This could be a little help for you:
Adds
A station will officially “add” a song in Mediabase when they decide to start playing it regularly. Essentially, the more adds a song gets, the more spins it is likely to receive. In a typical week, a higher amount of adds means better spin updates due to the fact that more new stations are spinning the song. There are two types of adders, manual and auto.
-
Manual Adders are stations that generally add a song before playing it, or have only played it in a limited capacity (test spins, syndicated spins, etc.) prior to adding. Manual adds usually (but not always) are reported prior to a station adding the song to their regular playlist.
-
Auto-Adds occur when a station decides to report only songs that they have already begun to play regularly. In Top 40, a song must have 7 spins from an auto adder in the previous week in order to receive an auto-add. Note that not every station that has spun a song 7 times in the week previous will necessarily add it; some are manual adders that have yet to add because they are unsure about the song and/or don’t want to acknowledge they’ve actually been playing it.
