CHi INDEPENDENT CHART

How The Chart Is Compiled, And Why It Is Done This Way.

This Is A List Of The Top 40 Most Popular Songs Released On The Hotdisc Promotional Label. Each Week Djs And Media People Send Back Their Reaction Sheets Where They Are Given The Chance To Rate Every Song From 10pts To 0pts. This Chart Records The Songs With The Highest Ratings.

This Is A Chart Exclusively For Clients Of The Chi "Hotdisc" Compilation CD. The Data Used Will Be Provided Exclusively From Reaction Sheets Sent In To This Office By Djs And Media People All Over The World Who Receive The Chi Cd Each Month.

The Chart Will Be Published Weekly, Here On Metro Country, On The Hot Country News Website And Also In Country Music Roundup And Southern Country Magazines.

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!

If you want to hear the Hotdisc Top 12 you can now do so by clicking on www.hotdisc.net/select3.htm and listening to the Hotdisc Jukebox - a new innovative feature on the Hotdisc website.
