PrimeCuts Monthly

PrimeCuts has been delivering the hits on a weekly basis for more than 8 years. Now PrimeCuts is available as a monthly service with one CD a month that contains the best songs from PrimeCuts. PrimeCuts Monthly includes songs that chart Top 10 for Top 40/CHR, Urban, Rock and Country. Also included are 1-2 Dance songs per month. Subscriptions to PrimeCuts Monthly are $150 a year (there is no discount for paying yearly) and includes free access to PrimeCuts+.

 Here are some answers to the most common questions about PrimeCuts Monthly:
 

Q. How is PrimeCuts Monthly programmed?
A. It includes songs that chart top 10 from Top 40/CHR, Urban, Rock, Country. CHR, Urban, Rock & Country will be programmed based on data from Mediabase radio airplay charts. Since there isn’t a Mediabase Dance chart those songs will be programmed based on various Dance charts.
 

Q. Where can I find release dates, data files and past inserts?
A.
All of that information is available using SongSearch or for current subscribers in PrimeCuts+.


Q. What is the difference between PrimeCuts & PrimeCuts Monthly?

A.
PrimeCuts was designed for DJs who need all the hits as fast as possible. For instance, DJs who provide their services to schools, colleges, skate centers, clubs, bars and other younger crowds usually prefer our PrimeCuts service. PrimeCuts Monthly is geared towards DJs who focus on weddings & other events where adults are the main group in attendance. We do have many wedding-only DJs who subscribe to our PrimeCuts service--so it really depends on your individual needs.

PrimeCuts ships every week (52 issues a year) whereas PrimeCuts Monthly ships once a month (12 issues a year). As a result, songs that chart high enough  will appear on PrimeCuts Monthly about 6-8 weeks after our weekly clients have them. Also, there are no guarantees to what we’re servicing (like there is with PrimeCuts where we guarantee every song in the top 30 from AC, CHR, Urban, Rock & Country). While we will service the top tracks, if in a certain month we only give you the top 5 Urban songs and you get a request for a song that is 15 or 20 on the chart you won’t have it (whereas you would’ve with PC). If you are ok with all of that and are ok with occasionally possibly needing to buy a new song  because it hasn't been on PrimeCuts Monthly yet then it might be a good service for you.
 

Q.  When will PrimeCuts Monthly be shipped?
A.
PrimeCuts Monthly will ship by the 7th of every month.
 

Q.  How many songs will be on PrimeCuts Monthly?
A.
It will vary from month-to-month but basically we'll put as much as we can fit (about 18 to 20 songs).
 

Q. Are there any discounts?
A.
Due to the very low cost of the subscription there aren't any discounts for PrimeCuts Monthly.
 

Q. Will PrimeCuts Monthly CDs be on CD-R discs like your other services?
A.
Yes.
By burning the CDs in-house we can continue to add songs up until the day before we send to mastering/production. This allows us to give you the absolute latest top songs at shipping time from each format. We have been burning our CDs in-house for more than 10 years, over which time we have shipped millions of burned CDs. We are confident with the quality CD-R discs that we use.
 

Q. How do I pay?
A.
If you are only getting PrimeCuts Monthly we require payment up-front for the entire year. If you are getting it with any of our other PrimeCuts series, HitDisc or VidDisc you can pay monthly or yearly. 


Q.
Is anything else included?
A.
Why yes….free access to PrimeCuts+!
