Saturday's TPM Hit Music Daily Dozen (June 1, 2013)

Chart Chat Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS continues to widen its lead at TPM Number One -- today to 673 total plays from a 381 yesterday and 99 on its first day at the top. MIRRORS appears to be settling in at the TPM Penthouse for at least a couple of weeks after becoming JT's first Total Popular Music #1 SuperHit in more than five years ... The other upper zone moved expected last week but delayed gets its today, as CAN'T HOLD US, +101, up 4-3, officially goes further than the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis THRIFT SHOP did for mass appeal radio hit music ... The Top TPM Gainer in Today's Twelve is the Selena Gomez COME AND GET IT, +225 but still in the eighth position -- the only song in the Saturday Dozen to add more than 200 plays day-to-day ... Sixth-ranked I LOVE IT/Icona Pop with Charli XCX sees the second biggest airplay gain of the day, +156 ... Third greatest gain is +145 for Florida Georgia Line's CRUISE (with or without Nelly) ... Despite falling to 7682 total plays, Maroon 5's DAYLIGHT still clings to the bottom rung of the DD. The next nearest song -- #thatPOWER -- is only at 7384 ... The Top 12 Songs of the Day -- EVERY DAY -- from TOTAL Popular Music -- "The Original 21st Century Mass Appeal Hit Music Radio Format" (since 2007) -- "All the Hits for All the Listeners!"

Wednesday's TPM Hit Music Daily Dozen (May 29, 2013)

Chart Chat This could be the final day at TPM Number One for JUST GIVE ME A REASON/P!nk with Nate Ruess, today -236 plays -- while Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS posts a +132 and the differential shrinks to just 157 total plays -- as normalcy returns to Hit Music airplay after the three--day holiday weekend variations. Barring something totally unforeseeable now, MIRRORS will take over the TPM Top tomorrow (better late than not at all!) ... Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are back on track for a 4-3 rise for CAN'T HOLD US (with Ray Dalton), today +112, and just 491 away from that move behind a declining STAY (Rihanna/Mikky Ekko), -132 ... Today's Top TPM Gainer in the Dozen, I LOVE IT, finds Icona Pop with Charli XCX with a +223 ... Also back to notable gains are Selena Gomez's COME AND GET IT, +144, and Emeli Sande's NEXT TO ME, +134 ... And adding 100 plays from yesterday, Florida Georgia Line's CRUISE (with or without Nelly) returns to gaining momentum ...

Tuesday's TPM Hit Music Daily Dozen (May 28, 2013)

Chart Chat Houston, this is TPMission Control, we have a problem. The capsule carrying Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS to Planet Penthouse is leaking. We've seen this problem before. A song destined to be Number One at both of our Total Popular Music chart-influencing components gets to the top of one before the other -- and then while still growing at the second begins some shrinkage at the first. So does this mean MIRRORS isn't going to the TPM Top after all? No, but it's at the mercy of losses for current topper JUST GIVE ME A REASON. Today, P!nk/Nate Ruess see a -102 while Justin posts a measly +1. The differential is down again -- from 628 to 525. And this time we're sure that by the end of the week we WILL have a new Number One SuperHit ... Do we see a similar situation in the expected switcheroo between numbers three and four? Hmmm... looks like it ... Otherwise, it's slow and low for day-to-day changes, coming out of the three-day holiday weekend -- with some airplay lost due to special programming ... Today's Top TPM Gainer adds only 85. That's I LOVE IT/Icona Pop with Chari XCX. Three songs post larger losses than that +85 ...

Monday's TPM Hit Music Daily Dozen (May 27, 2013)

Chart Chat There are no positional moves today, with day-to-day airplay changes mostly minimal -- thanks to the holiday weekend. Total plays gains for growing titles are all under 100 -- most considerably smaller than that. However, several declining songs see larger losses. So let's look at today's Biggest Losers. The biggest loss goes to Bruno Mars' WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN, on its way to make room for Bruno's TREASURE, posting a -236 ... The second largest loss, -208, is posted by the soon-to-exit Number One, JUST GIVE ME A REASON, P!nk with Nate Ruess -- which seems resigned to yielding the top spot to Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS. But Justin's SuperHit today only gets a +3. Still the differential shrinks from 839 to 628 ... The third biggest loser is Maroon 5's DAYLIGHT, -193 plays from Sunday. Their LOVE SOMEBODY is on the way toward the Dozen, but has some time to go to get there ... The Top TPM Gainer today is Florida Georgia Line's CRUISE (with or without Nelly), just +80 ...

Ranked by Projected TotalPlaysMonitored at the Components of TotalPopularMusic
Uitlizing Our Exclusive TotalsProjectionsMonitor

This listing reflects projected total monitored airplay at the CHR-Top40 and Hot Adult components of Total Popular Music.

A  RED rank number indicates a projected airplay increase of 300 or more total plays.

Not an "indicator chart" nor a "building chart" -- and definitely not a chart "representing the collective opinion of the publication's editorial board in ranking the current potency of commercial recordings as competitive radio programming attractions" -- the TPM Projections Monitor is scientifically compiled utilizing our exclusive TotalsProjectionsMonitor™ software -- incorporating current airplay and trending data.

The "Projections Monitor 30" is published Sunday nights, to be available for Monday mornings. This listing from Mark Harris Broadcast Consulting is both a projection of what the Top 30 on the next week's Super Sixty 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 the next week are removed from the Projections Monitor 30.

For more information about the Projections Monitor, Contact Mark Harris at MHBC.


TPM ChartNotes: A week ago we were feeling rather smug about our Projections Monitor published May 12, projecting May 19. The first nine songs were listed in the exact order confirmed by the May 19th Super Sixty. This week we are less than thrilled about the May 19 Projections Monitor projecting May 26. It should be noted that we continue to warn that the trending used by our TotalsProjectionsMonitor software is always subject to change. And change it did! Also, we also emphasize that the PM30 offers "a projection of what the Top 30 on the next week's Super Sixty might look like" -- and, of course, there are no guarantees. Additionally, for the PM30's second purpose -- "a programming guide for the coming week for radio stations" -- we still value the Projections Monitor 30 from May 19. For example, while "Mirrors" has been delayed in ranking Number One a projected, it is still on its way to our top position (likely within days, as will first be seen on our Daily Dozen listings); and despite its actual May 26 ranking as runner-up based on TotalPlaysMonitored at the Components of TotalPopularMusic, is currently being programmed by TPM with a higher rotation rate than actual #1-ranked "Just Give Me A Reason" -- which, according to research, is beginning to show a significant "burn factor."

Despite the ultimate inaccuracy of the May 19 projections in the first four positions, we currently plan to continue publishing the Projections Monitor 30 through the remainder of its scheduled "test run" -- after which a final decision will be made as to whether to actually make it a permanent published offering of Total Popular Music and Mark Harris Broadcast Consulting. A possibility currently under consideration is to make the PM30 an "independent" chart with its own week-to-week chart history, as BDSRadio does with its published "indicator charts" (as seen on our TotalPopularMusic.com Component Charts). As always, your thoughts and comments on all of this are welcomed.

Also, it should be noted, we have returned to our original formula of considering only current trending at the time of compilation of the new PM30. That methology, used for more than a year in unpublished charts for internal use, proved to have a higher rate of success in offering accurate projections. Since we recently began publishing the Projections Monitor, we have experimented with various combinations of that formula combined (to one degree or another) with past week trending. To us, this proves once again the validity of the (somewhat trite) saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." (Nevertheless, we still emphasize that any trending pattern is subject to change!)
