The urban and rhythmic panels were much bigger then. That + being played at CHR resulted in huge audience impressions.

Mediabase's figures were inflated, but BDS reported large audience impressions.

I'm sure they were bigger but I read an article from just a few years ago stating that they were grossly overestimating how many people were actually listening to Rhythmic and Urban. And I clearly remember the audience numbers taking an abrupt drop, without a panel size change. Let me try to find it, it was from Radio & Records.

Yes there is big difference in AI per spin before and after when Nielsen BDS and later Mediabase changed methodology how AI was measured. It resulted in about 30-40% AI drop for Rhythmic and Urban stations.
That is reason why old AI peak records pretty much never will be beat.

Don't worry, it won't happen at all cuz Whitney has lower AI and it's impossible for her to outsell Katy

The whole reason Billboard started including digital downloads in the Hot 100 was because in 2004 every #1 was by a black artist, so the Republicans wanted to include digital downloads so rich people could impact the chart more (since, in general, poor people listen to radio for music and rich people actually buy the music because they can).

It kind of back-fired though, because Candy Shop and Hollaback Girl were the first two songs to reach 1 million downloads lol. Proving the Republicans wrong, since they're both definitely "urban" songs (even though Gwen Stefani is white).

There was actually white artists at #1 in 2004 though, because Lean Back had Fat Joe and Eminem, who are both white on it. But every #1 song had a black artist on it. And people say Fantasia's song was RnB/soul or whatever, but I don't really think it is. If a white person had won and sang that song, they probably would've said it was pop.

All that said though, I think there was more variety in 2004's charts than in 2011's, not to mention the music was better back then, even if it was RnB dominated (thanks to Usher, etc.).

I think it was amazing around 2007 time. A bit of everything.

It kind of back-fired though, because Candy Shop and Hollaback Girl were the first two songs to reach 1 million downloads lol. Proving the Republicans wrong, since they're both definitely "urban" songs (even though Gwen Stefani is white).

There was actually white artists at #1 in 2004 though, because Lean Back had Fat Joe and Eminem, who are both white on it. But every #1 song had a black artist on it. And people say Fantasia's song was RnB/soul or whatever, but I don't really think it is. If a white person had won and sang that song, they probably would've said it was pop.

All that said though, I think there was more variety in 2004's charts than in 2011's, not to mention the music was better back then, even if it was RnB dominated (thanks to Usher, etc.).

I think it was amazing around 2007 time. A bit of everything.

Republicans? Fantasia song "pop"?(it was even kinda gospel in some ways..) Fat Joe as white as a tooth? "Music better then"?

Wrong in so many ways..I'll pray for you..

All three Adele songs in top show increases, SLY even moves up to #8, passing "turn up the music"
