So, how do these music charts work? Unlike streaming-based listings, they feed on fan calls and votes from the web. Since 2016, the first edition of LOS40 Music Awards took place (formerly called ‘Los 40 Principales Awards), and it was presented to a large audience. “LOS40” are found in ten other countries, being the most important radio locations in Spain and Latin America, currently broadcasting both by FM and by streaming. It has received many awards and acknowledgements since the 80s. Coming to light in Spain as a radio program and then a 24/7 station, they selected the 40 biggest songs of the moment. Previously called “Los 40 Principales”, this is the top 40 for Spanish-speaking countries.
The Official Music Charts can be accessed via the Internet or by listening to the most important radio stations in each part of the world such as BBC1, American Roots, WBGO, SiriusXM, Kiss FM, Frisky Radio, etc. The leaders are the USA and the UK, with Official Top 40 Music Charts that can be found on the Internet and broadcasted from radio and record companies. Simply – these charts showcase the top 40 songs of the moment! These types of music charts are located in almost all countries with a strong music industry. From Dance songs that brought new masses into festivals to the large number of uprising Reggaeton stars that are beating some of the most influential icons of the last 3 decades like Madonna or Daft Punk. We were able to check that in 2010’s-decade-tops of everything. Even though today we look at the old top-notch hits (disco, synth-pop, dark, grunge and so on) as being from a certain decade, some time in the future, the current lists of ‘music bangers’ will be seen the same way. Music charts define the lines of a long story that we might call “The Yearbook” of music.
Music charts are basically a momentum-measurement for songs, either in the mainstream or underground. Over the last two decades, the way that music charts work has changed. Finally, in 2013, Billboard announced that its charts would also include YouTube video data. Then, in 2012, they changed the methodology for their country, rock, Latin, and rap charts, when it incorporated sales of digital downloads and streaming plays into what had been airplay-only charts. In 2007, Billboard allowed the Hot 100 chart to include digital streams. Starting in 2005, Billboard began including digital downloads as a factor, meaning that radio airplay wasn’t needed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
