Taylor Hicks - The Distance

HDD Final Numbers Are In

2009-03-17T21:40:00.003-05:00

HDD has posted their final numbers for first week sales estimates for albums dropping 3/10/2009. Again, HDD only estimates sales, their numbers are not official and are not used for any reporting purposes. However, they tend to be extremely accurate, and it is rare that their top 50, or their sales figures, are much out of sync with Soundscan.

It comes as no surprise that Kelly Clarkson came in at #1. Kelly. The Dream and U2 are the only artists predicted with sales over 100,000 this week, with Kelly coming in at around 250K.

Out of the top 50, there are only EIGHT (8) new releases making it onto the list. The other 42 are earlier releases that are recurring top 50.

Kelly Clarkson
The Dream
U2
J. Holiday
New Found Glory
Chris Cornell
Punk Goes Pop (various)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

(am I the only one who does not recognize some of these at all?)

There are also some long timers still hanging around with Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride well into it's second year in the Top 50. The Hollywood Undead celebrated a year on the chart, and Jennifer Hudson is rapidly approaching her one year mark. Darrius Rucker and Sugarland are not far behind.

This week's projected #50 is Lonely Island with estimated sales of 10,446 units.

Soundscan will rank every CD that was registered with them for reporting, but only the top 200 are made available to the public through Billboard ranking. The entire list is available only to members who participate in the Soundscan program.

Responding to a Comment

Rhonda posted this comment, but I have had many people e-mail and PM wanting to ask something about this, so I thought I would bring it to the front page and expand.

Rhonda said...
I am very disheartened because a friend and I have been going to multiple Targets and Walmarts only to find NOT ONE Taylor Cd!!!! Target has stated it is a manufacturer problem....I'm more skeptical that something fishy is up. How can his sales do well when there are no cd's available???? Walmart told us you can only order thru Walmart online. Anyone know what the scoop is?
March 14, 2009 7:13 PM

I do not think there is anything fishy going on. Remember, this is Taylor's CD, on his own label, distributed by a company he is paying. We don't have the short bald man behind the curtain anymore.

From what I understand, part of the problem with Target is that a number of the stores were shipped CDs that did not contain the bonus track. Although this sounds really dumb, it happens more than you would think. When Clay Aiken's "A Thousand Different Ways" came out a couple of years ago, he had a K-Mart bonus track and the same thing happened there, and I remember a Walmart problem awhile back with another artist.

As for Walmart, it really doesn't matter whether the CD is purchased online or in the store, the sale counts the same for him. As long as it was purchased prior to midnight Sunday night (3/14), it counted in first week sales. It does NOT matter when you receive it, or when they actually ship it, the date your credit card is charged is the determining factor in when the sale counts.

As for placement in Walmart stores, we are VERY fortunate that Taylor is being featured in Walmart at all. Had they not been able to negotiate the bonus track deal with them, he would most likely never have had the chance to be in the brick and mortar Walmart stores. They have very stringent policies on the music they stock, and among other things, it is rare that you ever see an indie title in Walmart. Walmart routinely stocks the top albums off the Billboard 200, new releases from major labels and a select list of top sellers of catalog albums. So if they have chosen to limit the number of stores they are featuring it in, we are still way ahead of the game being there at all.

For anyone who is not aware, Walmart does not run it's own music departments. It leases the space out to one of the distributors (Handleman's or Anderson's) who actually orders, ships and services the department. They order the product, ship it from their warehouse, all returnable if not sold, and they send their employees (called rack jobbers) into the stores to inventory the boxes and stock the racks. If you have ever wondered why the music department at your Walmart looks even more disheveled than other departments, it is because their employees normally adopt a "hands off" policy.

And if you are ever in there on release day looking for a new title and the Walmart clerk tells you they don't have it, it very well may be in the back in a box, it is just that the rack jobber has not come in and inventoried and unpacked and stocked the shelves. You CAN get around this one!!
However, this is apparently not what happened with The Distance.

The thing to remember about the bonus track CDs is that the retailer involved orders a specific number up front, and that quantity is pressed. When they are gone, that is the end of them. Then, if the store wishes to restock, they do so with the regular CD. It is not common practice to ever re-press a bonus track CD.

