SIRIUS Satellite Radio Airplay to Impact Five More Billboard ChartsSIRIUS Satellite Radio |
SIRIUS Satellite Radio, the content leader in radio, today announced that airplay on five of its music channels will now impact several weekly charts published in Billboard's influential Radio Monitor publication.
The SIRIUS music channels and the Billboard Radio Monitor charts they will impact are:
The Spectrum / channel 18 (Triple-A), Octane / channel 20 (Active Rock), Alt Nation / channel 21 (Modern Rock), Hot Jamz / channel 50 (R&B/Hip-Hop), and Heart & Soul / channel 51 (Adult R&B).
Songs played on these SIRIUS channels will be included in the weekly spins charts published online on November 22, and will appear in print in the November 25 issue of Billboard Radio Monitor and each week thereafter.
In August 2005, SIRIUS announced that airplay on its flagship pop music channel, SIRIUS Hits-1 / channel 1 marked the first time that airplay from a non-terrestrial broadcaster had been factored into the weekly results of Billboard Airplay Monitor's Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart.
"Given that SIRIUS is the fastest-growing satellite radio company, the influence of our airplay will certainly have significant effect on the Billboard charts for years to come" said Steve Blatter, SIRIUS Senior Vice President, Music Programming.
