What is the difference between HitDisc & PrimeCuts?
A . The biggest difference is when the songs are added to each disc. The A, B, C, L & UK series of HitDisc are designed for radio stations who need to get on new music fast—before they’re a hit. As such, we “add” new music to those discs the very week the songs are released by the labels. In most cases this is two to three weeks before the songs appear on any chart…and, in some cases, there are songs that never appear on any chart. Also, HitDisc usually contain the versions of the songs released by the labels meaning the edits may not be suitable for young audiences. PrimeCuts, on the other hand, focuses on songs that are charting Top 30 or are destined for the Top 30 charts. In most cases, only two or three new songs enter the chart for a particular format each week. As such, we are able to cover adds to the AC/Hot AC, CHR, Urban, Rock, Country, Dance and Christian charts all on one disc.