Street Pulse - A First Look at Sales Predications

2009-03-15T06:06:00.002-05:00

Street Pulse has posted it's sales predictions for first week on the albums that dropped on 3/10.

StreetPulse is a product of Bean Stream, Inc. and is a private company that markets point of sale software that collects and compiles sales data. They sell this information to music labels and other industry parties.

They assemble data much like Soundscan, and release projected sales charts weekly, which several of the industry trade journals also publish, but their data is not used in generating the Billboard chart.

Their early report for sales on the 3/10 releases places The Distance ....

#17 in sales

These are preliminary numbers.

On Monday afternoon HDD, the leading predictor of first week sales will begin posting their numbers. While HDD is a private group, and only posts estimates, their numbers and rankings are incredibly accurate, and seldom are there any surprises between their predictions and the final Soundscan numbers.

More about HDD as the numbers start reporting.

First Week Sales - Why They Count More

2009-03-09T01:00:00.004-05:00

SoundScan measures actual sales. It is a product of Nielsen, the company
that measures just about everything including TV viewing, groceries and all media.

Sales are measured by actual point-of-sale (POS) transactions (eg, electronic cash registers). In order for purchases of Taylor’s CD to count for the first week, the sale must be completed between 12:01 a.m. on Monday, March 9, 2009 and 12:00 midnight on Sunday. March 15, 2009.

To qualify for first week sales, an order placed with any online vendor must ship no later than March 15, 2009. The arrival date is not a factor. Digital sales ONLY count for first week sales if the entire album is downloaded as one purchase. If you are buying more than one copy of the album, you may purchase them all at one time. They do not have to be separate sales to be counted individually toward SoundScan sales.

It is an industry standard that all new album releases are on Tuesdays. All albums released the same week as Taylor’s will “drop” on March 10, 2009. Each participating SoundScan retailer transmits sales data electronically to SoundScan weekly. Sales results are then compiled based on the UPC codes. The results are for the first actual week the CD is available for
purchase at retail outlets.

The important competition for all albums debuting the same week is placement on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. This is the most critical of all the Billboard charts. When DJs say “debuting this week at . . .” this is where it debuts – the chart an album enters into the music world on. This chart ranks the top 200 albums across all genres. While there are charts for specific genres, this one encompasses all albums sold, and is the most watched by the industry.

Why is placement on this chart so important? Obviously, it’s great to just be on top, but many radio stations use first week sales to determine which new songs on the market to stack on their playlists. They then sort them by popularity, pre-release reviews, buzz, etc. Consumers look at those charts. Weekly countdowns play from those charts. It all boils down to advertising, prestige, and buzz in the industry. If an album places in the top five, it is making a statement.

Somewhere between 225 to 275 albums will be released March 10th with Taylor’s. This is not as bad as it sounds. Some will be Sesame Street, the younger years, and All in the Family, the compilation.

The following outlets (not all inclusive) report to SoundScan :

•Amazon
•Wal-Mart
•Best Buy
•Target
•Barnes and Noble
•Borders
•K-Mart
•Meijers
•Sam Goody’s
•Fred Meyers
•Most major chain stores with music
departments.

•When in doubt. . .ask!

The following outlets don’t report sales to SoundScan:

•Most warehouse clubs (Costco, BJ’s, etc)
•Drug stores and supermarkets (except for Walgreens)
•Many independent record stores can’t report unless the have an electronic sales system
•Record clubs
•Hallmark stores

Bonus tracks are offered through various retailers as an inducement to sell more albums. Please don’t share your bonus tracks off a CD you purchased with someone who purchased their CD elsewhere. This cheats Taylor out of a sale (besides being illegal). If you know someone who does not live near a store that offers the bonus tracks, suggest that they send you the money and you can purchase Taylor’s new CD with the bonus track for them and mail it to them. In many cases online gift cards can be purchased for you to use. Just because someone doesn’t have local access to a store, it is not a reason to give away Taylor's new music.

Good Things Come (early) To Those Who Wait

2009-02-25T15:06:00.002-06:00

If you have not heard, AOL posted their listening party on KOL for The Distance sometime during the night last night. I am sure they have not received any complaints for debuting it early.

