Monday's TPM Daily Dozen (Dec. 31, 2012)

Last week the Christmas Grinch stole airplay from currently growing hits. This week, radio's playing the top songs of 2012. That helps some titles, but hurts others. It's going to be another week before airplay stats return to full normalcy for gains and losses ... Still a very strong Number One, Bruno Mars' LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN adds to its total plays tally (up to 19,722), while runner-up HO HEY from The Lumineers stalls out, and LOCKED again has a lead of over 3,000 plays (3036). Just starting its fourth week at the top of our weekly Super Sixty, it appears a fifth week in the penthouse is in Bruno's future! (LOCKED will already be the first TPM Number One SuperHit of 2013 tomorrow!) ... Rihanna's DIAMONDS now definitely is trending a losing streak, as it's down 101 plays day-to-day. DIAMONDS, though, still has a substantial edge in the third position ... And current number four, Phillip Phillips' HOME also sees a minus (-34 plays from Sunday) ... Other still growing songs see stall outs or losses as Top 40 Radio steals some airplay time for hits from the year now ending. That includes P!nk's TRY, and even Taylor Swift's I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE. Meanwhile, Maroon 5's 2012 SuperHit ONE MORE NIGHT posts its smallest day-to-day loss (-12) since its declines began! ... While others stall or lose, Ed Sheeran's THE A TEAM has a modest but significant gain ...
