* Songs prior to 2007, the peaks are weekly peaks, not daily since daily info wasn't posted then, and Mediabase posted weekly charts in magazines. Therefore their actual daily peak could've been higher, for example a song could've had 210M on Friday, but by the weekly chart on Sunday, been down to 205M. (WBT's peak is the daily one, though)
If you find anymore songs, or a higher peak please post.
There are approx 318 million residence in the United States. How on earth could a song be heard by 305 million of them within a week even in the best case scenario?
The infants, the elderly, people who don't listen to radio etc etc. Those are huge numbers to take away from the total....
Katy Perry is the only artist with two songs in the top 10 with 220m+ audience impressions and the videos have almost 1 billion views each. The real definition of slay
Does anyone know why audience impressions have increased over time? Is it the growing US population? Do radios really just play the same few songs over and over?
This is honestly so pointless in the grand scheme of things as its all new songs, lol. Although I guess it does reveal how radio continues to overplay the same songs over and over, moreso now than ever before.

It's not unique audience. It's cumulative. Like 50 million people could've heard it 6 times on average that week.
Though I agree, Mediabase is kinda inflated.

I included what I could find. Obviously I'm not gonna go through 200 weeks 1 by 1, and I clearly commented, if you see something missing you can post.

You never heard a song more than once on radio in the same week?

yet she's not on albums list, tour list, power lists, critics lists, top moneymakers lists.
