This is so good, It's worth a save even if just for the primer on radio programming philosophy 101, but also is quite thought-provoking on what freely-available charts can offer us in terms of trends and some-things-to-watch. BONUS: listen to the audio version of this article which isn't just bland AI robot voice, but added personality from Mr. Bailey himself. I'll say it again: SO GOOD!!
Thank you tremendously for the compliments, Daniel! (And don't get me started on AI voiceovers... We humans are emotional creatures... and nothing conveys emotion more intimately then the real human voice.)
Streaming data is more info to help a PD make a better decision about what would work on their station. Top 40 has always been its most successful with a VARIETY of hits. Go where the music goes and know your market. Works here. Cool article by the way.
Matt, so glad you conducted this exercise. Some programmers may perhaps be a bit too focused on consumption data these days. Keep your enlightening articles coming!
