    NEWS RELEASE Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) to Track XM Satellite Radio Airplay 6/24/2003 Washington D.C., June 24, 2003 -- XM Satellite Radio, the nation's leading satellite radio service, announced that Nielsen Broadcasting Data Systems (BDS) will begin tracking music played on XM Satellite Radio starting next month. Record labels depend on Nielsen BDS for information about radio airplay. As the music industry's leading music- monitoring service, Nielsen BDS provides data that Billboard magazine uses to determine its airplay charts. XM Satellite Radio is the first and only satellite radio company to be monitored by Nielsen BDS. Nielsen BDS will utilize its extensive computer technology to identify songs played on ten XM Satellite Radio channels 24 hours a day, 365 days a year throughout the United States. XM playlists, as monitored by Nielsen BDS, will be available to Nielsen BDS subscribers and included in its national airplay charts. "BDS monitoring heralds a new stage in XM's growth and importance as our commitment to breaking artists can now be fully illustrated and documented to the music community," said Lee Abrams, chief programming officer for XM Satellite Radio. "The fact that BDS wants to track the songs played on XM is a great reflection of the impact that XM is making on radio listeners."

  • Liaisons Dangereuses Between Legal and Illegal Industries in Content Consumption: the Bridging Role of Information Brokers1
    Liaisons dangereuses between legal and illegal industries in content consumption: the bridging role of information brokers1 Paola Dubini, Francesco Saviozzi, Maurizio Borghi ASK Research Center – Bocconi University Milan, Italy 1 The authors wish to acknowledge the help of Joe Fleischer and Adam Toll from Big Champagne in providing information about the company and P2P filesharing data. 1 1. Introduction A fervent international debate is arousing around the issue of illegal distribution and consumption of contents (music, video, etc.), involving content producers, consumers, policy makers and other players of the so-called digital convergence (software developers, hardware producers, internet service providers, etc.). Generally being referred to as “piracy”, the phenomenon may in part be considered endogenous – some kind of natural imperfection (Shapiro, 1988) – to the rent exploitation possibilities generated by copyright on information goods. In the last decade, however, the advent of the digitization, the growth of the Internet, and the development of peer-to-peer platforms, has notably broadened the unauthorised distribution and consumption of contents, challenging the traditional industries structures. The paradoxical situation is that consumption of the so called information goods has increased dramatically, while the markets for content products have remained the same, when not collapsing. Faced with this phenomenon, most of the copyright owners react going to law, bringing actions against both suppliers and end-users of peer-to-peer platforms. Such litigations are currently made viable thanks to severe legislations and to technical tools able to collect evidences of illicit behaviours on peer-to-peer networks. We owe to the lobbying ability of traditional content providers to protect their business models the fact that the illegal distribution of content covers such a wide array of situations and that peer-to-peer dissemination and centralised distribution have been so far considered two distinct domains.

  • 'And I Swear...' – Profanity in Pop Music Lyrics on the American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 and the Effect on Youtube Popularity
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 'And I Swear...' – Profanity In Pop Music Lyrics On The American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 And The Effect On Youtube Popularity Martin James Moloney, Hanifah Mutiara Sylva Abstract: The Billboard Chart tracks the sales and popularity of popular music in the United States of America. Due to the cross-cultural appeal of the music, the Billboard Chart is the de facto international chart. A concern among cultural commentators was the prevalence of swearing in songs by artists who were previously regarded as suitable content for the youth or ‗pop‘ market. The researchers studied songs on the Billboard Top 10 from 2009 to 2018 and checked each song for profanities. The study found that ‗pop‘, a sub-genre of ‗popular music‘ did contain profanities; the most profane genre, ‗Hip-hop/Rap‘ accounted for 76% of swearing over the ten-year period. A relationship between amount of profanity and YouTube popularity was moderately supported. The researchers recommended adapting a scale used by the British television regulator Ofcom to measure the gravity of swearing per song. Index Terms: Billboard charts, popularity, profanity, Soundcloud, swearing, YouTube. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION Ipsos Mori [7] the regulator of British television said that profane language fell into two main categories: (a) general 1.1 The American Billboard Charts and ‘Hot 100’ swear words and those with clear links to body parts, sexual The Billboard Chart of popular music was first created in 1936 references, and offensive gestures; and (b) specifically to archive the details of sales of phonographic records in the discriminatory language, whether directed at older people, United States [1].

  • Sofia Reyes- Biography
    Sofia Reyes- Biography At just 23-years-old, Sofia Reyes is a successful singer and songwriter who has already been nominated twice to the Latin American Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, Premios Juventud and Latin GRAMMYs among many other. Most of her hits like "Muévelo", "Sólo yo" and "1,2,3", have occupied the first places of the Billboard charts and her latest single (which featured Jason Derulo and De La Ghetto) has nearly half a billion views on YouTube and certifications around the world. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, at age 16, she decided to move to Los Angeles with her independent label, Bakab, and start her solo career after leaving the girl band where she started. Sofia shared her original music and covers through YouTube and the popularity of these videos caught the attention of Warner Music Latina, which in partnership with D'Leon Records (Prince Royce’s record label) and Bakab, would boost her career. Sofia’s first single, "Muévelo"- alongside Wisin- automatically charted at Billboard's Top 20 Latin Pop Songs, where it stayed for 5 months. The song also entered Spotify’s Global 200 Chart, along with artists such as Ed Sheeran and Meghan Trainor, being Sofia the only Mexican on that list. Sofia recorded the track "Sólo yo" with Prince Royce in 2016, a song that led her to become the first female singer in five years to reach the first position in Billboard’s Latin Pop chart (2016), after Jennifer Lopez. She also received platinum and gold certifications in markets such as Spain, Argentina and Mexico due to its high sales.

  • An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan
    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 8-21-2019 An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts Megan Marie Carlan Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Music Business Commons An Examination of Contemporary Christian Music Success Within Mainstream Rock and Country Billboard Charts By Megan Marie Carlan Arts and Entertainment Management Dr. Theresa Lant Lubin School of Business August 21, 2019 Abstract Ranging from inspirational songs void of theological language to worship music imbued with overt religious messages, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has a long history of being ill-defined. Due to the genre’s flexible nature, many Christian artists over the years have used vague imagery and secular lyrical content to find favor among mainstream outlets. This study examined the most recent ten-year period of CCM to determine its ability to cross over into the mainstream music scene, while also assessing the impact of its lyrical content and genre on the probability of reaching such mainstream success. For the years 2008-2018, Billboard data were collected for every Christian song on the Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs, or Hot Country Songs in order to detect any noticeable trend regarding the rise or fall of CCM; each song then was coded for theological language. No obvious trend emerged regarding the mainstream success of CCM as a whole, but the genre of Rock was found to possess the greatest degree of mainstream success. Rock also, however, was shown to have a very low tolerance for theological language, contrasted with the high tolerance of Country.
