Mediabase has cut out access to the search page for QuickCut Info so we don’t know how many spins each S8 Idol got this week.

  • I hope Kelly doesn’t fall out of the top 10 yet. Taylor also…coz I want her to set a couple more records, heh.

  • Anoop Desai – Ooo Baby Baby
    1 Top 40

    That’s so awesome!! (since it’s a top 40)

  • Adam is looking good there.

  • wow at adam!!

  • Spenser, im not sure but sometimes if they play a clip of a song long enough, it will count for a spin. THey dont nessicarily need to play the whole song

  • BTW, is this the first year weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re hearing about spins? If not, did Archie and Cook get spins last year? Hits me as a new thang, but Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m expecting to learn ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s only new to me. :-)

    Just new to you. It’s been happening for years. I even used to include it in the Mediabase reports (because we used to be able to see every single spin they monitored).

    Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m just curious because it seems so odd to me for a dj to just randomly throw an AI contestantà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance into their radio show.

    Frogcooke is right. If they play a long enough clip, it counts as a spin. But, sometimes AI contestant’s performances do have a longer shelf life. For the long months when Elliott’s deal was “super-secret” (wasn’t it announced in February during Season 6?), some of his AI performance songs (they only made one studio version available so most of these were songs ripped from the show) were played a couple times every week on the radio (I believe it was one of his local stations that did it). So, sometimes they will just play an AI contestant’s performance on the radio.
