I only checked the Motown songs, and I didn’t see any spins for Danny, Megan, Scott, Lil, or Michael.

^^^^^Now see, that’s my top 5 right there!!!! Wow on Adam!

Adam’s TOMT is number 2 on rock?..Hmmmmm

It’s the number of spins, not ranking.

Welcome Back Kirstenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ we miss youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦how was the vacationà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ did you have funà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

It was fun and relaxing. Thanks for asking.

consumedbywords thanks for finding those spin listings. Can you tell me how you found them?

Wow! at Adam’s spins. That’s a lot of genres to get spins on. The Rock spins are interesting given that he wasn’t singing a Rock song. Hmm….

Yep, that’s the Top 5 (fingers crossed)!!

Were those spins of the live versions or the iTunes tracks?

Kirsten, you can get to it through the Mediabase Add Reports. When you click on the song on the results page, then click on the link for Show Stations Not Added. It will show you the spins on every monitored station.

GOOOO ADAM!!

Ugh. I blame RCA for sitting on their asses deciding it’s a good idea to release a new single 7 months after the last one.

Thanks so much!

Kirsten, quick question for you. Both the Davids have singles on the Now 30 compilation, “Crush” and “Light On”. With 35% reporting, HDD has 1 NOW 30 UME 80,652 VARIOUS ARTISTS thus far. So do those album sales with those 2 singles then add for Crush and Light On aggregated/overall sales then?

Thanks

Anybody know how Melinda Doolittle’s album or single are doing?

(Not Kirsten) but I’m pretty sure NOW album sales have nothing to do w/Crush or LO sales. NOW is it’s own thing.

I wouldn’t get too excited about Adam getting a few spins. Radio stations recap the show and he probably gets the most buzz though.

Hopefully Idol Chatter will have info on Melinda’s sales. But the days of getting sales numbers for albums off the BB200 are over.

SAsha nope they wont count for anything but the Now cd.

Got it. Makes sense. Since it’s a separate album, I guess it wouldn’t count for individual sales. Thanks

Yep. Cookie and Archie will get paid a small royalty for each NOW record sold (which will be subject to recoupment), but the SS numbers for Crush and LO will not be increased.

So, for many radio stations, Adam Lambert equals the whole show? And, Danny, Lil, Scott, Megan and Michael weren’t even there? Cool. ;-P

Big top 40 hits churn out thousands of spins a week. But good for Adam for leading the S8 pack on the radio with 10.

A couple of HAC Adds for CBTM. Is it starting to gain some momentum????? I hope so! Can’t wait for this Wednesday.

Big top 40 hits churn out thousands of spins a week.

This, I know. No one seriously is comparing Adam’s spins to actually produced and released singles, for goodness sakes. At least I’m not. Compared to his fellow contestants, but more importantly for me, his own spins from previous weeks, I’m excited for him. If I’m not mistaken, these are his first Top 40 spins. And, we’re talking AI chit — and yes, that’s how I view it. (Personally, I have to admit, I sort of hope never to hear AI chit on the radio, so being excited for the performer concerning spins, I guess, makes me a hypocrite!) LOL So, oddly enough, I think we’re on the same page.

BTW, is this the first year we’re hearing about spins? If not, did Archie and Cook get spins last year? Hits me as a new thang, but I’m expecting to learn it’s only new to me.

I have a question about this….. On wednesday mornings, our local dj’s always do a little recap of AI and sometimes they’ll play a clip of a song or two (some long clips, some really short). Could that be what these spins are? Or, are dj’s actually playing the whole song in the middle of a set list with no explanation?

I’m just curious because it seems so odd to me for a dj to just randomly throw an AI contestant’s performance into their radio show.

I hope Kelly doesn’t fall out of the top 10 yet. Taylor also…coz I want her to set a couple more records, heh.

That’s so awesome!! (since it’s a top 40)

Adam is looking good there.

wow at adam!!

Spenser, im not sure but sometimes if they play a clip of a song long enough, it will count for a spin. THey dont nessicarily need to play the whole song

Just new to you. It’s been happening for years. I even used to include it in the Mediabase reports (because we used to be able to see every single spin they monitored).

Frogcooke is right. If they play a long enough clip, it counts as a spin. But, sometimes AI contestant’s performances do have a longer shelf life. For the long months when Elliott’s deal was “super-secret” (wasn’t it announced in February during Season 6?), some of his AI performance songs (they only made one studio version available so most of these were songs ripped from the show) were played a couple times every week on the radio (I believe it was one of his local stations that did it). So, sometimes they will just play an AI contestant’s performance on the radio.

Cool! So, yes? no? re Cook, Archie?
