What does R2 record of the week precisely entail?

Sorry to double post this question but does anyone know where I can find an archive of US Radio audience impressions? Kworb goes back to 2012 - I’d like to go back a few more years.

Bit of a random question - I want to find US ‘audience impressions’ of some past radio hits in the US. I can go back to 2012 on kworb’s archive - does anyone know another place that would go back a few more years?

They played (not great quality) of 'Dying Breed' on their Instagram live tonight. Looks like that is the second single and it is *big*.

But as has been said, in the US first #1 on Alt/Rock for 13 years (longest gap between #1's ever) and starting to be picked up by more HAC stations so not a flop at all. In the UK I'm assuming R2 will support it soon, probably a late impact date. Virgin Radio and XFM have been playing it to death.

What’s going on with The Killers - Caution?! No radio 1 or radio 2 support - unheard of for a lead single from them, especially as it’s stronger than some of the other singles that have been playlisted. Do people think it could be added nearer to the album release date? To singles these days still ship to radio with an ‘impact’ date they might be holding off until?

And it was their first single to be BPI certified since the D&A era!

Don't make work for yourself! I just realised that for me these are the go encyclopaedia for sales etc.and are amazing work and I often struggle to find them. Another option which is easier is could you make a version of your famous spreadsheet available to be shared on google drive or something? Then periodically update the version available to be shared. I for one would find that invaluable.

Hi vidcapper, I’m keen to look through past y/e t100 albums and singles. I’ve found a few sporadically, but can’t find them in the sales vault. As such important overarching reference points could you collate them all by year in one part of the forum?

Thank you near 2x Platinum then! I know you probably haven't tracked for a while, but any idea for their latest release Killers - Wonderful Wonderful? Thanks for all your work

Total sales for Killers - Direct Hits can’t possible be correct?

Any change for Killers - Wonderful Wonderful?

You are completely correct. This is why I said in a perfect world I wouldn't count them. But how is streaming songs through menus/playlists and not accessing them through the album at all showing an *album* is popular?

In a perfect world I wouldn't want to allow it as the US does, it's clearly not someone opting to part with their cash for an album. However, I find myself totally in favour of it today. In an age where your 'album sales' rocket because you have a track on a spotify playlist or similar, how can we possibly count things where someone is making no concsious choice to engage with an album (rather than a track), and then not count it when someone is paying £70 to see an artist and is voluntarily seeking out their new album. Secondly as an aside, and a chart forum is the wrong place to say this, it's right these acts have contemporary recognition. Bon Jovi had 375,000 americans part with $70+ yet would get less press than someone who got 20,000 people paying $10 for an album. Until we have a popular multi metric overall artist chart which includes tickets i'm all for these type of guys getting contemporary recognition for their huge ahcievments.

Haim - something to tell you Killers - wonderful wonderful please :) Thanks!

Well on it’s way to double platinum now! Shows clearly still a market, been a surprisingly big success.

Apologies if you're not able to help vidsanta, but a recent music week article mentioned "The Killers 2013 compilation 'Direct Hits' has passed half a million copies". Whilst a very reliable source, my last figures for it are hugely below that - from what you know could their figure be correct or do you suspect a mistake? thanks :)

Where is The Killers - Wonderful Wonderful please? :)

In the latest Q magazine The Killers confirm they will release all their Christmas singles to date and a new one to be released on a Christmas album this year. LP5 likely in early 2016.

Just researched and it's been re-pressed on vinyl out this week so it will be that. Why does it list it as new with no past on the charts though?

Why is The Killers - Hot Fuss suddenly at #66 listed as a new entry when it has a ton of odd weeks on chart before now?
