Weekend Update

Total Popular Music Projected: May 26, 2013 If our new "Projections Monitor 30" -- projecting May 26 -- proves to be as accurate as the one published a week ago was for the May 19th Super Sixty, Justin Timberlake's MIRRORS will become our new TPM Number One SuperHit, following the lead of our Top 40 Radio component. With the end of its four-week reign as TPM Topper, JUST GIVE ME A REASON will settle in as runner-up, still thousands of total plays ahead of the songs that follow. According to our TotalsProjectionsMonitor software, there will also be an exchange of positions between this week's numbers three and four, with CAN'T HOLD US jumping ahead of STAY. And two titles now below the Top 10 will advance into the first decade. The TPM Projections Monitor is scientifically compiled utilizing our exclusive TotalsProjectionsMonitor™ -- incorporating current airplay and trending data, and is published Sunday nights, to be available for Monday mornings. This listing from Mark Harris Broadcast Consulting is both a projection of what the Top 30 on the next week's Super Sixty might look like, and a programming guide for the coming week enabling radio stations airing the Total Popular Music radio format to be proactive rather than reactive in scheduling music rotations.
