Ghost Story chart updates

Gee, this is huge if it means the main chart will just be mediabase! If only this started earlier, lol. We would have so many higher peaks and the top ten streak still

I don't understand what this would do for us? I don't follow charts much though.
Carrie normally fares better on Mediabase compared to BB. She had tons of songs (See You Again, Dirty Laundry, Smoke Break, Two Black Cadillacs, etc.) make it to #1 one Mediabase but stuck at #2 on BB due to their difference in tracking #s. If this would have happened earlier then those songs would have likely been BB #1s as well.

The same thing with top 10s. If this was enacted earlier Carrie would still have her top 10 streak on BB, since love wins and drinking alone peaked at 10 and 9 respectively on Mediabase, but both got stuck at 11 on BB.

Will be interesting to see if this does anything.

It means one could calculate BB’s exact chart data oneself by just going to all access and looking up the audience for each song on every station on the BB panel, so it’s possible that they might decide it’s pointless for there to be two separate charts of MB numbers just for two different panels of stations, and therefore decide to discontinue their version. Or they could see nothing wrong with that, who knows

Interesting that the push for GS on radio is accompanied with its placement at the very bottom of the Hot Country Spotify playlist. Better streams would help with its overall Hot 100 peak. And if GS had become a decently sized streaming hit maybe that would have in turn helped it on radio too. But the team seemed content to have it in the lower half of the playlist most of its run.

Really that's where her team needs to be focusing. Playlisting and playlist positioning is very important.
