Welcome, eywflyer!  Very informative post. Have you been a lurker for long? Why do you think NCOE isn't doing as well as expected by some? (RCA, for example) Top 40 adds are behind also. Tomorrow would have to be a big day in order to tie the 7 week mark that BTIKM had. I am baffled. NCOE wasn't the song I would have chosen for single #2, but I think it is a good for Pop and deserves to be heard. :-/ Hello and thank you for the welcome mys*&@^#r, I've been lurking for a few months here, have been an Adam numbers follower pretty much since the Idol days. I really don't understand what the problem is with NCOE. To me it is a more natural fit for Top 40 than BTIKM, but is trailing in adds at this point. It's doing ok on HAC, but doesn't appear at this point to be on a path to significantly out-perform BTIKM. IDK, it's pretty discouraging. |

NCOE was the song preferred by radio pd's and this is the result? damn It's really heartbreaking...
Adam wants a radio hit so very badly & he gave them what they wanted. Back to voting on Q102's countdown and mmtop.

how do the BTIKM and NCOE HAC AI compare? also how does the Top 40 AI and chart placement compare (fewer data points, but it might be interesting to see) Unfortunately, I neglected to record AI for either HAC or Top 40 when I was tracking BTIKM chart performance back in the winter. My impression is that NCOE is doing better on HAC AI for its chart position than BTIKM was, but I don't know for sure. For Top 40, on 2/10/12 (closest date to the 7th add week I recorded from the Pulse board), BTIKM was #65 with 183 spins and a +44 move. The most recent data for NCOE from 6/2/12 has it at #67 with 119 spins and a +43 move. Again AI may be running ahead of BTIKM at this point but I don't know for sure. |

Hi eywflyer, like your post.  So what's your opinion, does RCA just have no pull at all with the large market stations anymore? And I don't get what the problem with NCOE is---seems very radio friendly, inoffensive, CHR dance. Does anyone know how NCOE is doing as compared with the IIHY trajectory? Is it way off? Glad Trespassing is holding in the top 20, but I am a little worried that with nothing to sustain sales it will slide right off the chart. |

Welcome eywflyer!! Glad you delurked. Really enjoyed your tour chart for GNT! Thank you stardust! I hope to do a similar chart for this tour, but with the demise of idolstages it may be hard to find the box office info. Kristen posts it sometimes on MJs but she doesn't seem to have as much of it as idolstages did. The boxscores website is a rather expensive subscription too. |

bullsfan, IIHY is an interesting case, it broke first on Top 40/CHR then crossed over to HAC. It had 30 adds on Top 40 (2-8-9-7-4) from 5/4/10 to 6/1/10 before getting its first HAC add on 6/7/10, and then did not get another HAC add until 7/6/10. Through 7 weeks of add dates, IIHY had 40 Top 40 adds and only the one HAC add. Its final add totals were 127 stations for Top 40 and 65 for HAC.
Relative to IIHY, NCOE is doing much better on HAC (but still not great), but much worse on Top 40. Weird because to me they seem like similar summer pop songs.
IDK what the problem is with NCOE and pop. RCA clearly doesn't have pull at least not where Adam is concerned, relatively disappointing adds last week and not a single one so far this week with a third of the Top 40 stations now reporting.
I agree that without significant NCOE airplay gains soon, Trespassing will continue to slide down the sales chart.
Sorry to be so doom & gloom, but it's hard to find much positive news in these numbers at the moment.

Why a sad face? 5 adds is good and 3 of them are new spinners. That means his spins will inccrease. :-/ Jazz, I just checked the Q add for BTIKM and it was a Tuesday, when they added. I am trying to stay positive but I am disappointed for the reasons everyone else has mentioned. And I am jealous of all the other people who are getting adds much more easily. For Adam, it can't just be the reality show contestant thing. If that was the case, how are Chris Rene, Stephano, and P2 getting adds and/or radio play? None of them has had previous hits like Adam has. I need a drink.  |

Makes me sick that Adam spent two months doing nothing but radio promo......why? :( |
