Jump to navigation Jump to search A record chart, also known as a music chart, is a method of ranking music judging by the popularity during a given russian single chart of time. Record charts are compiled using a variety of criteria. Some charts are specific to a particular musical genre and most to a particular geographical location.

The most common period of time covered by a chart is one week, with the chart being printed or broadcast at the end of this time. Summary charts for years and decades are then calculated from their component weekly charts. Reviewers often describe records using round number milestones within a chart. For example, a record that peaks at number 7 may be called a “Top 10” hit, even when there is no chart limited to only the top 10 records in that particular location.
