As there is a weekly thread for year-to-date singles and albums, I thought I'd create one for airplay too. :)

 

I've added together the weekly figures from the Top 100, to create a YTD total. It won't be 100% accurate, as once a song falls out of the Top 100, it's impossible to guess what it's audience might be.

 

The number ones on the airplay chart so far this year have been:

 

Joe McElderry - The Climb (1 week)

Lady GaGa - Bad Romance (3 weeks)

Owl City - Fireflies (4 weeks)

Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind (Part II) (2 weeks)

JLS - One Shot (1 week)

Cheryl Cole - Parachute (2 weeks)

Scouting For Girls - This Ain't A Love Song (5 weeks)

Plan B - She Said (3 weeks)

 

Here's the YTD Top 40. Like the weekly airplay charts, it's ranked in order of total audience.

Good idea. Thanks for posting :)

Not at all surprised by the top 10! Especially Empire State of Mind, it's so overplayed, it's shocking! And what doesn't help, is that everybody considers it a different song to Jay-Z's version, so you often hear both song played, like half an hour apart or something.

 

And Meet Me Halfway has climbed up one place!?! It is an absolutely amazing song, so I don't mind, but it's weird that it's overtaken the much more recent Rude Boy.

 

Also, why is the OP post #2, the 2nd post #4 and my post #6?

It hasn't overtaken Rude Boy, if you look they both overtook Iyaz as did Pixie Lott.

Oh, that makes more sense. :lol: Yeah, I've actually barely heard Replay on the radio lately. I heard it all the time in December/January.

Interesting, thanks. Weird to see Morning Sun and 10/10 in there, considering neither even made the sales top 40.

Interesting... thanks for adding. Both Kings of Leon tracks still in there.

I guess no-one told them they were released in *2008*... :P
