trafficking plans with that in mind. We remain focused on ensuring the ads we do serve are relevant and engaging through precision targeting.” As to how Pandora’s top 40 channels influence those that users create, Nenni says, “Listeners gravitate toward recurrents and power currents. ­Listener-created stations contain the most familiar hits from artists most closely related to the seed artist. Think about it as the perfect playlist for each station based on the wisdom of the crowd: thousands of fans deciding what artists and songs are most closely aligned with their favorite artist.”

MUSIC CHOICE: ‘A VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE’ The hits on TV used to mean “American Bandstand” and later, MTV or VH1. Now for 47 million monthly viewers (according to a 2013 Ipsos study), it means essentially radio on TV with Music Choice. Those viewers watch—or listen, if you prefer—on average up to 24 hours each week, with the average consumer at the screen and/or speaker nearly 3.5 hours per day.

THE CHRONICLER RICH APPEL [email protected] When Radio Said ‘Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’ To

Fifty years ago this week, things really got going. I’m not referring to just the Beatles or the British Invasion, but to top 40 itself. It’s not that the format wasn’t a winner before then. David MacFarland, co-author of “The Birth of Top 40 Radio,” about the successful Storz sta- tion chain (given the Questions Answered treatment on page 4) will attest to that. But the quick ascent to No. 1 of “I Want to Hold Your Hand”—the first Beatles single released by Capitol Records—followed by the release of singles on other labels (such as It’s always a güd time: Carly Rae Jepsen dropped in on CKIS (Kiss 92.5) Toronto morning hosts Roz and Mocha on Jan. 13 to talk about her new job as “She Loves You,” which included spokesperson for Burt’s Bees’ güd personal care line.

The Beatles changed that when top 40 played every song on their Capitol debut, Meet the Beatles, and then some. Dick Summer, then an air personality at WBZ, which was (as now) co-owned with WINS, recalls, “Murray had a direct line to the Beatles and got some of their prerelease stuff on tape, which he’d ship to us, much to the chagrin of the rest of the stations in the market.” Top 40’s profile was elevated with two, sometimes three competing sta- tions attaching themselves to the band, racing to be first with any new or found music by the group—and this was before most of the audience had seen it perform. Summer says, “It was a time radio concentrated on MURRAY THE K (center) AND THE BEATLES bringing in new listeners as opposed to not losing those they have. It was such a rush.” Summer, like many other DJs at that time, wasn’t convinced the Beatles would last. “My initial feel- ing was they were setting a youth lifestyle pattern that far overshadowed ‘Classic’ combination.

KOWH started out playing closer to 10 current hits. How and why did it get to QUESTIONS the 40 we know today? When Storz bought WTIX in New Orleans, his main competition was WDSU, which was playing the top 20. Answered He and Bud Armstrong decided to one-up WDSU by offering twice as many hits. That had the effect of quadrupling the number of David MacFarland tunes on network radio shows like “Your Hit Co-author, ‘The Birth of Top 40 Radio’ Parade” and made room for more variety.
