COMPARING THE 5 DIFFERENT CHARTS / DCC ISSUE 1

As I mentioned yesterday there are some new players on the College chart landscape.

So I thought it would be fun to compare them all with what CMJ puts out. And make our own top 20.
CMJ at one point would show what the top 20 were on its public part of the website so lets start there.

So right off the bat we have 9 records on CMJ That don't even appear on the Spins based chart.

Mitski, Bat for Lashes, Heaven for Real, Field Mouse, Descendents Death Valley, Bjork and Radiohead

Before we get too into it lets check out the next one NACC 



So this one matches up well with the CMJ chart with the main difference being JPNSGRLS at #10 ( they come in at #22 on the CMJ chart so not so crazy there.

and now onto the last chart.  The Muzooka College radio chart 

Now they have a weighted and and unweighted chart.
I will show you both since the Weighted should lean towards what CMJ does and the unweighted should lean towards what NACC are doing.

( well trying to copy and paste that was very problematic) So go check out the chart from the link above

Now lets present to you for the first time ever. Dougs College Chart.

So there you have it the definitive #1 record in college radio. Thee Oh Sees.

We will do this again perhaps in a few months as the newer charts get better but the main take away I saw from this is that all but one chart had Thee OH Sees at #1.  Also the amount the charts were the same surprised me a bit as I thought there may be some bigger differences.

What do you think?
