Mediabase is a company that monitors what has been aired on college, public, commercial and Internet radio. Instead of relying on what the PD/MD of a station reports, the monitoring system listens to what the station actually plays.
Mediabase monitors the airplay of over 1,800 radio stations and updates continuously 24 hours daily. Besides using computers to listen to the stations, Mediabase also uses people. Since a human is actually doing the listening, the person can make notes of special things, like if the music was heard in an advertisement, or if the artist was talked about by DJs, or other things that a computer would miss.
Formats monitored include Mainstream Top 40, Rhythmic, Mainstream Rock, Active Rock, Modern Rock, Classic Rock, Triple A, Country, Oldies, AC, Hot AC, Urban, Urban AC, Smooth AC, Christian AC, Gospel and Latin.
In addition to providing vital airplay information to radio stations in the U.S. and Canada, Mediabase provides information to every major record label and distributor, as well as concert promoters, artists, managers, music publishers, movie studios, video game developers and more.
Mediabase charts are published weekly in USA Today, and are used on nearly all radio countdown shows and dozens of websites and magazines.
Mediabase publishes music charts and data based on the most played songs on terrestrial and satellite radio, and provides in-depth analytical tools for radio and record industry professionals. Mediabase charts and airplay data are used on many popular radio countdown shows and televised music awards programs. Music charts are published in both domestic and international trade publications and newspapers worldwide. Mediabase is a division of Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
Mediabase charts are the source for the following radio countdown shows:
- American Top 40 with Ryan Seacreast.
- The Jeff Foxworthy Country Countdown
- Crook & Chase Country Countdown
- Live In The Den with Big Tigger – an Urban Radio based syndicated program.
- Bob Kingsley’s Country Top 40

Mediabase is also the primary programming tool for nationally syndicated shows like Open House Party with John Garabedian, After Midnite with Blair Garner, and Nighttime with Delilah.
SO…….lets make the system work for Clay Aiken!! Please click on the following link to Mediabase and hear Clay sing Bring Back My Love. (I bet you will want to click more than once!!)
Then, on Tuesday, download the single from Amazon or iTunes. Every download is important!
Evidently, Mediabase is major!! Thankyou for all of the information. I have played the new song,
Bring Back My Love a great number of times already and just as incredible as it was at the Gala
it is on the link!!!!! It will be down-loaded – like lots – I am sure. The song has everything including
Clay singing it, like no one else ever will!!!! I was so anxious for everyone to hear it – after I heard
it at the Gala – simply no words to describe what Clay does to that song!
On my heck, this song is so beautiful!! I'm so happy and proud for Clay. I hope the radio stations play this song and I will totally be downloading on Tuesday! 🙂
Oh my word!!! This song is more than amazingly beautiful, it's also romantic and very sensual. I LOVE everything about it. I heard it at the NIP Gala and have been agog with anticipation to be able to listen again! Clay definitely got the job done on this one! Thanks Clay 😀
Mmm, I'm addicted to the song, maybe the best thing he's ever done <3
I will certainly be downloading as soon as possible however I am concerned that Amazon.uk or my iTunes might not have it. I hope so… :-/
Wouldn't suppose anyone happened to know about the song's release outside of the US?
Love the song!! It should be a hit if they play it.
I can't stop playing this new song. The way Clay sang it live at the Gala was unreal! Thanks for such an informative and interesting blog!
I have downloaded the song this morning and I have it in my IPOD Touch, MP3 and burned it and I'vebeen playing it in my stereo as I have it on a repeat mode. What a lovely song a perfect song for Clay's AWESOME voice. LOVE IT!!!!
