So here are the updates I have from Mediabase as of 3p ET in order of Format size/importance
You're the Best Thing About Me:
Hot AC:
- Not currently charting
-6 stations added the song (tied for 4th most adds)
-15 stations paying it and its up 120 spins w/w
Alternative:
#40 up from #47
- #40 with 279 plays and 1.834 million impressions (listeners)
-17 stations added the song (#2 most added)
-50 stations paying it and its up 328 spins w/w (it doesn't match the number in the rank but I think that is a timing issue). This is the 3rd biggest play increase on the format
AC:
- Not currently charting in the top 50
Active Rock:
- Not currently charting but will likely chart in a few days
-2 New station added the song (#1 most added)
-11 stations paying it and its up 55 spins w/w
Triple A:
#23 up from #39
- #23 with 201 plays and 0.802 million impressions
-23 stations paying it and its up 228 spins w/w. This is the biggest play increase on the format
-14 stations added the song (#1 most added song)
-Its getting traction on Alternative and Triple A but lets add some context:
-The Miracle was # 1 on Triple A for 8 days and peaked at #25 on Alternative
-EBW peaked at # 6 on Triple A (shocking for me) and #23 on Alternative
-SFS peaked in the 20's on Triple A and didn't chart on Alternative that I could tell
-Invisible peaked at #1 on Triple A and #25 on Alternative
-I have Boots and Magnificent tracked somewhere…I just need to find them
-Hot AC is giving it a chance with 15 stations playing it but lets see where it heads from here.
-YouTube views are at ~1.4 million and seem to be slowing slightly but its a lyric video and not the official video…not sure that means much but it is what it is and if the video is done well, it might provide better context to the song and help it (Beck- Up all Night with You is a video I LOVE and it makes me really like the song)
-iTunes weighted rating is a 4.34 from 232 ratings (I personally gave it a 4/5). This doesn't tell us much as most of these ratings are likely from fans who purchased the single but I would think would rate it fairly (there may be bias there….not around these parts though
Its funny but a lot of SOI ratings were artificially brought down because people gave them 1 star reviews just because it was on their iPhone.
I don't think we will see a big "push" until next week as programers (as I have read in this forum) don't make decision on new adds until Friday's and well this came out only last Wednesday. So far, nothing special but its very earlier yet.
Cosmo Out!
