This is interesting. FGL's "Dirt" is up to #8 in VEVO (in US) with 1,709,911 plays. I did not see the song listed there yesterday. I still do not see Dirt on Spotify yet.
I think country is slowly making a return to mainstream looking back at well-selling country-airplay-driven songs over the past year (Wagon Wheel, the entire Luke Bryan and Fl/Ga Line eras, Brantley Gilbert, etc).
Locked Out Of Heaven/ I Knew You Were Trouble teas
Blurred Lines/Get Lucky teas
Blurred Lines/We Cant Stop teas
Timber/Counting Stars teas
Dark Horse/Drunk In Love teas

The reason to have a chart sorted by detections is if you want every station in the U.S. to have the same influence on the chart. This is fairer to smaller radio stations which would otherwise have a hard time influencing the chart. It really depends on what you think is the best measure of popularity: number of times a song is played or how many people hear the song. The reason to have a chart sorted by impressions is if you believe the latter and you want a more accurate chart.
While I see and respect the point of view as trying to keep the larger and smaller stations spins equal, there is just no way of disputing the reality that the detection from the larger market means as more than the small market. A station can play the same song 24/7, but if no one is listening, all of these spins mean nothing. Both measurements are important, but ranking the most heard songs each week is a step beyond ranking the most played songs of the week. Nevertheless, If I can find a way to fit spins into the chart (which will be hard given all of the other data I gather, and the songs would continue to be ranked by impressions), I will do so.
Can you guys help? Am putting together a list for the moderator Ace for a new rate 'Signature Soundtrack Singles'. The list is 60 songs. 20 from 90s, 20 from 00s, and 20 from 10s.
The question is I need to know songs not included on this list that peaked between #1 and #3 in the 90s (that are from Soundtracks).

The version of "A Whole New World" that went number one was the Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle version, I thought. Because that was the one released as a single, anyway.
