Can you please explain what the numbers mean? thanks
US AIRPLAY UPDATE
MICHAEL JACKSON - Hold My Hand (Duet With Akon): 13.874 (+ 1.525)
13.874 means approximately 13,874,000 people have heard the track on the radio in the last 7 days. This is called the Audience Impression (AI). This is a rolling total and so only includes data from the last week. All previous data is ignored.
+1.525 means that the amount listeners has increased by 1,525,000 people since the last update.
Deano, I just checked the sites.
Radio1 hold the playlist meeting on Wednesday afternoon and publish the new list later the same day. The playlist is effective from the next Friday.(i.e the playlist published on Wednesday 22nd November is valid from Friday 24th to Friday 3rd December).
Having looked at Radio 2s site it appears that the playlist decided on Wednesday 22nd November is effective from Monday 27th November until Monday 6th December.
Anyway, the new playlist will be decided and published this afternoon on Radio 1s website. Usually it is up on Radio2s website on a wednesday too, but not always. It's under a tab called 'see next week's playlist' or something like that. There's no tab there right now, but check this evening or tomorrow morning and it will be.
