Phil Wickham outlasts the power of Graves into Gardens to take over the top spot from Elevation Worship. Crowder and Zach Williams swap positions seeing Crowder break the Top 5. MercyMe cracks the Top 10 going 11 to 7* rounding out this week’s three Songs On The Move.
Other music making waves includes Jordan St. Cyr breaking into the Top 10 and For King & Country landing in the Top 15 with Amen. While Lauren Daigle has a steady hold on the number 13 spot this week, watch for an outlandish surge one week from now.
A nice move outside of the Top 15 from TobyMac landing at the 16th spot. Debuts this week include We The Kingdom and Cade Thompson.
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.
