WWW.TRACTIONTX.COM “Monitored Radio Airplay” March 7th, 2018 | PAGE 5 Most Added Adds Chart Recurrent Methodology DALTON DOMINO (FEAT. JACK INGRAM)/Corners Dalton Domino Music 7 DREW FISH/Flood Drew Fish Band Music 7 When does a song move to recurrent on the chart? It is one of the CASEY DONAHEW BAND/What Cowboys Do more challenging issues we encountered in creating the CDX Almost Country Records 5 TRACtion Texas chart system. Rather than relying on subjective KYLE PARK/Ain't Nobody Hotter editorial decisions, we’ve chosen to automate this process using the 4 Kyle Park Music weekly chart data as a marker. WADE BOWEN/So Long 6th Street 3 Thirty Tigers We strive to avoid having singles past their prime create a logjam on JOSH ABBOTT BAND/Girl Down In Texas 3 the chart, because that stifles upward momentum for up-and-coming Pretty Damn Tough Records singles. But we also try to ensure that singles “on the bubble” are not BRANDON JENKINS/Be The Revival removed prematurely. As long-time chart watchers know, singles Red Dirt Legend Recordings 3 often take a while to establish a solid base among early believers at MIKE RYAN/The Rewrite Rock & Soul 3 radio before they truly find their legs. Due to any number of reasons, SUNDANCE HEAD/Everything To Lose the path to peak chart position rarely includes straight-line, week- Sundance Head Music 3 over-week spin and/or chart position growth. RANDALL KING/Tuggin' on My Heartstrings Randall King Music 3 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 CASEY DONAHEW BAND/What Cowboys Do Almost Country Records 97 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 95 are allowed 20 weeks to chart before being removed from chart DERYL DODD (W/ MATT HILLYER)/Drinkin' Bout You consideration. Once a status change is actively being considered by 68 Little Red Truck Music the algorithm, the cumulative amount of spin loss from the single’s JOSH ABBOTT BAND/Girl Down In Texas 59 previous peak spin count is the trigger. The allowable spin loss varies Pretty Damn Tough Records as a percentage, depending on the chart position. KYLE PARK/Ain't Nobody Hotter 58 Kyle Park Music In addition to making sure that only singles with significant AARON WATSON/Run Wild Horses downward movement become recurrent, this methodology also BIG Label Records 56 benefits slow-developing singles in several ways. For instance, BRANDON JENKINS/Be The Revival Red Dirt Legend Recordings 55 the allowable spin loss (as a percentage) is very generous at the DALTON DOMINO (FEAT. JACK INGRAM)/Corners lower reaches of the chart to accommodate the lower spin counts. Dalton Domino Music 48 Additionally, if a single is at risk of being moved to recurrent status TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS/Something To Hold On To with two consecutive weeks of minor spin loss, it can still return to 46 Thirty Tigers positive spin growth the following week, which will reset the clock. DREW FISH/Flood Drew Fish Band Music 46
