Is it that Mediabase inflates their audience, or are they just monitoring more stations than Nielsen BDS?

I think other than monitoring more stations than BDS, they weigh audience a bit more as well.

Back then the numbers for Nielsen and Mediabase were the same, sometimes just 1-3M of difference

The gap between SWM and Problem

[alexanderao]

Crossover Strength

The inner statistician in me has taken over, and I've come up with a new stat to measure how successful songs are at crossing over.

Calculating CS

I will use the all stations + recurrents charts to calculate CS.

Vocab Terms

Home Format - the format where a song is charting highest
In the event that a song is at the same position on two formats, there are 2 "tiebreakers" to determine the home format.

Tiebreakers

Tiebreaker 1: The format in which the position was reached first.
Example: Am I Wrong was #1 on both Pop and HAC on 12 July 2014, but HAC is considered its home format because it got to #1 there first.

Tiebreaker 2: The format in which the song has been charting on the longest.
Example: Rude reached #1 on both Pop and HAC on the same day, but HAC is considered its home format because it has charted there for 120 days, compared to 112 for pop.

In the event that these tiebreakers do not work in determining a home format (that is, if a song reached the same position on 2 formats on the same day and had spent an equal amount of days on both formats), the home format will be determined by the number of spins the song is away from the next position up.

2nd Format, 3rd Format, etc. - the "2nd" or "3rd" indicates that the song is charting 2nd highest or 3rd highest on that format.
Example: Maps is charting at #4 on HAC, #7 on pop, and #48 on AC. Its home format is HAC, its 2nd format is pop, and its 3rd format is AC.

+25 for every format a song is charting on other than its home format

+1 for every position away from #100 on its 2nd format (e.g. #55 = +45)
+1.2 for every position away from #100 on its 3rd format (e.g. #55 = +54)
+1.4 for every position away from #100 on its 4th format (e.g. #55 = +63)
+1.6 for every position away from #100 on its 5th format (e.g. #55 = +72)
This adds a reward for crossing over to every additional format. This way, songs that are top 5 on 3 formats are treated roughly equally with songs charting top 15 or 20 on 5 or 6.

EXAMPLE CALCULATION: Maps on 6 August 2014
Home format = HAC
+50 for charting on 2 non-home formats (3 total)
+93 for being at #7 on its 2nd format (pop)
+62.4 for being at #48 on its 3rd format (AC)
CS = 175.4

EXAMPLE CALCULATION 2: Stay With Me on 6 August 2014
Home format = pop
+125 for charting on 5 non-home formats (6 total)
+98 for being at #2 on its 2nd format (AC)
+116.4 for being at #3 on its 3rd format (HAC)
+135.8 for being at #3 on its 4th format (AAA)
+145.6 for being at #9 on its 5th format (Urban AC)
+160.2 for being at #11 on its 6th format (Rhythmic)
CS = 781

I would really appreciate any feedback on how to improve this (tweaking the formula to account for smaller/larger formats or bonuses for longevity are several of my ideas) and use it in our airplay discussion!

Because its not all her songs are radio fueled hits. Even Shower a song with way lower airplay is selling better than this.

Really makes you wonder if the GP is actually here for Demi or not. Like her album has yet to pass 400k with all these "hits"

Chandelier deserves to be top 10 on Radio.
