ALTNOY Climbing Chart

OMG, I have no idea what I'm doing. My first post and I have no idea how this works. Forgive me if this is a mess.

So, this should be encouraging for all you guys that have been requesting ALTNOY on your local stations. It's starting to work. Here's today's Mediabase update:

90 71 DAVID ARCHULETA A Little Too Not Over You 125 72 53 0.813

What this means is that ALTNOY rose from 90th to 71st in the last 7 days, with 125 spins, up from 72 during the previous 7 days, for a total increase of 53 spins (or roughly a 66% increase in airplay!). The decimal at the end means that 813,000 pairs of ears heard the song in the last 7 days. Awesome, and should help sales of the single and album. Good job everyone, but there is still a long way to go. Keep it up!

Hey SeattleArchie...your first post was great. Thanks for the info and its interpretation.

SeattleArchie said...

Whew . . . *shakes hands fretfully*

If it turned out to be an epic fail, i was gonna blame sabrina.

Trish said...

Seattle good job on your first post and AWESOME news!!!!

Dana said...

Thanks for the info, Seattle! 66% increase in airplay! YES!


Great job on your first post! :)

Angel_Lynn said...

SeatleArchie, your first post was great. It was informative and encouraging. Even if it didn't go well you can blame the pictures from Square magazine. I'm pretty sure everyone would excused you.

Kimberly said...

yay seattle! thanks for an awesome first post! :)

walls said...

Seattle.. BRILLIANT!
A post full of positive info on ALNOY, and I can't wait to see it climb the charts! THANKS!

And just for our amusement:

68 60 LADY GAGA Poker Face Interscope 243 148 95 0.634

Maybe in a couple months, DaGa will snuggle up next to each other in the top 10. BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Josie said...

Great job Seattle!! Or should I say Snarky Seattle?? :)

I am so NOT concerned about ALTNOY's success.

karenkid said...

Wow! Thanks SeattleArchie for the encouraging post! Snarky Archies is the place I come for my dose of good cheer and happiness! I was inspired to do my requesting right after I read your post. Very motivational!!!

Go ALTNOY!!! GO ARCHIES!!!

beene said...

Josie♥, I'm with you. To me ALTNOY screams hit. Who doesn't love a good breakup song?

Hey walls♥!

ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking said...

seattledavid, you rock! Congrats on the post. Was it scary?

Josie said...

{{beene}}♥
TIYMS {hug} ♥
All Snarkies - {♥}

SeattleArchie said...

oh, mom, terrifying. but at least i knew i had a supportive e-family if i made a complete hash of it.

. . . the things i've learned to do since discovering archie.

ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking said...

. . .like texting with your reading glasses in a mosh pit?

. . . commenting on random blogs and inviting photographers to be your friend on facebook?

. . . voting obsessively on teen magazine websites?

. . . making tons of wonderful e-friends?

Don't get me started.

walls said...

oh man..

*waves*

beene ♥ who doesn't love a break up song.. how true!
josie ♥ Not concerned for ALTNOY either!
tiyms ♥ fellow pilferer..

can I say I'm a fan of Seattle???

snarkies ♥ ROCK!

SeattleArchie said...

. . . and learning all sorts of weird acronyms and blogspeak

. . . which sometimes bleeds over into communications with my non-archusphere friends

. . . which causes them to respond with quizical looks and bemusement at why i now sound like their teenage kids

SeattleArchie said...

oh, walls. even my kids aren't fans of me. i'm quite sure you have no cause. but thank you for the encouragement. you may regret it.

marly said...

GREAT news for ALTNOY!!!!!
I am crossing my fingers for it's success...
I am hoping that if it becomes as successful as Crush(which I am sure it will) then maybe...just maybe the radio stations where I live will FINALLY play David!!!
Hey walls!
Hey beene...long time no see:):):)
Josie...you were my original David uplifter way back in the day at Rickeys...hugs to you...if I could do a heart...I would:):)

Jen A said...

Evening cool and beautiful people!!!

Great first post S.A.! We appreciate it greatly!

**Mr. A is home for dinner and alas no frozen food shall be microwaved... he expects a real meal. The nerve...*** No play for Jen A

walls said...

Seattle.. kids are never fans of their parents.. I ought to know, I have some :D ( at least not until they are waaayy older.. or so I'm told)

Regrets?? NEVER! I found out one fact about you that placed you several notches higher in my book... you don't like seafood. ME EITHER! I had a reaaallly bad experience and I shudder at the thought of eating it in any shape or form.

Hey Marly !! ( hearts = alt key and #3 on key pad at same time )♥

Amy said...

YAY SEAAAATTLE! AWESOME FIRST POST!

and do you find yourself shipping daga more that you know she is talented?

I DO, OMG.

Amy said...

MOM, YOU INVITED HIM TO BE YOUR FACEBOOK FRIEND?

THAT IS ADORABLE!

you never asked ME to be your facebook friend.

Amy said...

sorry, that was jel-lus amy.

