Guys, if you hear this song on your local stations, call and request it. We were sort of given the advice from mj herself on her blog last night along with some good advice from fans posting there to save our energy on the official debut single from the album since coronation songs typically fade away as quickly as they appear. That isn't unusual though. We were told that This Is My Now went away pretty quickly after it was released and plus we learned with other fanbases of other idols that getting slammed with too many calls and especially calls outside of your local listening area are 2 things that can tick DJ's off in a hurry since their bosses, the program directors, ultimately make the decisions in what is played and what isn't. Of course we are hoping that David can break the typical trend with this song so in his words, we'll see. biggrin.gif

I know they played it at least ONCE on Tower 98.3 here in Toledo, Ohio. Which surprised the hell out of me, but though I'd let you know it has expanded beyond the horizons of MO and his hometown areas :]

It looks like some of the songs on the Mediabase chart that were moved to the recurrent side have pushed the song up 3 on the top 40 side this afternoon in terms of rank. smile.gif

Someone refresh my memory. This Is My Now only got to #15 and went down from there as well?

I'm a little paranoid about this whole thing because there wasn't a commercial single and there was a limited amount of time for the single to chart. In the two days it's dropped from the no.1 position on ITunes it's wavered between 2 and 3 (and is the no. 2 ringtone) so it's obviously still selling and will be around for a bit longer before dropping out of the charts.

I'm worried about 2 things here:

1) I'm still paranoid that TPTB really wanted Archie, despite the amount of money that Cook is making for them. The press about Cook being the upset victor and Archie coming on so many interviews worries me a little. It worries me a bit that the spins are going down and this wasn't a traditional release and makes me feel that RCA isn't really promoting this as much as they can. OTOH, I have not heard any coronation single on the radio since Ruben. Is it usual to make these things low-key? Has there been a lot of radio play for the other coronation singles since the days of Clay/Ruben? The press release says there wasn't an "official launch" - does this refer to the fact that it was really only released digitally? Is that something to be worried about?

2) Someone posted that they though the media was downplaying the Billboards records story. I've found a lot of articles about it, quite a few of them dismissive, but this is making news. (It's more an anti AI spin than anything, but it is mind-boggling. I read somewhere that Cook was responsible for 15% of all DLs this week. Insane). A few of those articles point out that the RIAA might not like this, and I wonder, for those in the know: could there be so much resentment that this might have hurt Cook's radio play in the past few days, and might it hurt him in the future? If the recording industry is in such dire straits right now, wouldn't they be encouraged by someone who looks to be clearly bankable? (Even the dismissive articles point out that Cook will probably sell lots of records based on the evidence so far). Is it even possible they just won't accept payola for the singles, or that RCA wouldn't want to push someone who made AI nearly $1 mil in a single week?

So is the fact that the spins are going down a sign of resistance and/or lack of enthusiasm? The fact that there's already a CD announcement on Amazon seems to run counter to that, but I don't know how these things work. Money is money, right? The only other evidence is an irrational attachment to Archie. (And I have nothing agaisnt Archie, but it's clear he has less commercial potential right now).

Well, I don't buy all the hype about them wanting Archie to win over Cook in the end although we do know he was TCO in the beginning. The fact is, these winning singles don't do well. They never have. I don't think media is down playing the Billboard story at all. The articles about it have been everywhere! I don't buy that the RIAA doesn't like that. To me that is just downright stupid and some of it is probably fans of Archie's that are still bitter and resentful over Cook winning and some in the media that are angry he didn't win. There are a lot of them out there. Sorry, but you can't dispute the Billboard chart numbers. The winning song does not dictate an artist's future. Jordin's song did much worse than this one did. I certainly don't believe the RIAA is upset over this. The fact is some folks aren't very enthusiastic over these cheesy songs. Some of the fans weren't even crazy over it to be honest. I like it though. This song will be nothing like what will be on the rest of his album. Jordin's winning single tanked ever worse than this but Tattoo took off like a bullet within the first few weeks it was released.

The fact he is #2 on Amazon and the impressive download #'s from week 1 (which was really only 4 days worth), cannot be disputed.

What do you mean by a commercial single? This is always the way it has been done. They release a winning single and then 3-4 months later comes the first release from the CD. Jordin's winning song didn't get tons of promotion either. They never release "commercial" type singles with these winning songs. That formula will never change. The download #'s between Cook and Archie sort of speak for themselves.

