Hot 100 Airplay (Radio Songs)
The Radio Songs chart (previously named Hot 100 Airplay until 2014 and Top 40 Radio Monitor until 1991) is released weekly by '' Billboard'' magazine and measures the airplay of songs being played on radio stations throughout the United States across all musical genres. It is one of the three components, along with sales (both physical and the digital) and streaming activity, that determine the chart positions of songs on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. History Radio airplay has always been one of the component charts of the Hot 100. Prior to the establishment of the Hot 100, ''Billboard'' published a radio airplay chart, a singles sales chart and a jukebox play chart, the last of which was discontinued in 1959 as jukeboxes lost their popularity. During the 1960s and 1970s, ''Billboard'' continued to collect airplay data as a component of the Hot 100 but did not make the chart public. The airplay-only chart debuted as a 30-position chart on October 20, 1984, and was expanded to 40 po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
