6.22.15 - 6.28.15 Numbers Thread

Hope not!  Earlier discussion was that there were a lot of spins weekend before last and this is a "correction" for past lower spins this  weekend but I was hoping it would be picking up again by now.  As long as it does not drop in rank (and probably won't because other songs are dropping) we can just think of it as flat for now.  Hopefully if it makes the Billboard and something comes of that visit to a Cumulus station, it can start building spins more convincingly.

Could someone please give me a link for the Billboard charts?

We had German charts already from some radio station's site perhaps, don't remember exactly, and they probably have the info from official sources. But I saw this one which looks like an official one and may be better reference material, also history available.

Albums chart June 19, TOH #20 
www.offiziellecharts.de/charts/album

As far as I can tell only three foreign (ie non-German speaking countries) albums higher than Adam: Muse, Florence & The Machine and Rolling Stones. Also the volume must be significant (as much as any sales are nowadays) as Germany is a big market.

Singles chart June 19, GT #37
www.offiziellecharts.de/charts/single

It's the first charting week for GT, single released May 1. I should think promo with some radio play awakened buyers.
Also GT is in their Spotify list shown on right (you can scroll in the black Spotify box to see it).

To change type of chart or date there's a drop down menu at the top (chart on red, date on black).
I looked the history page from singles chart by clicking the name of the song and scrolling down saw two red rectangles to find out more. You might guess that 'titel' = titles ie songs and 'alben'=albums. Again from there by clicking the song name you'll get more info, even a graphical illustration of the chart run.

From the FAQ section:

"Sämtliche Verkäufe, die in einer Woche (Freitag bis Donnerstag) getätigt wurden, zählen für die Charts. Berücksichtigt wird der stationäre Handel, Online-Shops, Download-Portale und seit 2014 auch Streaming-Anbieter." It basicly says that sales from Friday to Thursday are included from stores, shops online, download portals and starting from 2014 also streaming.

Later they specify that downloads  are counted towards both singles and albums charts (I assume it means track sales and digital albums respectively); streams longer than 30 seconds are counted towards singles chart but not towards albums chart (ie no TEAs). No video-streams counted at all. Also that reporting starts on Friday for the period in question, press release with top 5 asap on their site, top 10 with predictions on Monday and charts freely available on Wednesday on their site.

Funny detail, their FB embedded on right shows their latest post on Queen having been about 600 weeks on singles chart and over 1000 weeks on albums chart. Radio Ga Ga #2 and Flash #3 were the best singles. Out of their albums "Made In Heaven", "Innuendo", "The Miracle" and "Greatest Hits" reached #1. Then they ask what's you favourite? and link to video of Flash. 

Guess it's #3 with 47k units sold!

Adam Lambert notches the chart’s second-highest bow, as his third album The Original High arrives at No. 3 with 47,000 units. The Original High is Lambert’s first album for Warner Bros. Records after departing RCA Records, where he logged his two earlier top 10s: His For Your Entertainment debut in 2009 (No. 3 debut and peak) and its follow-up, the No. 1-bowing Trespassing in 2012.