Josie said...

Walls hearts. Marly? You were at rickeys? Well hello again.

Feelin the love at Snarky's!

beene said...

Well hello Marly! I've missed you!

walls - I hated seafood my whole life (I know that shocks you, my doppelganger) - but then I married into a seafood-lovin' family. I had no choice but to adapt. And then I moved to Japan. I had to learn to eat raw seafood. Now I hate it all over again.

Jen A!!!!!! Well hey there long lost friend~

Any Josie - {{hugs}}

Hi to everyone else ... you may not know me well enough to want a hug just yet.

cassy said...

Hehe...I changed my avatar, cause I couldn't resist.

Great post seattle! Love those updates on the numbers!

Beene, Josie, I was also at Rickey's waaaay back when. I remember you well.

I was vikilee. :) That name has been retired.

beene said...

cassy/vikilee, I totally remember you! :)

Those were some silly, silly days.

beene said...

As opposed to these very serious, highbrow days.

beene said...

BTW, Josie, I meant to say "And Josie" in my above post.

Not just Any Josie. There's only one you.

Mia said...

Hey Seattle, I'm coming out of lurkdom just to tell you this was a great first post!! I'm doing my job requesting here in our area...

cassy said...

Yep, beene. Sometimes pretty whacky at Rickey's.

It was fun, mostly. ;)

cassy said...

The fan wars were intense back then.

virginia said...

My daughter called me to day to till me that Crush is on sittle radio where she works. When you call and are put on hold. They play music and one of the songs is Crush. All awesome is that. We live in south west Florida.

beene said...

Yeah, cassy, I'm so glad it's all good stuff these days. :)

ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking said...

Amy, I searched for you once but didn't find you. Luckily you found me.

Amy said...

bahahahahahaaaaa, you searched for me, mom?

i am honored!

ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking said...

Of course Amy. I was outside in my robe looking for you . . . . I didn't stop running ...navigating straight to you . . .

Danielle said...

Great job, Seattle! This is encouraging news, too.

Josie said...

Beene, walls, marly, cassy/VL, archu_adorable ah the good ole days! BUT I'm so very happy with the good new days. Here. At snarky's.

Amy and her swanky snarkies.

Josie said...

Haha beene! I am just any old Josie really. :) haha.

Danielle said...

Hey, anybody heard from Rodze or SkoopK lately? Where have those Snarkies disappeared to?

ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking said...

Good question Danielle . .

Amy said...

scoopk ran away because we get too many visits a day and she gets shy.

bahahahaha.

Amy said...

YOU OUGHTA GO NORTH SOMEBODY TOLD US

and fortune faaalls like snowflakes in yoooour haaaaands

beene said...

Never just any old Josie, {{Josie}}...

prince1201 said...

SA, you rock on your first post.. you're doing good just being yourself ... and feel free to include in your post the random rambling above like the "DaGA" comment or something. That totally cracked me up :)

SeattleArchie said...

Thanks to you all for the positive feedback. You can expect occasional posts from me, mostly chart/numbers related, but with occasional randomness, too, haha (tm archie).

Hi Mia! I've been requesting on KISSFM too!

And yes, Amy, ever since I saw that awesomely weird acoustic version of Poker Face, I am willing to go along with the DaGa ship.

patti said...

To ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking:

I am just going to say this once and very loud and clear----I NEED TO MEET YOU FACE TO FACE!!!! You live in Utah right? You make me laugh so hard, "texting with your reading glasses in a mosh pit"..."voting obsessively on teen magazine websites"..."inviting photographers to be your friend on facebook"...(and last but NOT least)..."I was outside in my robe looking for you" This has honestly been the funnest experience I have had (since the kids are all grown and gone) and time on my hands to join in all the fun. I live in the Ogden area and would drive "A Thousand Miles" "To Be With You." Please tell me it can happen:)

ThisIsYourMotherSpeaking said...

patti, good thing it isn't 1000 miles from Ogden to provo. You are officially invited to the snarky party during david's tour here in SLC!! or anytime you need to come down to provo. We are adding a boggle/scrabble play-off to the line up of activities and inviting matt the photographer to come and capture the event. Door prize goes to the person who speaks in David lyrics the most.

AND ITAWTP (i just learned yesterday that that means I totally agree with the post - i think?) This is way too much fun! I'm sort of glad I have so much computer work to do that it keeps me online.

And I'm not really all that funny in person . . .

patti said...

Woot!!! I am officially invited to the snarky party when David performs in SLC. Sounds like a lot of fun activities---especially having Matt come hang out:) I wanted to join you for the NYE bash in Orem...I'm sure I would have loved the mosh pit, wearing my own reading glasses and texting! But I had big family doins' that night. I loved reading all about it though. You really are so funny---so don't say you aren't.

smartmom said...

I have not heard ALTNOY on LA radio yet. I heard it on Disney though. Hopefully, XM will start playing it soon. Why hasn't it been added to VH1 for voting? Keep putting it in as a wild card@
