Home / News 11/9/2005 XM Satellite Radio Expands Participation in Billboard Radio Monitor's Influential Radio Panels XM Satellite Radio | XM Satellite Radio, the nation's leading satellite radio service with more than 5 million subscribers, announced today that XM will contribute airplay data to Billboard Information Group and Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems for calculation of the Billboard Radio Monitor Adult Top 40, Modern Rock, Active Rock and R&B/Hip-Hop Charts effective with the magazine dated November 14. Earlier this year, XM's leading Top 40 channel, Top 20 on 20, began contributing data to the Billboard Radio Monitor Mainstream Top 40 Chart, marking the first time a satellite radio broadcaster has contributed data to a major national Billboard chart. Billboard Radio Monitor is the premier radio industry publication and online destination for timely news, charts and analysis. Four XM channels will contribute airplay data to Billboard Radio Monitor Radio Panels, including MIX (XM Channel 22), XM's modern hits channel, which will contribute data to the Adult Top 40 Chart. XM's alternative rock channel, Ethel (XM Channel 47), will contribute data to the Modern Rock Chart and Squizz (XM Channel 48) will contribute data to the Active Rock Chart. In addition, The City (XM Channel 67), XM's Urban Top 40 channel, will provide airplay data to the R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. The addition of XM airplay data marks the first time that a satellite radio broadcaster has contributed data to Billboard Radio Monitor's Adult Top 40, Modern Rock, Active Rock or R&B/Hip- Hop Charts. "Reporting our airplay data to Billboard for inclusion in national mainstream charts further demonstrates the impact of XM Satellite Radio as a major platform for music," said XM's Executive Vice President of Programming Eric Logan. "The millions of people who choose XM as their source for new music are once again playing a vital role in some of the music industry's most influential charts. We expect XM's involvement with these radio panels to expand with more XM music channels, across multiple formats, following suit and contributing airplay spins to the Billboard charts."