This is a typical release these days. Last time they had out hard copy actual CD's of the singles was Season 4 Inside Your Heaven. As for the articles being dismissed I don't know what your are reading but David is everywhere and people are talking about it. I really wouldn't waste time worrying that TPTB really wanted Archie. Frankly I think TPTB were hoping for David from about Parton week on. They needed him just as much as he needed them. His nearly 1 million downloads have brought some credibility back to a show that was teetering on the edge of becoming The Gong Show.
li'lsparrow
OK, thanks for answering my questions.

First of all, what I meant by a commercial single was a physical copy that could be bought at a record store. I know when the Clay and Ruben fan wars started people physically went down to the store and bought oodles of copies to make a point (yes, including me, although I only bought one copy). I didn't watch AI in seasons 3, 4, or 5 so I don't know how it worked then but it seems relatively useless to put out a single that way these days.

Also the other thing that confused me was the lack of "official launch" notated on the RCA press release. I was curious why there was not an "official launch" but that was answered somewhere else. Sorry.

And no, I'm not really worried about TPTB wanting Archie so much anymore. The mainstream media tends to ask about the surprise win a lot and it's easy to take things out of context but the majority of outlets that were paying attention to the show were pulling for Cook weeks ago. Only having watched 2 seasons of the show (2 and 6) before this I can't really say from experience but as far back as "Hello" the possibility of hit records was being discussed and it came up repeatedly, and from what I've been able to tell those kinds of statements aren't thrown around that much. Besides, record execs love nothing as much as someone who can make them lots of money.

Is it asking too much to ask for an explanation of these numbers... for instance, is a "spin" a single time it is played on a radio station? Or, is there a link out there that explains what you are reporting... a "Mediabase for Dummies?"

Well, the only way I can explain it is this way. All of the stations playing the song in these different markets aren't Mediabase monitored. The top 40 and HAC here where I live aren't' as is the case in other cities as well. Here is the definition from Wilki:

QUOTE
Spin (radio)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In radio broadcasting, a spin is a single play of a song. The term is also used as a unit to measure (or induce) popularity, typically in spins per week. This measure is also known as rotation, and is most heavily used at Top 40 radio stations, some non-traditional radio formats, and others with descendant radio formats. A song in light rotation is typically aired 5–15 times per week, while a medium rotation tune goes over the airwaves 10-25 times per week. Favored songs in heavy rotation start at 20 or more spins each week, perhaps reaching to 50 and beyond. This results in several spins each day, resulting in a high level of repetition for listeners who tune in for more than just a short amount of time. Most new songs end up in the heavy rotation category, but as the song gets older it is eventually downgraded from heavy to medium, then to light, then to retirement.

Why are you "worried"? First - I voted for cook - but all of you need to be aware of something - anyone who even remotely believes that this success Cook has acheived even remotely approaches that of what occurred with the beatles in 1964 is seriousely kidding themselves. First beware, less than 1 week later and Cook is nearly off and rapidly declining in the charts. That was NOT the case in 64'. The Beatles acheived near complete dominance in 64 with the entire top 5 an 9 others in the charts - many stayed for weeks. The Beatles dominated nearly WORLD WIDE. Billboards new chart process with electronic downloading can be very misleading - and will continue to be so - after all Miley nearly broke a record with 8 on the chart at one time. Folks, these are records that have stood for nearly 50 years. Never mind comparing cook with the Beatles, lets talk about Elvis, Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Elton John, Oasis and others - those acts never approached the Beatles both in sales and charting. Do your really Believe both Miley and Cook just breezed by all of them - and he's that big or that good. His success is near strictly the result of weekly in your face TV and the fact that 100 million kids have IPODS and Iphones and sit at home - buying singles - or heat of the moment downloading, many of which they never heard before....and many of which they may play just one time. What happened in 64' and what happend "for a few days" last week - are two different animals - JUST FYI............

Pam08,

Thanks for giving me more information. If I'm reading correctly, the term "spin" has two meanings. 1) A single time the song is played on a single station, and 2) a unit to measure popularity, typically in spins per week. This measure is also known as rotation.

In the following example, does the 480 refer to the total number of times TOML was played that 24 hour period on Mediabase followed Top 40 stations; or in the past 7 days ?

No problem. See, there is a lot about the business I don't know so I'm learning like everyone else. smile.gif That 4 digit number is what is called an audience impression number.

