Not Just 25+ ... Total Popular Music is the NEW Mass Appeal Hit Music Radio Format

CHART CHAT
By Mark Harris

Friday Update:  September 3, 2010

If the new Super Sixty were published now, Taio Cruz's DYNAMITE would begin a second week at Number One. While I expect that to hold when the official new Sixty is published Sunday, it's not a definite. Enrique Iglesias continues advancing with I LIKE IT, and is a definite challenger.

However, if I LIKE IT is going to get at least a week as top-tune-topper, it needs to do it fast. Katy Perry's TEENAGE DREAM continues to rapidly move into contention, returning Katy to the top spot held for 10 weeks by CALIFORNIA GURLS.

If and when there's another change at Number One, as always, you'll see it happen first on our TPM Daily Dozen — providing updates everyday on the first 12 at Total Popular Music, the basis of programming The New Mass Appeal Hit Music Radio Format.

Still at least theoretically also in the running for the penthouse are Maroon 5's MISERY... Usher's DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE, featuring Pitbull ... Ke$ha's TAKE IT OFF ... and JUST THE WAY YOU ARE from Bruno Mars.

Push 'em back... That's in honor of the upcoming football season. But it applies to our Super list. Bruno Mars outgains Ke$ha, but she outgains John Mayer. And they all outgain Train. Check the movement, despite the colorful highlighters between numbers 10 and 13. 'Nuff said.

Two great songs enter the first third of the Sixty on our latest update. Neon Trees' ANIMAL and CLUB CAN'T HANDLE ME from Flo Rida and David Guetta, which I introduced first here at TPM before anyone was playing it. Told you then: this will put Flo Rida back up there where RIGHT ROUND took him last year.

Now, the "Top 20 Now" — showing the trending toward the next official Sixty — presented, as always on Fridays, as... "if the new official Super Sixty were published now..."

Next, a look at the "Hottest of the Hot" for gains in TotalPlaysMonitored, between 21 and 60, on our latest daily update to the Sixty.

It's somewhat rare that we have an "Inline" BIG BREAKER ... even rarer for an "Inline" CROSSOVER BREAKTHROUGH. To the best of my memory, we've never had both at the same time. Until now.

Six weeks ago I suggested we add Nelly's JUST A DREAM. The review panel gave me a thumbs down on that. Now, someone on the panel asks me why we haven't added it! WTF? So I ask the full panel. The overall vote now: unanimous - add it.
(I should have ignored them six weeks ago and followed my own instincts!)

This past week I couldn't find a feature spot for LIKE A G6 ... which I swear sounds to me on the recording like LIKE A CHEESE STEAK. Was going to feature it this coming week. But it breaks big first. You'll see it as that "Inline" BIG BREAKER below ... as we now get to the HOT stuff. As with our "Top 20 Now," it's presented as: "if the new Super Sixty were published now..."
(Yeah, there's a lot of "as" in that last section!)

We'll be back with an all-new   Chart Chat   Sunday afternoon, when the new Super Sixty goes online. We'll see you then!



August 29, 2010

The new weekly Super Sixty is now online, and we officially have a new Number One SuperHit.

After 10 record-setting weeks, CALIFORNIA GURLS exits Number One at Total Popular Music, and Taio Cruz's DYNAMITE begins a first full week as top-tune-topper for America's Most Popular Music.

If you follow our TPM Daily Dozen, you saw the change happen on daily updates, Thursday (Aug. 26). That should have been no surprise for those who saw Wednesday's Daily Dozen, which indicated GURLS' hold on #1 had shrunk to a mere 270 total plays.

This makes it two straight for Taio Cruz, who previously topped our Mass Appeal Hit Music chart with BREAK YOUR HEART, his debut American single. The British singer, songwriter and music producer has been on the music scene in the United Kingdom since 2008.

Katy Perry will be back at Number One soon, however. As fast as CALIFORNIA GURLS loses TotalPlaysMonitored, TEENAGE DREAM is gaining them.

However, in all fairness, also still in the running for the penthouse are I LIKE IT from Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull... Maroon 5's MISERY... and Usher's DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE, featuring Pitbull. And on the way to that elite category are Ke$ha's TAKE IT OFF and JUST THE WAY YOU ARE from Bruno Mars.

Now beginning to lose it are Mike Posner's COOLER THAN ME, Jason Derulo's RIDIN' SOLO, and Paramore's THE ONLY EXCEPTION. Paramore has begun showing day-to-day losses, although week-to-week still ekes out a gain of 64 TotalPlaysMonitored.

What doesn't seem fair is that before the losses began, EXCEPTION hit its highest peak after last week's Sixty was published, but loses most of the last burst of gains before the new weekly listing goes online.

