WWW.TRACTIONTX.COM “Monitored Radio Airplay” Feb 28th, 2018 | PAGE 4 Most Added Adds Chart Recurrent Methodology TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS/Something To Hold On To Thirty Tigers 11 AARON WATSON/Run Wild Horses BIG Label Records 8 When does a song move to recurrent on the chart? It is one of the WADE BOWEN/So Long 6th Street more challenging issues we encountered in creating the CDX Thirty Tigers 6 TRACtion Texas chart system. Rather than relying on subjective CASEY DONAHEW BAND/What Cowboys Do editorial decisions, we’ve chosen to automate this process using the 6 Almost Country Records weekly chart data as a marker. RECKLESS KELLY/Moment In The Sun 4 No Big Deal Records We strive to avoid having singles past their prime create a logjam on CASE HARDIN/Texas Rain 4 the chart, because that stifles upward momentum for up-and-coming Case Hardin Music singles. But we also try to ensure that singles “on the bubble” are not JAKE WORTHINGTON/Hell Of A Highway removed prematurely. As long-time chart watchers know, singles Jake Worthington Music 3 often take a while to establish a solid base among early believers at SUNDANCE HEAD/Everything To Lose Sundance Head Music 3 radio before they truly find their legs. Due to any number of reasons, CODY JOHNSON/Half A Song the path to peak chart position rarely includes straight-line, week- Cojo Music LLC 3 over-week spin and/or chart position growth. PARKER MCCOLLUM/Hell Of A Year Vision Entertainment 2 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. Greatest Spin Gainers Increase With this in mind, the CDX TRACtion Texas recurrent policy grades TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS/Something To Hold On To Thirty Tigers 183 each chart position on a curve, using an algorithm that considers the WADE BOWEN/So Long 6th Street chart position and spin history for that song. Newly serviced singles Thirty Tigers 109 are allowed 20 weeks to chart before being removed from chart AARON WATSON/Run Wild Horses consideration. Once a status change is actively being considered by 100 BIG Label Records the algorithm, the cumulative amount of spin loss from the single’s CODY JOHNSON/Half A Song 78 previous peak spin count is the trigger. The allowable spin loss varies Cojo Music LLC as a percentage, depending on the chart position. CASEY DONAHEW BAND/What Cowboys Do 52 Almost Country Records In addition to making sure that only singles with significant CASE HARDIN/Texas Rain downward movement become recurrent, this methodology also Case Hardin Music 39 benefits slow-developing singles in several ways. For instance, JB AND THE MOONSHINE BAND/When It Rains I Pour JB Music 36 the allowable spin loss (as a percentage) is very generous at the PARKER MCCOLLUM/Hell Of A Year lower reaches of the chart to accommodate the lower spin counts. Vision Entertainment 34 Additionally, if a single is at risk of being moved to recurrent status RECKLESS KELLY/Moment In The Sun with two consecutive weeks of minor spin loss, it can still return to 33 No Big Deal Records positive spin growth the following week, which will reset the clock.
