The study will combine radio airplay “spin” data with “Top Swaps.” This combined analysis of Nielsen Entertainment’s BDSradio.com resources; digital, terrestrial, and satellite airplay data and BigChampagne’s P2P measurement, will provide both the radio and record industries with a unique matrix of music consumption measurement.

Record labels and music programmers rely on Nielsen Entertainment’s BDS for information about radio and video airplay.
BDS provides data that Billboard magazine uses to determine its airplay and sales charts. Affiliated Nielsen Entertainment companies SoundScan, VideoScan and BookScan carry point-of-sale information in the music, video and book publishing arenas respectively.
