Music Industry decision-makers: record executives, radio programmers, artist managers, movie soundtrack developers, music publishers, music licensing companies, retail store managers, independent promoters and others depend on our detailed information every day. The industry’s most read publication - Billboard Magazine - started converting the airplay portion of their music charts to BDS data in 1990. A new family of four Airplay Monitor magazines, based entirely on BDS information targeted to radio programmers at specific formats, was created in 1993. They are Top40 Airplay Monitor, Country Airplay Monitor, Rock Airplay Monitor and R&B Airplay Monitor.
