I was really bored for the past 3 days ;) and wanted to test out a points system for my brand new personal chart that I'd use to make my year end chart. I didn't want to do simple inverse points because that wouldn't be accurate, and coming up with specific "spins"/"points" for each song every week would be too much work, so I came up with a sort of compromise. It uses points but they're based only on position, so every week #7 has the same number of spins, for example.
The points work like this (I used charts without recurrent rules for accuracy). I kept tweaking these to make the chart more accurate, but they ended up being:
#1=1200, 2=1075, 3=975, 4=900, 5=850, 10=700, 20=475, 30=300, 40=175, 50=115, with other numbers in between. Also, since I had almost all of the full top 100 charts for the year, I did 51-55=105, 56-60=95, 61-65=85, 66-70=75, 71-75=65, 76-80=55, 81-85=45, 86-90=35, 91-95=25, 96-100=15, and songs outside the top 100 get 10 points if they have at least 250 spins and 5 if they have 100-249.
Overall the year end chart seems pretty accurate. One of the most notable differences is that songs that were dropping from the beginning of the year (or recurrent at the start of the year) tend to be lower than with actual airplay because the points for positions outside the top 50 aren't really proportional to positions in the top 10, for example. Also, songs that are on the chart now tend to be higher than with actual airplay because they have less ground to make up in terms of accumulating enough points to overtake older songs. In a way I like that better because it makes when the song was released and hit the chart less important.
I used the Mediabase charts that represent the R&R charts from 1/10/03 to 1/9/04 including the holiday break. I multiplied the points for the 1/10/03 and the 1/9/04 chart by 4/7 because only 4 of the days in each of those weeks were in 2003.
Anyway, here's the chart. (With recurrents in their proper places in red, numbered separately, but overall there are 200 songs).
Amazingly 5 artists had 2 back-to-back hits in the top 100, and another below 100.
