What is the difference between the Adult R&B chart and the Mediabase/R&R Urban AC chart? I notice Toni Braxton's "Please" is #1 on Adult R&B this week, but it isn't even on the Mediabase top 20 (is it a recurrent there?). I think India.Arie's "Purify Me" was #1 on Adult R&B last week, but it was #11 on the Mediabase Urban AC chart. How is there that big of a difference?

	I like a lot of songs that got little or no airplay.

Why does Mediabase have more stations for pretty much every format?