If you haven't done so, be sure to bookmark the site on AOL and stream your music from there. The music industry and radio definitely watch what a CD or single does on AOL Music. In fact, Billboard actually publishes a weekly chart of the top 10 Audio Streams and Top 10 Video Streams on AOL along with their other industry charts.

AOL Music draws more than 20 million unique visitors per month, so getting Taylor Hicks and The Distance seen on AOL is great promotion.

If you don't have your own playlist on AOL, they are easy to do, and you can fill one up with Taylor's music. Be sure to try that feature. You can also listen to other playlists people have created.

Stream the album, let's make Taylor Hicks heard on AOL Music.

How do Radio Stations Decide What to Play?

According to the Federal Communications Commission, there are 13,814 radio stations licensed as of September 2005, 4,761 AM radio stations, 9,053 FM radio stations, and 1,745 broadcast television stations in the country. How do those 13,814 radio stations decide what to play?

According to several studies, 95% of everything on the Billboard charts is major label, and the majority of the remaining 5% is major-indie (major indies have a marketing budget of $50,000 minimum per release, and this does not include making the CD).

Who Does Decide What to Play

All of commercial radio is now driven by playlists. The days when you could actually call up your DJ and tell him what you wanted to hear and 15 minutes later played are long gone. In fact, your DJ can't even play what he wants to hear. Except for those rare celebrity-based request shows, and the occasional local station that has a request hour, ALL commercial radio is pre-formatted by playlists. In fact, for a number of stations, if you tell me your favorite, I can tell you what they played for the past 24 hours, and sometimes even what they are going to play for the next 24, and in order, by the hour. AND....the DJ does not determine this, there is one Program Director for the station who does the entire schedule for all DJs. In the case of the large chains like Clear Channel, this may be done at the corporate level, so the programming for 50 stations may be done by one person.

How Do They Choose What to Play

Most Program Directors generate their playlists primarily from the Billboard charts (which reflect the playlists of the monitored stations, and in the case of the Hot 100, Pop 100 and BB 200, airplay and sales)..... About 95% of this weeks programming will be the most popular stuff from last week across the country. THEN, they will look at all of the available songs "going for adds" and decide whether they will add any of them to their mix, and if so, how many times (daily, hourly, weekly, etc), and what segment of time they will play. (A lot of times if they introduce a "wildcard" that is not at the top of the charts, they may place it on the overnight schedule where listening numbers are lowest.

Now.....it becomes a "self feeding" process. The highest songs on the chart automatically go back on the playlist, and how do you get on the chart - by having the most airplay.

Program directors have a number of tools available when making programming decisions that help them better understand their market.

-Software applications that rank core audience performance of stations in the same format, same market, or nationally

-Software applications that track radio listening and trends in specific markets
Audience-analysis software

-Arbitrends service, which delivers ratings updates between standard quarterly surveys

Deciding what to "add"

Knowing the audience is the key to a PD being able to identify the best music to add to playlists. To stay on top what their audience likes, PDs watch the charts and playlists from other stations in the same genre. They also have access to Radio & Records weekly charts of songs that were added by the most stations the previous week (they can also see if those stations are keeping the song in their rotation this week) Most Added" report, which it generates from data it collects from radio stations in major markets according to genre. In the past few years, many have also found new music on TV.

Radio stations (sometimes working with recording companies, distributors, promoters, artist managers or retailers) also conduct market research to see what listeners either want to hear and/or are already listening to. A newer version of this type of research involves Web surveys by which listeners can vote and comment on music. Check your local station's website and see if they have a club for listener's to join. Often they will allow this group to review new music, or offer suggestions, and if you are already a member, it is makes your opinion more valuable than joining the day you want to request something.

There are several online music sites that were developed to provide a listening focus groups, and they allow listeners to rate the music. They often will pit 3-4 partial clips of tracks, and the listener rates them. Often, a label will use this when deciding which track to make the single from the new release. These services are considered valuable enough that their weekly "top" charts are also listed in Radio and Records. Two of the most tracked are Promosquad and Rate the Music.

Online P2P networks can also influence playlists. Clear Channel owns BigChampagne which tracks the songs most frequently downloaded in the P2P networks such as LimeWire and others. The program sorts this data by geographic region and reports it to radio stations, giving the stations a more accurate feel for what is "hot."