Here is what that means:

QUOTE
Audience Impression
Audience impressions are the amount of people a song reaches each day counted by the millions. The same station will have a higher audience impression in the morning which is considered primetime than at night when only a few people listen

He has broke yet another record

..."American Idol" champ David Cook's "The Time of My Life" falls 3-9. Only three of the 11 record-breaking debuts from last week remain on the Hot 100 by Cook, but "The Time of My Life" manages a record-breaking debut at No. 31 on the Adult Top 40. It's the highest opening for a career-starting single by a solo male there.

He is doing amazingly well. As at Sunday evening he sold nearly 400,000 of TOML in one and a half weeks. Plus the extras sold on his other two remaining charters. He has sold close to 1.3 million in one and a half weeks. Please don´t negate what he has achieved.

Why are you "worried"? First - I voted for cook - but all of you need to be aware of something - anyone who even remotely believes that this success Cook has acheived even remotely approaches that of what occurred with the beatles in 1964 is seriousely kidding themselves. First beware, less than 1 week later and Cook is nearly off and rapidly declining in the charts. That was NOT the case in 64'. The Beatles acheived near complete dominance in 64 with the entire top 5 an 9 others in the charts - many stayed for weeks. The Beatles dominated nearly WORLD WIDE. Billboards new chart process with electronic downloading can be very misleading - and will continue to be so - after all Miley nearly broke a record with 8 on the chart at one time. Folks, these are records that have stood for nearly 50 years. Never mind comparing cook with the Beatles, lets talk about Elvis, Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Elton John, Oasis and others - those acts never approached the Beatles both in sales and charting. Do your really Believe both Miley and Cook just breezed by all of them - and he's that big or that good. His success is near strictly the result of weekly in your face TV and the fact that 100 million kids have IPODS and Iphones and sit at home - buying singles - or heat of the moment downloading, many of which they never heard before....and many of which they may play just one time. What happened in 64' and what happend "for a few days" last week - are two different animals - JUST FYI............


The world has change since 64, Jim, particularly the music industry. The numbers are what they are and can't be argued. What you are attempting to argue is worth as an artist. Which is when you boil it down, personal opinion. And FYI, I am neither a teen nor a mindless downloading robot but you feel free to demean a fan base in an attempt to prove your point.

"The numbers are what they are and can't be argued." Precisely Starrlight. Thats why I am right and you are wrong. Realistically for a few days the Cookie raked in major numbers, not surprising as with 32 million viewers for many many weeks - Idol is some promotion, but as you mentioned, the numbers are what they are...that is very similar to other Idols who have not really been to successfull, Big number, rapid decline. New charts are out....and all but three of 11 are GONE. That is a rapid decline, but as you said, they are what they are. Typical smart Idol promotion and typical large nmbers associated with online downloads..a record nearly broken every day. Move over Elton, Mariah, Beatles, Stones, Who ..MILEY is here...LOL....it even sounds funny, dont you think so starrlight?? Once again, I like him, actually - voted for him. By the way...no demeaning here, you seem a little defensive though, take care.

No, I am not a lover of idol, I am a fan of the contestants. It's a shame that you see fit to cut people down for their opinions but after all this is a free country.

I could be wrong here but Im pretty sure that all of the songs except for the 3 that are still on the charts got taken off Itunes so I think we all expected them to fall of the charts since they are not being sold anymore

Word nerd, I will not post this thread again, but you need to go back and reread all of this..who is cutting down anyone...you kinda are. You are the one who cant stand an opinion.....I took this quote from music week online

"After bagging 11 new entries last week, latest American Idol David Cook sees all his songs suffer major sales dips. Consequently, only three remain in the Hot 100, with the biggest, Time Of My Life, diving 3-9. All three of runner-up David Archuleta’s new entries of a week ago have also disappeared. With the Davids freeing up chart space, there are five songs which fell off the chart last week returning to resume their Hot 100 careers alongside seven genuine debuts".......

Now reread it and notice the tone.... "five songs which fell off the chart last week returning to resume their Hot 100 careers alongside seven genuine debuts". Notice the word "genuine" they used. Cookie is great.....I just commented on an odd comparison or two someone had made to the Beatles. Its not about opinion, its about fact....what is happening today and briefly last week, is not comparable, even remotely, to what happened in 64' with the Beatles.

Now go ahead and rant...and you dont need to worry about me responding to you again. Stay patient.....Idol 2009 is really just around the corner.

PS......OMG.....Starlight you have been a member of this board for appx. 58 days and post an average of more than 1 post for every single hour each day for 58 days or 1,544 posts................you must be very productive.
