IMPORTANT NOTES

Shazam
Some radio stations look at Shazam numbers to determine buzz around songs and may add songs with good Shazam numbers. Spotify and other music platforms also look at Shazam numbers for determining playlisting as well. Getting Ateez onto big playlists helps with exposing more people to Ateez. (From WatersOnAir on Twitter, an American Radio DJ).
Tiktok
Radio Stations look at TikTok views/videos of a sound to see what new songs are buzzing in the US. Many popular TikTok songs also become big radio hits and see high sales from their performance on TikTok. When making videos on TikTok, always be sure to include the official Ateez sounds in your videos. (From WatersOnAir on Twitter, an American Radio DJ)

Estimated Reach
  • 6K units for debut
  • 10K units for a Top 100 performance
How are Radio Playlists tracked?
Radio Plays are tracked by impressions. Impressions are how many listeners were tuned in every 15 minutes to any particular radio station. This means if Ateez is played in the middle of the night, they will not get as many impressions versus if they were played in the morning as listeners have the radio on while on their way to work or school.For Billboard Radio Charting, only commercial radio stations from 130 biggest cities are counted.

PLEASE READ

Billboard 200 relies on PHYSICAL and STREAMING units of an album. The more album units streamed and sold, the higher our charting position can be.
  • The chart is relative to new releases and artist popularity. There is no definite number of units to chart, but it will always depend on whoever released for a certain tracking week, as well as the current artists that are still charting.
  • There are several Kpop artists that charted above Top 20 this year (2022), and their units are as follows:
    #1 - 100-300K Pure Sales
    #7 - 42-52K Pure Sales
  • Artists who have pure sales were also backed with MILLIONS of streams. An average of 4 million streams on top of the physical and digital sales.
  • Billboard 200 chart also gives importance to longevity. Albums can chart several weeks within Top 200.
