Chart-Reporting Stations
The Key To National Distribution
There are basically two divisions of radio stations, those that "chart-report" to the people who make up the national charts, and those who do not. The "Chart-Reporting" stations report the addition ("adds") of new CD titles for airplay, and rotation of the discs. Rotation is usually classified into light, medium, or heavy rotation, and refers to the amount of airplay the disc receives.
The chart-reporting stations are important because they compile a weekly cumulative total of "adds" (CDs added for airplay) which are printed in national chart lists read by distributors and retailers throughout the country. However, this "add total" is only cumulative for the week, meaning that adds don't carry over week to week, and a CD title can only be added once. So if you get one radio station to add your CD this week, your total would be one. If a second station added it next week, your total would still be one. If ONE station a week added your CD for twenty weeks, your total would still be ONE.
BUT IF TWENTY STATIONS ADD YOUR CD IN ONE WEEK, your total would be TWENTY. (ALL in the SAME WEEK!) The higher the add total within one week, the better your chances of receiving chart results.

When we distribute CDs, we ship out to all chart-reporting stations in your style of music to arrive within the same week, so the window of time that stations receive your CD is within the week. As stations add it, your chart total mounts. The goal is to add as many stations as possible in a short time, so charting will occur. Should your CD chart, it will be much easier to attract national distributors, help in sales, and possible touring to the cities playing your CD. And even if it doesn't chart, our tracking card system will get back to you written proof of adds and airplay to send to the distributors. When they see national airplay, or regional airplay in their area, it is a helpful proof for future CD sales.
CEXTON RECORDS has had tremendous success with radio distribution for our own releases. Now you can have a chance at the same success through our radio distribution packages.
