I noticed during the close of todays show that Casey mentioned the chart information came from "official airplay data reported to Mediabase 24/7 as published in USA Today".
How different is this chart compared to the R&R chart?

I have just finished to listening to the show on K-BIG 104 and found out the same thing so I tried to ta find it out at USA Today website, but could not come across anything. If somebody knows, please let me know.
As long as I have noticed, the songs at positions from 20 to 17 were the same for last week's R&R chart, whereas at #16 was Snow Patrol with "Chasing Cars" they were at #15 according to the R&R's HAC chart. Blue October was at #16 instead while on AT20 they were falling down a notch today to #14 with "Hate Me". And also the Top 3 songs were not in the same order: Gnarls Barkley were at the top with "Crazy", however, The Fray and KT Tunstall were at 2 and 3 at R&R, while the other way round on today's edition of AT20.

The Mediabase charts are published on the back page of the Life section of USA Today (on Tuesdays, I think). It's actually a paid advertisement in the paper only, which is why there's no mention of it on the USA Today website.
As robert mentioned, the R&R charts (which now use BDS data) and Mediabase charts are very similar. Any differences are mainly due to the different station panels that each monitoring service uses for their charts.
