Farhan Zaidi is a Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT) and University of California-Berkeley graduate who started in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a data analyst with the Oakland Athletics before being promoted to Direc- tor of Baseball Operations and then Assistant General Man- ager. His success with the A’s led to Zaidi being appointed General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in November 2014. He is no exception, as more and more teams are hiring data analysts (or data scientists) to work alongside their vid- eo performance analysts and these data analysts are now be- ginning to occupy senior positions in sports organizations. Sports analytics is creating a real buzz in elite team sports these days. Industry conferences on the subject are becoming a regular event. Further, books, journals, websites, and uni- versity courses on sports analytics are now common. But what is sports analytics?

    page 1 Friday, October 30, 2009 Book Review by David M. Ross Futurehit.DNA How The Digital Revolution Is Changing Top 10 Songs by Jay Frank Published by Futurehit, Inc. ©2009 Jay Frank, currently SVP of Music Strategy for CMT has sat in a number of musical gatekeeper chairs and always been somewhat outspoken, especially about the interaction between music and technology. So industry observers should not feign shock to see him don the scribe cap and set about inking his thoughts. Jay Frank Considering the author's digital expertise, it is not surprising that the book has its own website with complete details about where to purchase, social networking accounts and even a free first chapter. http://www.futurehitdna.com. The premise of Futurehit.dna is that by carefully monitoring consumer behavior and the technology surrounding the music, one can improve the odds that new music will be discovered and be successful. "Musicians are generally looking for a balance between art and commerce," Frank writes, "and for that this book becomes an important guide." However, he wisely warns, "Implementing these points will do you no good unless the underlying talent and quality is already there." Those looking for a quick, easy read and a fast solution are likely to be disappointed. The author's zeal for thorough explanations creates an ambitious study rich in historical details. Frank's intro begins with songs sung around a ©2009, MusicRow Communications, LLC—ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [email protected] page 2 Friday, October 30, 2009 campfire (no technology) and works his way through a Versions Of Hit Songs." "Most people care more about the century of innovation and the changes it imposed upon song than who is doing the singing," Frank writes.

  • Issue 546 Power Gold 2017 the Year-To-Year Rate of Change in Country Radio’S Top 100 Power Gold List Appears to Have Slowed a Bit
    April 17, 2017, Issue 546 Power Gold 2017 The year-to-year rate of change in Country radio’s Top 100 Power Gold list appears to have slowed a bit. In fact, the 2017 PG 100 is more similar to the prior year’s list than any two-year comparison in the last six years. There are only 14 titles on this year’s list that weren’t on the 2016 Top 100. That compares to 36 new titles in 2016, 31 in ‘15, 39 in ‘14, 22 in ‘13 and 33 in ‘12. For a smaller influx of new Power Gold, you have to go back to 2011 when 13 songs that weren’t on the 2010 list appeared in the Top 100. The year prior, 2010 saw 10 new tracks hit the Top 100 for the first time. The 2017 Top 100 Power Gold is culled from Mediabase 24/7 and the Country Aircheck/Mediabase reporting panel for the week of March 12-18 is on page 9, but here’s the Top 10. 1.