Clear Channel also has a Web site, Clear Channel Music Network, dedicated to new music. New groups can register and post their music for PDs and consumers to listen to. If PDs like it, there is always the chance they'll add it to their playlist

He has done it again! Quietly slipped in and posted another incredible bait, um, I mean frame, from the What's Right is Right video. You can tell he enjoyed himself picking just the right one to string us along.

I'm not going to post the picture, let's go over to Jake's blog and thank him for taking the time to do this. He is advertising the video sure, but it's not like we weren't going to watch it 30 seconds after it goes up anyway, so he really is giving us special treatment.

While you are there, take a look at his music video gallery, it looks like he has worked it all, from acoustic to rap to heavy metal (at least I think it's heavy metal, I'm a bit weak in that genre), and now he will be the only person to have shot a video in the whomp genre. How about that !

Don't Forget Our Loyal Internet Radio Stations

2009-02-09T00:47:00.006-06:00

When you are tuning in to hear WRIR, don't forget our great friends on internet radio. Gregg and Uncle Shag have been a source of great ongoing support for Taylor, and they were two of the FIRST to play WRIR.

If you haven't kept up or aren't familiar with what has happened in internet radio in the last few years, this will give you an idea of how important the support of these two stations are.

The number of internet radio listeners jumped considerably last year, according to figures released by Bridge Ratings & Research. The group pointed to a year-end total of 72 million monthly listeners, up from 45 million at the tail end of 2005. On a weekly basis, that figure was 57 million, or 19 percent of all people above the age of 12.

Request Directly From Mediabase

2009-02-08T15:16:00.005-06:00

YOU CAN REQUEST “WHAT'S RIGHT IS RIGHT” STRAIGHT THROUGH MEDIABASE

Most importantly, NEVER REQUEST FROM A RADIO STATION IF YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR LISTENING RANGE. Stations monitor demogtraphics, they see IP addresses with every e-mail, they see phone numbers, and you will not be helping.

This is a great resource for requesting WRIR since it goes to the station via Mediabase, one of the most important resources in the radio industry. However, abuse of this has the potential to really harm Taylor's chance of a station choosing to EVER play his single..

PLEASE read through this, and be VERY careful when making your requests. Abuse will result in a station never playing Taylor's single, and can actually cause the on air personalities to start taking shots at him or fans. This is not a guess, it's been proven repeatedly by prior AI fan bases after the stations considered them "spamming" Since that time, the radio stations are very sensitive to AI fans spamming them.

First, and most importantly, you should never request from a station that is not in your listening area. They are interested in serving their customers, and they consider anything else a nuisance. Because they use IP information to chart their demographics, they have easy access to where e-mails come from (and proxy's are red flags). Remember, a radio station has another very important customer...their advertisers, and they have chosen that station because of their target market.

If you really want your request to be as credible and effective as it can be, and if your e-mail address is IWANTTOMARRYTAYLORHICKS@gmail.com, think about opening another one to use for requests.

I do not know how many stations are available through Mediabase access. I would expect all of the monitored stations are, but try checking the A/C stations in your hometown just to see ... there may be some on here that are not listed as monitored.

You will use this link AND REPLACE THE XXXX with the 4 call letters of the station you want to request from... (starting with K or W) ... then paste it into your browser and go !!

http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?c_let=XXXX-FM

Example: One of my primary A/C stations is 96.9, lite 96, WRSA so I would edit this to read

http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?c_let=WRSA-FM

If the station is in there, it will pull up their current format list with 2 columns, one Newer Music and one Past Favorites....

There are check boxes next to each song on the list. You can choose up to 5 to request. For me, WRSA already has Taylor in their rotation (we train em young) ... so I have a check box. However, they have a place at the bottom to request songs that are not currently in their format. If your station doesn't have him listed, add WRIR to the list.

Be sure to actually request at least 3 songs, preferably 5 ... if you only request Taylor's, they will not think you are a dedicated listener to their station.

I would not fill one of these forms out more than ONCE PER WEEK. That is more than enough given how little room there is for them to add requests, and it is better to not risk alienating them.
