Airplay Live

Every play becomes another real-world music study

470,911Plays 31,155Tracks 19.3MListener‑count readings

Airplay Live measures how songs hold listeners during actual broadcasts. Every second, it reads the station's online listener count and tracks changes. The same method applies to talk breaks and other on-air content.

Most tune-outs are normal background movement. Airplay Live compares each play against that background and asks a simpler question: did more or fewer listeners leave than would normally be expected?

As the same listener signal repeats across plays, it becomes measurable listener behavior and builds Airplay Live's main index: the station-specific POP Score (0-100).

POP Score is updated after every play. Higher scores mean stronger listener hold.

The Sample

Repeated plays quickly build a substantial sample.

The latest song to reach 25 plays is Syence, Alex Gaudino & MKLA - Up All Night. It has been measured around 1,140 times; each play’s tune-outs are compared with the station’s normal movement at that time.

What Airplay Live Adds

Airplay monitoring shows what was played. Ratings estimate how many listened. Survey research measures what listeners say about songs. Airplay Live measures what the audience does while they air.

It complements familiarity, likability and fatigue research. It does not currently test songs before airplay, tell you why listeners tuned in, or explain why any one listener left.

It helps identify strong holders, flag rotation risks and monitor new adds as evidence builds.

What POP Score Represents

DEMO

POP Score reflects the station's online-stream audience. It is not a market rating, a demographic study or a measure of the full terrestrial audience.

It answers one operational question: When this song plays here, does it hold the online audience better or worse than expected for this station?

Programming judgment makes the decision. Airplay Live adds observed behavior.

Measuring Talk

Ref station · Guerrilla

The same measurement extends to talk breaks, newscasts, stop sets, and other identifiable on-air content.

Spoken content is transcribed and grouped into recurring topics and mentions, showing which subjects hold listeners and which lose them. Qualifying topics receive a station-specific Topic Score from 0 to 100.
