RCS adds Powerplaylist to its Mediabase menu

The Mediabase division of broadcast software company RCS has introduced a new feature called Powerplaylist.

Mediabase tracks the airplay of all songs played on over 1900 radio stations in North America.

Powerplaylist, the new addition to the Mediabase menu, creates a chart by merging data from audience statistics, downloads, sales, number of views of music videos and streaming.

According to the company it is a chart that stands apart from all other charts, giving the most accurate trends in music from listeners in North America.

It ranks the week’s top current songs using aggregate data from Mediabase Big Picture Audience, Digital Single Sales and Streaming Audio & Video provided by BigChampagne and Shazam Tags.

A preview of the data from this methodology can be seen at , which is updated every Friday by 12 noon New York time.
