their legs. Due to any number of reasons, the path to peak chart position rarely includes straight-line, week-over-week spin and/or chart position growth.

On a monitored airplay chart like CDX TRACtion Texas, the reality is that new singles bounce around a bit spin-wise and position-wise, particularly in the lower half of the chart. Even small spin increases and decreases can be magnified as fairly significant up-or-down chart position moves.

With this in mind, the CDX TRACtion Texas recurrent policy grades each chart position on a curve, using an algorithm that considers the chart position and spin history for that song. Newly serviced singles are allowed 20 weeks to chart before being removed from chart consideration. Once a status change is actively being considered by the algorithm, the cumulative amount of spin loss from the single’s previous peak spin count is the trigger. The allowable spin loss varies as a percentage, depending on the chart position.

In addition to making sure that only singles with significant downward movement become recurrent, this methodology also benefits slow-developing singles in several ways. For instance, the allowable spin loss (as a percentage) is very generous at the lower reaches of the chart to accommodate the lower spin counts. Additionally, if a single is at risk of being moved to recurrent status with two consecutive weeks of minor spin loss, it can still return to positive spin growth the following week, which will reset the clock.

TRACtion only recognizes detections on songs that have been “fingerprinted.” We do our best to obtain and fingerprint all new releases; songs serviced through CDX are encoded automatically. Send a song MP3 file with title, artist, label, and add date to

https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/tractiontx for fingerprinting.
