WWW.TRACTIONTX.COM “Monitored Radio Airplay” May 16th, 2018 | PAGE 5 Most Added Adds Chart Recurrent Methodology JASON BOLAND & THE STRAGGLERS (FT. SUNNY SWEENEY) I Don't Deserve You 6 Proud Souls Entertainment JOSH GRIDER/Less and Less When does a song move to recurrent on the chart? It is one of the Josh Grider Music 3 more challenging issues we encountered in creating the CDX PROPHETS AND OUTLAWS/Sweet Soft Southern Smile TRACtion Texas chart system. Rather than relying on subjective 3 Prophets and Outlaws Music editorial decisions, we’ve chosen to automate this process using the JOSH WARD/All About Lovin' weekly chart data as a marker. Josh Ward Music 2 DREW FISH/Flood 2 We strive to avoid having singles past their prime create a logjam on Drew Fish Band Music the chart, because that stifles upward momentum for up-and-coming DERYL DODD (W/ MATT HILLYER)/Drinkin' Bout You singles. But we also try to ensure that singles “on the bubble” are not Little Red Truck Music 2 removed prematurely. As long-time chart watchers know, singles MARTY HEDDIN/Game Changer Nightlife Entertainment Group/Dreamlined Entertainment Group 2 often take a while to establish a solid base among early believers at MIKE AND THE MOONPIES/Beaches Of Biloxi radio before they truly find their legs. Due to any number of reasons, Mike And The Moonpies Music 2 the path to peak chart position rarely includes straight-line, week- JASON CASSIDY/Falling Too Fast over-week spin and/or chart position growth. JC Music 2 On a monitored airplay chart like CDX TRACtion Texas, the reality SHOTGUN RIDER/Me And A Memory 2 Vision Entertainment 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 Greatest Spin Gainers Increase position moves. JASON BOLAND & THE STRAGGLERS (FEAT. SUNNY SWEENEY) With this in mind, the CDX TRACtion Texas recurrent policy grades I Don't Deserve You 98 Proud Souls Entertainment each chart position on a curve, using an algorithm that considers the RANDALL KING/Tuggin' on My Heartstrings chart position and spin history for that song. Newly serviced singles Randall King Music 71 are allowed 20 weeks to chart before being removed from chart JOSH WARD/All About Lovin' consideration. Once a status change is actively being considered by 60 Josh Ward Music the algorithm, the cumulative amount of spin loss from the single’s JON WOLFE/Any Night In Texas 50 previous peak spin count is the trigger. The allowable spin loss varies Jon Wolfe Music as a percentage, depending on the chart position. JERROD MEDULLA/Unbroken Horses 40 Jerrod Medulla Music In addition to making sure that only singles with significant MIKE AND THE MOONPIES/Beaches Of Biloxi downward movement become recurrent, this methodology also Mike And The Moonpies Music 39 benefits slow-developing singles in several ways. For instance, KYLE PARK/Ain't Nobody Hotter Kyle Park Music 37 the allowable spin loss (as a percentage) is very generous at the ROBERT RAY/Drunk Enough lower reaches of the chart to accommodate the lower spin counts. Big R.I.G. Country, LLC 37 Additionally, if a single is at risk of being moved to recurrent status JASON CASSIDY/Falling Too Fast with two consecutive weeks of minor spin loss, it can still return to 35 JC Music positive spin growth the following week, which will reset the clock. KODY WEST/Shine Out Kody West Music 30
