The
Hotdisc chart is compiled from DJs and industry professionals' ratings
of songs currently being promoted by Hotdisc. It is not an airplay chart,
as airplay charts cannot work in Europe due to there only being three
country stations in this region. The hundreds of country shows on (usually)
once-a-week are likely to play a particular song twice at most in a
three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant
in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop
country stations but it cannot work here.
The
Hotdisc chart is put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who
give scores to every song on the last three months' Hotdiscs. The scores
are totalled up and averaged out per week to give an accurate guide
to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is
to showcase the songs which the DJs and media people are pinpointing
as top quality songs. Simply, the chart is a survey for the benefit
of our clients and a useful
tool for DJs and free from politics!
