Why songs like Firework, TTWE,OG, are not in top40 on POP?

I assume songs go recurrent at some point just like they do on the Hot 100. They're purged.

They are simply sent to recurrents. I believe it's 20 weeks and falling below #15 now, that they are removed from being able to chart with current songs any longer. Some continued to be played at a normal rate, they just want to keep the chart as fresh as possible.

I think it's just because they don't want to play a Gaga ballad

I think it's more people don't want to hear one. It was gaining really low audience even when it still had good spins updates. That's a sign that people are turning it when a station spins it. It's only natural for radio to begin slowing their spins.

Hmm, I thought audience airplay was based on the average audience of what a radio station receives within a certain timeslot, or am I wrong? I figured it might be too much work to do polling to get specific audience figures for each individual song played.

I was under the impression it was a calculation based on the number of people possibly listening to the station. For example if z100 had "You And I" at #1 on their playlist, but has a relatively low impression than say songs #2-#5, it means people are tuning out when it's played. I guess it's low audience could be the result of bigger stations not playing it as often, but I'd also figure that means people aren't requesting/sticking around for the song.

Generally, I'm unsure that they would just refuse to play the song because it's a ballad. It's doing decently in sales, and has/had a lot of hype from the video & the VMAs.

I think it's not because it's a ballad, but because it's not pop friendly ballad, like for example Unfaithful or Hurt (random but those are the first that came to mind). It's more of an AC song and in my opinion it's very impressive that it went that far on pop.

and also the fact that it's still top 10 on itunes without being even top 20 on airplay proves that people do like the song

That wouldn't make sense since it's doing well digitally.

I agree. It is quite unconventional. Should keep it held up with HAC support.

I also think it's a case of small radio stations supporting Yoü and I while the bigger stations (KISS, z100) are snubbing it.

I feel where it is digitally is about right for where it is on radio.

Are you guys sure that radio stations have the ability to tell when people turn to something different? Idk. I'm pretty sure Gaga was just getting high spins with low AI because smaller stations were playing a lot, but since they are small not many people are hearing it.

Y&I isn't even top 20 on overall radio but it's #7 on iTunes. Idk, this is confusing.

Not really. There have been plenty of songs that have gone top 10 on iTunes but missed top 20 on overall airplay. It helps that "Y&I" had a video and recent performance on the VMAs that pushed it to top 10 and kept it there.

BRITNEY SPEARS - Criminal: 1.892 (+ 0.560)
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS -I Like How It Feels= 1.420 (+0.355)

They're coming.

Yeah, but as said above it had promotions to keep it there. I also take in the fact that those bottom Top 10 positions are selling 90-110k. Therefore I feel it's where it's supposed to be.

I think with Glee coming too, it might start becoming scary for the song to be lingering near the bottom.

I heard Super Bass 12 times on the radio today

I cannot at the radio still stanning for her

[Reed]

^ They need to drop that song once the 20th comes around. It should be all about Fly then, even though I will still keep Super Bass on repeat on my own time to time

They don't have the ability to know when someone tunes out of the stations frequency to turn to another station. Like you said, Y&I was getting low AI but high spins because the bigger stations were not playing it as much but the smaller stations were. As the smaller stations have less people listening to it, what it contributes to AI will not be as much as the bigger stations. OR Y&I could be one of those tracks that nigh time DJ's love to play / always play but the DJ's during the peak times (Morning/breakfast show & rush hour/after school and work shows) don't play that much.
