We had 21 adds last week in Pop and 19 adds this week. This is good considering last week was the adds date (when we should have seen a massive number of stations adding the song). This is good because it means that the rate of growth of the song should be increasing and it won't die anytime soon

This is all well and good, except look at the market rank distribution of the 19 adds we got:
001 to 020 - 0
021 to 040 - 5
041 to 060 - 2
061 to 080 - 2
081 to 100 - 3
101 to 120 - 3
121 to 140 - 3
141 to 160 - 1
It's great that we got 5 adds in the #21-#40 ranked stations.. but we got 0 adds in the 20 largest stations.. and I think only 2 last week.
That's why the airplay is growing but very very slowly.. because these stations that have added it don't add much AI.
I'm hoping next week brings the big adds. It took Katy's song 2 weeks to get a bunch of the big stations to add it.. but she was also doing REALLY well on iTunes so I'm not sure how much of a factor that played. We'll see next Monday!
