About the Charts

Airplay Charts – are based on the number of “spins” a song gets from a group of radio stations that agree to report their data to the particular chart.  Typically, Country Aircheck and Billboard each have a mix of the biggest stations in the country, while charts like Music Row and the various Texas charts are compiled from smaller local stations with more freedom to pick their playlists that usually aren’t part of a big national conglomerate.

Most Added Charts – are based on the number of reporting stations that “added” the song to their regular rotation.

Spin Increase Charts – based on an increase of spins from current week over the previous week.

Songwriter/Producer Charts – Based on the combined chart performance of any songs they have a hand in writing/producing that are currently charting.  Some have several songs on the charts at once!

Most Increased Audience Charts – Based on # of listeners hearing the song.  This is why getting “Added” to a major market station is a big deal for new artists.

Recurrent Songs – Recent releases that have already peaked on the chart and fallen back down.  These are the top songs NOT considered “current releases”

Billboard Hot Country Songs – Blended chart taking into account radio airplay, downloads, streams, sales etc.
