Current CML Chart Star Scores

Updated: 12/27/09

This page will list which songs have 5-, 4-, 3-, and 2-star rating.  Chart rules state that only 5 songs each can have 5-, 4- or 3-star ratings during a week and that only 10 songs can have a 2-star rating.  If a song is on the CML Chart and is not listed, it has a 1-star rating.  Since these are the largest group of songs, I will not list those here.  However, if you visit the CML Chart Top 60 you will see what other songs are on the chart.  Each star earns the song 12 CML points when it comes to calculating the CML Chart each week.

Star Scores for the CML Chart Week 12/27/09 to 1/2/10

Note: It is impossible for a song to reach #1 on the CML Chart without a 5-Star score.  A 5-Star score does not guarantee a song will reach #1.  Moving up to a higher star score will move the song up the charts past songs with lower star scores the majority of the time, but if a song is not doing well on the Billboard or Mediabase charts, it will be limited in how successful it is here. The Star Score accounts for 60% of the CML Chart Points songs earn on the CML Chart while the other 40% is how well it is doing on the Billboard and Mediabase Charts.

5-Star songs tend to be in the Top 5 on the CML Chart, 4-Star songs fall somewhere between 6 and 10, 3-Star songs fall somewhere between 11 and 15, and 2-Star songs fall somewhere between 16 and 25.  This is a general guideline because sometimes a 4-star song can be at #5 or #4, for example, because of the way the chart works.
