Top 5 Alternative Hits With 80% < Of Panel...

...playing the hit.

Nickelback's "Figured You Out" is quite likely to become a Top 5 hit now on Alternative, yet only 61/81 of Alternative Stations are currently spinning it, barely 75% of the monitored panel.

What other Top 5 hits before (Top 10 too) made it big with less than three-fourths of the panel pushing the single? Just found it interesting to discuss this.

Well, "Figured You Out" is guaranteed to at least tie the #4 peak of "Someday", and "Figured You Out" STILL only has about 75% of the panel playing it.

Is it possible in any way for a single with as much as twenty stations not playing it to go #1? I don't know about the rest of you, but this is really interesting to me seeing Nickelback even went Top 5 without clearing the format.

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton
