Moneyball National Chart

Chart Explain 1/17/2022

In the Top 5, there is a lot of momentum maintained, even with Maverick City, who only loses a spot due to a tie in scoring, but Wickham, We Are Messengers and Tasha Layton carry over end of the year momentum to start 2022 powerfully.

This week’s Songs On The Move starts with Crowder moving 10 to 5, Ryan Ellis moving 14 to 11 and NeedToBreath making a re-entry at 14.

Danny Gokey’s moves are notable, going from 20 to 13.

The Moneyball Chart Methodology

Instead of one chart that focuses specifically on airplay, the Moneyball Chart combines airplay with sales, streaming and research for the purpose of finding the Momentum in Music, which is most times the differentiator on songs that stall and the ones that continue to chug along.

The Moneyball Chart is created based on a points system, where each column of information can add a maximum of up to 10 points for that column, with the points from each column adding to the overall totals.

The Moneyball Chart is an indicator of songs that are working; songs that are bearing fruit and therefore the Moneyball Chart, may have drastic differences from the charts you have become accustom to, revealing some artists and titles in a higher position much earlier than they show up on the airplay charts, and also, often songs that have moved to recurrent on most of our playlists continue to show fruit indicating that we may have retired those titles too early.

The Moneyball system works Nationally, or locally, so if you are interested in seeing what this information looks like specific to your station, specific to your market and your competitive situation, let us create a custom sample for your station specifically.  Email Rob Wagman StraightPathMandE@gmail.com
