Little help from an other forum!
Let's use a "historical example"
Today's update of the Pop chart for the number song is this one:
4 1 BRITNEY SPEARS Circus 9184 8641 543 59.659
The information should be read like this:
Last week position - This week position - Artist - Song - Number of spins for this week - Number of spins of last week - Change in the number of weekly spins - Audience impression
2)
what exactly "spins" mean? :-[
Spins refer to the number of times that a song is played on the radio. If you are currently hearing a song in the radio, that is a Spin that would count for the stats of your radio.
Usually, here we talk of the accumulated number of spins for the last seven days, so it's a weekly accumulated number.
3)
And where is the bullet?! ???
When the "change in the number of weekly spins" (see above) is positive, then we have a Bullet! In another words, the bullet is the number of new spins that a song gained over the past 7 days (in our example: 543 is the bullet).
There is a common mistake to call bullet as difference of spins, but that is not accurate. A song with a difference of -100 is simply "unbulleted". You have the idea that the bullet goes forward and not backwards, right? Same here
4)
What does Audience impression (AI) mean?!
An audience impression is a measure of how large an audience a song reaches, and is usually expressed in millions of people. For example, one play by a New York radio station might be rated as a certain number of million impressions, meaning that this is a reasonable if necessarily inexact estimate of the number of people who heard it.

I hope it's still the freeze
