After reading all the tour reviews and seeing the mediabase as well as how well TOML is doing, all I can is it could not have happened to a better guy. Join you in the Cookie hospital-

This Radio & Records chart has Cookie at #8 (!!) for AC but heÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s #9 on Mediabase.

Mediabase and BDS are competing monitoring companies. They sample many of the same radio stations, but some of the radio stations are also different between the two companies. R&R reports BDS numbers. R&R is owned by Billboard who also uses BDS numbers for its charts. BDS is part of the Nielsen company.

I’m not sure what the cut-off date for airplay is. I had thought it was the same as for sales (Sunday 11:59:59 pm), but comments I’ve read elsewhere seem to indicate that the date is later. Anybody know for sure?

if Leona is at 177 for Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹better in timeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢, why is Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹tattooÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ not showing? Is it not between 100 and 200?

The person who leaks the SoundScan numbers for digital downloads on Wednesday morning choses to only publish the top 50 and numbers he considers interesting in the top 51-200 (usually songs that have a big bump). “Tattoo” is falling down the chart while “Better in Time” is moving up so it’s a little more interesting, I guess. I just love getting any leaks at all.

When Ken Barnes over at Idol Chatter publishes the Idol numbers later today, we will get numbers for Tattoo if it is still in the top 200.

…’no air’ is still going strong
For not hitting the Hot 100 yet, ‘OSAAT’ is doing quite well sales wise…
