Methodology
POP is Airplay Live's 0-100 measure of how well a track holds listeners during actual broadcasts. POP change is the movement across the period. Cross (Cross POP) is the channel-comparable version; Appeal is the track's raw pull. Tune-out rate is measured against the station's ambient turnover (signed, lower is better).
Rotation (Early / Heavy / Steady / Sparse / Building) describes each track's observed airplay pattern since it entered our airplay, how long ago we first aired it and how steadily and often it plays. It is deliberately not Currents / Recurrents / Gold: those depend on a song's release and chart-peak age, which we do not track. We only know when a track entered our airplay, so we describe the pattern, not the lifecycle. It matters as context: a steady backbone track and a newcomer earn very different reads of the same POP. New adds are tracks whose first airplay falls in this period.
Song-level plays only (60 to 1140 seconds, excluding non-music and long mixes). Audience is the average and peak concurrent online listeners for the period; this is not cume. Times are shown in the station's home timezone.
Song-level plays only (60-1140s, non-showmix, non-break). Tune-out rate is mean ratio_adj (signed, lower is better). No cume: audience is average/peak concurrent online listeners.
