I know my station 106.7 JAMZ (KCJZ)gave at least one spin to each one of those artists. We're BDS'ed. You may wanna explain what BDS is to some of the peeps here that are not familiar w/ it.
 
Thank you Rene -

what is BDS? and is there a site we could look up?
 
Sandman, BDS (Broadcast Data Services) is a internet database that allows record labels and radio stations to keep track of daily, weekly and historical spins of artists and songs. As far as I know, it is not available to the general public. I have access to it though and I will tell you the results:

TKA had 35 spins this week, the most being on KTU (7 different titles, 15 spins total). They were heard at least once this week in markets ranging from Las Vegas, Boston, El Paso and Phoenix, among others

LIL SUZY had 48 spins this week, the most being at San Fran's KYLD (1 title, 9 spins). A total of 34 stations played Lil Suzy at least once this past week.

CYNTHIA had 30 spins this week, the most being on KTU (5 titles, 13 spins total).

JOHNNY O had 13 spins this week, the most being on KCJZ in San Antonio (1 title, 4 spins).

GEORGE LAMOND had 12 spins this week, the most on KTU (4 title, 11 spins).

STEVIE B had 129 spins this week, the most on KCJZ in San Antonio (5 titles, 24 spins)...Stevie B got a lot of airplay probably because "Because I Love You (The Postman Song)" is still played in a lot of adult markets, and even "Spring Love" appears on the occasional Top 40 playlist.


Sorry not everyone can check this out, but if anyone wants this info from time to time, feel free to ask and I'll post it here
 
Info about George Lamond misleading

George Lamond gets alot more than 12 spins nationwide if you include his Latin music on Latin pop stations and Tropical Latino stations.I am sure he averages atleast 100 spins a week if you include his Spanish and AM radio spins.This week on Rumba 680 AM Tampa I heard George Lamond alot of times and on Mega 820 Tampa he was played alot this week plus I am sure George Lamond got airplay on Mega 97.9 New York,Latino FM New York aswell as Mega Orlando and if you include Puerto Rico George Lamond outspins Stevie B atleast half the times.GOD Bless,Omar 😉

Randy, heres the numbers

JOSETTE "In A Dream" got 7 spins this week, 6 of them on KYLD and 1 on KCAQ.

ROCKELL "In A Dream" got 27 spins this week (34,210 spins to date since it's release), 6 on WFKS in Jacksonville being the most for one station this week


Omar, BDS does not track AM stations, so I couldn't tell you how many times George Lamond gets played on them. As far as the Spanish stations, they aren't tracked by BDS as far as I know or else they would have come up on the report.
 
There are several other factors that may affect the BDS detections as well:

The pitch has to be w/in the -2 & +2 range otherwise if you play a song too fast or to slow you will not get a detection.

If you adjust the song while it's playing.

If the record is too dirty.

If you're playing a bootleg copy, remix or import.

If you mix out of the song too fast & don't let the song play long enough.

If you're scratching over the song or doing "tricks".
