On this first day of May, JUST GIVE ME A REASON, P!nk/Nate Ruess, adds another 247 plays to its total to reach 21,142 -- and grow its lead at TPM Number One to 1225 (from 1022 yesterday) -- and it's far from done posting gains! Or from being our Total Popular Music top-tune-topper ... The Rihanna/Mikky Ekko SuperHit, back to runner-up yesterday, is likely to STAY there for a while -- but is no longer even a potential challenger to REASON ... Nor is Pitbull's FEEL THIS MOMENT, featuring the powerful vocalizations of Christina Aguilera, -16 today, holding in the fourth position ... The first real contender for the TPM Penthouse is the new number six -- Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS, +606 plays from a day ago, remains on target for the top, but today still needs almost 9000 total plays to reach P!nk and her fun.guy ... Stuck at seven by stronger competition, Demi Lovato's HEART ATTACK gets its pulse rate up again, +180 total plays across our components ... Who gave Macklemore and Ryan Lewis the Musicialis? Plus 350, they get it up again today with CAN'T HOLD US, featuring Ray Dalton, 11-9, one day after jumping into the Dozen 13-11 ... Next to enter? Icona Pop's I LOVE IT, +237, 14-13 today,
now only 240 plays behind the anchor song on Today's Twelve ... The Top 12 Songs of the Day -- EVERY DAY -- from TOTAL Popular Music -- The Original 21st Century Mass Appeal Hit Music Radio Format -- All the Hits for All the Listeners!

The P!nk and Nate Ruess duet JUST GIVE ME A REASON may be a record-setter at Number One, after getting to the TPM top position a week earlier "than was possible" and continuing to grow its TotalPlaysMonitored tally towards possible record highs. Today adding another 323 plays from Monday, it reaches 20,895 -- and sees its penthouse lead expand to 1022 ... But that advantage is no longer over former TPM Topper WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN/Bruno Mars, as STAY from Rihanna and Mikky Ekko returns to runner-up, 3-2, +88 total plays, while MAN is -160 ... After the First Trio, though, there's a BIG drop off for total plays tallies -- from 19,000+ to under 15,000 ... Yesterday it seemed sure that today Demi Lovato's HEART ATTACK would be up 7-6. But that doesn't happen! HEART ATTACK, +101, does pass SUIT AND TIE, but Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS, +470, passes both. MIRRORS reflects an 8-6 rise, HEART ATTACK holds at 7, SUIT AND TIE drops 6-8 ... As expected, THRIFT SHOP exits Today's Twelve, CAN'T HOLD US, +314, enters -- and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis don't miss a day! ... CAN'T HOLD US, however, jumps 13-11 -- and Taylor Swift's "22" is back at the bottom of The Twelve! ... The Daily Dozen, every day -- from TOTAL Popular Music - For Radio ... From Radio ...

A RED rank number indicates a projected airplay increase of 300 or more total plays.
The "Projections Monitor 30" is published Sunday nights, to be available for Monday mornings. Compiled using current airplay data and trending stats (although trending may change in the coming week), this listing from Mark Harris Broadcast Consulting is both a projection of what the Top 30 on the next week's Super Sixy might look like, and a programming guide for the coming week for radio stations airing the Total Popular Music radio format to be proactive rather than reactive in scheduling music rotations. Songs expected or projected to move to TPM Recurrents next week are removed from the Projections Monitor 30.
Our new TPM Number One SuperHit -- JUST GIVE ME A REASON from P!nk and Nate Ruess widens its lead at the top to 626 from a first day 172, as REASON adds 286 total plays from Sunday, while WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN posts a -168. And REASON doesn't have an immediate challenger in sight! ... P!nk and Nate will likely be able to play house -- pent-house -- together for a while ... Meanwhile, we play "It Sure Looks Like" ... Bruno Mars' latest TPM Topper was first ousted from the first position, and it sure looks like it may soon lose its grip on the second spot, as STAY from Rihanna and Mikky Ekko nears a return to runner-up ... It sure looks like Demi Lovato's HEART ATTACK is only a day away from a 7-6 advance. It adds 222 plays day-to-day, and is only 54 away from the sixth slot ... After skyrocketing 16-8 last week, it sure looks like Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS, +436 today, is set to rise at least a couple of positions this week -- including moving ahead of SUIT AND TIE ... And it sure looks like Taylor Swift's "22" gets out of the Daily Dozen basement today -- the day it gets it up 12-11 ... And it sure looks like this is THRIFT SHOP's last day among The Twelve -- to be replaced tomorrow by CAN'T HOLD US, +306 plays at #13, only 17 plays behind THRIFT SHOP today. Either way, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis can't lose! ... But it sure looks like CAN'T HOLD US could then pass Taylor's "22" this week ...