Now, the "Lucky 13" — taking a close-up look at that uppermost zone of the new Sixty, as we do every Sunday, with exact gains or losses for each and every title.

That's information found nowhere else ... except on the inside of a certain pro athlete's jock strap. Good luck in getting to see it there!

3OH!3 is ready to follow MY FIRST KISS with another sure shot at the first third of our Super Sixty, as DOUBLE VISION has us seeing 3OH!3 and 3OH!3. (No Ke$ha this time!) We like it. So do the members of our TPM review panel. You will too. If you haven't heard it yet, give it a listen right now. It's this week's TPM SURESHOT.



*** TPM SURESHOT ***

DOUBLE VISION                  3OH!3



Our TPM BREAKER – a song that we're breaking at Total Popular Music is LOVE LOVE LOVE. Do I detect a trend? From DOUBLE VISION to triple LOVE. I sure hope this one is big. So does Hope. That who does LOVE times three.



TPM BREAKER

LOVE LOVE LOVE                     HOPE



Two songs enter the TPM Witty Protection Relocation Program™ moving to TPM Hit Music Recurrents. Making the move are Ke$ha's YOUR LOVE IS MY DRUG and Lady GaGa's ALEJANDRO. With the exit of the latest GaGa hit, this marks the first time in a v-e-r-y long time that our Super Sixty is totaly Lady G free. When will she return? What will her next hit be? Stay tuned to this Website!

We get email and sometimes we even answer it!

Wally from Dilbert asks, "Why do you date the new Super Sixty for the week beginning Monday when you publish it on Sunday?"

TPM-formatted stations switch to the new Sixty Monday mornings. However, since we are now publishing the Super listing Sunday afternoons — instead of Sunday nights as we originally did — we have been considering changing to Sunday's date. I would be interested in hearing your opinion about this.

"Curious in Chicago" sends this email: "Mark, you seem to have a great deal of wisdom. What do you think about the problem with young people sexting one another?"

Just tell them to cut it out! Tell them to do what we did when I was young – back in the 1960s. We'd just get together in person and get completely naked in front of each other and see who giggled the longest.

Several radio people have commented favorably on the new imaging on our site. Just want to repeat our request/offer: Any broadcast professionals who want to contribute some imaging — either elements we can use or full production within our nomenclature — we can use it. And we'll gladly publish your contact info on the site as both a credit and a free ad for as long as your material is in use.

Contact me at "Mark@TotalPopularMusic.com" if you're interested in a trade arrangement.

Yes, we are STILL going for a million! That's a million calls to radio stations everywhere in the U.S.A., telling them "I Want My TPM."

You can really win a Cool Million while you're at it! Have you checked this yet?

We want you to tell every radio station in the USA: "I Want My TPM."

Don't be shy.

Say it loud – and say it proud!

Don't "request."   Demand!!!

Demand the music you want — "not just popular music" BUT Total Popular Music!




I Want My TPM!




Please stare long and deeply into my Official TPM HypnoWheel®...

If the image does not appear, please refresh your browser.

Repeat after me:
"I will make 100 calls to 100 different radio stations."
"I will tell them I Want My TPM."


Now, when I say "Mass" ... you will awaken and feel refreshed as if you've just gotten a good night's sleep.
You will not remember reading this, but you will do what you just said!


Just realized, I haven't yet mentioned it here. We've been relaunching our online identification to emphasize that Total Popular Music is "The NEW Mass Appeal Hit Music Radio Format." There's been a lot of confusion as to who and what we are.

In mainly promoting "America's Most Popular Music," many thought we were a record company site or were in some way related to the music industry. We want to establish clearly to all that we are a RADIO site, as we promote our new format for radio. (I have been Radio for 48 years, since I was 15.)

Three years ago, a number of major market radio programmers laughed at my concept. Now, many stations are considering or implementing Mass Appeal formats. Thank you PPM! (TPM Loves PPM! And PPM Loves Total Popular Music!)

Look for our Friday Update to appear above this column, Friday afternoon — as always, featuring the "Top 20 Now" ... trending toward the next Sixty.

Don't forget, the TPM Daily Dozen updates the 12 biggest songs at Total Popular Music, including CWDS Total Airplay stats, every day!

We'll be back, right here, with an all-new   Chart Chat   next Sunday afternoon.

From our Radio Spots Copy that make you scratch your head when you get in the production studio:
"Stock up and save. Limit: one per customer."

And that's the way it is!




New TPMusic Charts are online Sunday afternoons in advance of their Monday chart date.

Friday afternoons, we publish a weekly update edition featuring the latest "Top 20 Now."

Updates and Breaking News are added to this page throughout the week as needed.


Archived past editions of CHART CHAT are available upon request.
