- 3. WHAT IS THE BILLBOARD HOT 100? “The music industry standard record chart in the United States for singles(across all genres) published weekly by Billboard magazine.” • Tracked year-round • Main requirement is that the single needs to available for purchase • Based on: • Album Sales • Downloads • Radio Airplay • Streaming • Social Interactions (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
- 4. HOW DOES BILLBOARD COLLECT DATA? Nielsen Music • Nielsen BDS • Nielsen Sound Scan The Billboard Formula: • Sales (35-45%) • Airplay (30-40%) • Streaming (20-30%) “Week-to-week, some songs show largely along those percentages, while others skew noticeably toward any of the chart’s three metrics.”
- 5. SALES Compiled from: • Retailers that represent more than 90% of the U.S. music retail market • Direct-to-customer transactions • Internet sales (both physical albums and downloads) • Limited sales at concerts Receipts not only work as invoices but also as ballots cast for a place on the charts
- 6. AIRPLAY Compiled from: • Radio stations in more than 140 markets across the U.S. • Based on audience impressions using the Arbitron Ratings System to determine the approximate number of audience impressions made for each play Stations with a larger market will have greater influence than ones with a smaller one And the time of a day a song is played has influence on a track’s performance
- 7. STREAMING Compiled from: • Streaming radio songs • On-demand songs • Videos from leading online music services

- 13. WHY IS THIS EVEN IMPORTANT? “Music speaks when words can’t express your feelings” • Lack of a linear correlation between the two variables • Linear best-Fit line not a good predictor of Total Weeks on chart • Good reflection of consumer’s current tastes • Not really useful for consumers (other than superficially) • Very useful for the music industry professional for product evaluation and sales
