Sales / 12

Airplay / 7500

On-demand / 150

 

 

A detailed description of the chart formula is below.

 

Consider this email a start to an open dialogue about this new Dance chart. We are eager to hear you comments and questions, and are relying on your professional insights for guidance.

 

We will be sending these test charts each week until launch, which we are targeting for mid-January.

 

The attached document contains the top 50 titles and also includes a column to the far right indicating ranks for a proposed sub-chart of EDM-only tracks.

 

 

If there is anyone else in your company who you feel should be receiving these weekly test charts, please forward their names to us and we will add them to our distribution list.

 

 

We look forward to discussing this exciting new chapter on the Dance charts with you!

 

 

DANCE/ELECTRONIC SONGS FORMULA:

 

(same as Hot 100 formula, except for addition of Club Play)

 

Download Sales and any available physical sales (divide by 12)

 

Airplay (divide HOH BDS format actual audience impressions for Chart Reporters by 7,500)

 

On-Demand/Tethered Streaming (divide by 150)

 

Radio Streaming (divide by 300)

 

 

The new formula is

 

Sales / 12

Airplay / 7500

Overall Streaming / 450

 

 

 

 

 

Harlem Shake

 

262000 / 12 =21,833

2,000,000 / 7,500 = 267

103,000,000 / 450 = 228,888

 

250,988 total points

 

Thrift Shop

 

412,000 / 12 =34,333

111,000,000 / 7500 = 14,800

10,100,000 / 450 = 22,444

 

71,577 total points

 

 

Billboard mentioned that Harlem Shake got 3.5 more points than Thrift Shop. Let's see if the math is correct.

 

250,988 / 71,577 = 3.50654

 

 

 

 

TYPICAL STREAMING ON A WEEKLY BASIS (let's assume that Harlem Shake didn't blow up last week)

Someone fact checked my "prediction" and the top 10 work out perfectly.

 

Quoting MusicTalker on ATRL

 

So, here's how points worked out. My scale is the same, I just multiplied everything by 12 so that download #s were the base. I prefer it that way.

 

1 Harlem Shake 262000 + 3000 + 2747000 = 3012000

2 Thrift Shop 412000 + 179000 + 269000 = 860000

3 Stay 306000 + 40000 + 104000 = 450000

4 Scream & Shout 158000 + 158000 + 128000 = 444000

5 I Knew You Were Trouble 149000 + 219000 + 75000 = 443000

6 Ho Hey

7 Locked Out of Heaven

8 When I Was Your Man 217000 + 88000 + 69000 = 374000

9 Suit & Tie 201000 + 117000 + 53000 = 371000

10 Started from the Bottom 168000 + 48000 + 147000 = 363000

 

Works perfectly! Will be fixing my thread soon. :wooparty:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new formula is

 

Sales / 12

Airplay / 7500

Overall Streaming / 450

 

 

Which mean

 

1 sales = 625 radio airplay = 37.5 stream

200,000 sales = 125 million AI = 7,500,000 stream

300,000 sales = 187.5 million AI = 11,250,000 stream

 

 

 

#10 in streaming last week was "I Knew You Were Trouble with 2.8 million.

 

2.8 million streams is the equivalent of 74,666 SALES or 46.7 million AI

i think radionand video sreams are overrated in the US, and this new rule means songs like Harlem Shake and Gangnam style would be number 1 for months... and that YouTube addition is ridiculous, everyone will start releasing viral/pornographic videos to get more views...

It's difficult to get pornographic videos on Youtube, but if Billboard start including other video streaming sites in the future I could see it happening.

 

I think people over-estimate Gangnam Style. It was getting nowhere near the views that Harlem Shake is. It would've got #1 obviously, but I reckon it would've been at #1 less than the 9 weeks that One More Night was, as the radio airplay was still holding it back hugely. And Gangnam Style is one of the biggest hits in years, so months at #1 wouldn't be unjustified imo.

i don't mean pornographic as in x-rated videos, i meant sex-themed videos such as Pitbull's or Rihanna's etc....
