If you want to discuss chart methods extensively, start a topic on it. The french chart thread will be to discuss artists and songs charting on it, chart positions, predictions on chart debuts, etc. And that's my decision. Especially since nearly everyone finds that discussion tedious and overdone.

He's talking about continuing the discussion on the french chart thread, not here. If you want to move the discussion to your topic, then that's fine, your call.

But this is already Chartboost's thread... The thread for the official French charts is here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=123363

 

@ Chartboost: Yep, let's see what they say.

 

I received a fairly detailed explanation of the chart management of APC-stats.

The original document is in Dutch, but I have tried best to translate into English.

The compositional process of the Euro 200 is quite complex variety of reasons.

 

Over 6 years ago when we started the chart we were given some problems. As showed not every member of the European Union have their own chart based on sales. Learned from the mistakes of Billboard, but a well known company in this area, we decided not to base the chart on absolute numbers. That means in the extreme case of a track might be sold 100,000 times in Europe and yet is not # 1. The British hit parade and to a lesser extent the German-would provide the list is very dominant in our eyes and gives a false impression of the degree of popularity of a track in the entire European Union. The main objective of the chart is in fact a balanced, consistent and trendsetting image to provide the European consumer, entertainment and music industry.

 

The lack of sales lists, especially in the Eastern European states, did decided us to work with airplay. Criterion is that there is an adequate supply of participating stations to ensure diversity. In some countries, including Poland, are just album sales lists. For our Polish charter, we already used the album chart. Since April 2009 we do so for the most important charts in Europe. This methodology has been largely chosen to ensure that each country has a broad musical picture. Initially it was never the intention of APC-stats to publish the national music charts, but at the request of several radio stations in Europe we are doing so. Initially the Polish and Portuguese charts and then Belgium, Spain, Bulgaria etc.

 

The fact that we compose music pictures by country gives us the opportunity to compare them with each other and included them in the EURO 200. The additional allocation for Airplay and album sales is very different from country to country. It is clear that for the large states like Germany, France and England virtually no airplay data and additional album information is used. For other states, with no sales lists the proportion airplay and album sales are any larger.

 

Our database has calculated the percentage breakdown for the past week for you.

 

Physical Sales & downloads: 75.7%

Airplay: 15.4%

Additional Album Sales: 8.9%

 

These percentages may vary slightly each week. But you can conveniently assume that the sales ratio of 75% and 25% for the other two indicators.

We know that some people use the last two indicators utterly reject. Our friends at Billboard Airplay figures and still use the compilers of the Foundation Dutch Top 40, too. They use as a fourth indicator the Continuous Music Research (CMO).

It is regrettable that on the forums people often propositions posited that violate the truth, but that is no different. Often they do not know enough about the method of compiling the charts. To me a clean job to answer these questions as chart manager of EURO 200.

 

I do hope this contribution sufficient information and hope that if there are any questions on your discussion partners, they should contact the chart management.

 

Thanks for your interest.
