Moneyball National Chart

Chart Explain 3/21/2022

Crowder stays elevated but Jordan St. Cyr’s Weary Traveler has a great week and a 6 to 2 move to make it the first of three Songs on The Move this week.  Sanctus Real, who has already enjoyed a week on top of this chart, continues to fight to regain that placement, only two points short of Weary Traveler and one placement.

Katy Nichole has an impressive 11 to 4 move, getting the third slot for songs with the greatest momentum.  In the Top 15, pay attention to Jon Reddick, Cain and Riley, but also note that Jordan Feliz, despite a down arrow, is healthy and poised to keep pushing forward on this chart in the week’s to come.

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
