"Total Popular Music" is the PPM-friendly "Original 21st Century Mass Appeal Hit Music Radio Format" from Mark Harris Broadcast Consulting (since 2007) -- featuring "All the Hits for All the Listeners" ... For Radio/From Radio/By Radio -- able to deliver double digit shares from a 6 to 60 total demographic, while especially targeting any audience segment desired within that wide span.
Total Popular Music Charts -- including the weekly Super Sixty and the Daily Dozen -- are primarily intended for programming the Total Popular Music radio format. But they are also valuable tools for Adult Top 40 stations and Mainstream Top 40s with an Adult/Pop emphasis, assisting in programming Today's Hit Music for an adult audience. Our exclusive TPMusic Charts offer Adult Top 40/Hot AC program directors a tool for knowing when adults have accepted a CHR/Top 40 hit, as well as helping Top 40 Radio PDs identify Hot Adult hits that are crossing over to their format or are likely to do so.
