Bob, you’re killing me.<\/p>\n

The U.S. launched a streaming music chart in March, months before this UK chart. It’s called the On-Demand Songs Chart. It’s a Billboard chart that measures all songs played on-demand on Spotify, MOG, Rhapsody, Rdio, Slacker, Muve and soon Zune and Sony Music Unlimited.<\/p>\n

The data from that chart also now influences rankings in the Hot 100 as well.<\/p>\n

When I left Billboard I started consulting w\/ NARM’s digitalmusic.org division, and this was the first thing we did with Nielsen\/Billboard and our members (all of the music subscription services).<\/p>\n

Just saying…<\/p>\n

Well, I was wrong, turns out there is a U.S. streaming chart…<\/p>\n

But why do they call it "On-Demand" instead of streaming?<\/p>\n

And why does Nielsen\/Billboard not promote it?<\/p>\n

As for BigChampagne’s "Ultimate Chart"<\/a>, I’ve yet to figure that one out…it seems as trustworthy and believable as the voting on Dick Clark awards shows.<\/p>\n

We need one new chart based on bedrock statistics with no interpretation or weighing to quantify what’s going on in music. <\/p>\n

Trumpeting SoundScan is like citing MTV clip rotation.
