A '''record chart''', also known as a '''music chart''', is a method of ranking [[music]] judging by the [[popularity]] during a given period of time. Examples of record charts are the [[Hit parade]], [[Hot 100]] or [[Top 40]]. Although primarily a marketing or supermarketing tool like any other [[sales]] statistic, they have become a form of popular media culture in their own right.
Record charts are compiled using a variety of criteria. These commonly include sales of [[Gramophone record|records]], [[cassettes]] and [[compact discs]]; amount of [[radio]] airplay; requests to radio [[disk jockeys]]; voting for songs by the radio listeners and, recently, number of [[music downloads|downloads]].
Some charts are specific to a particular [[musical genre]] and most to a particular geographical location. The most common period of time covered by a chart is one week, with the chart being printed or broadcast at the end of this time. Summary charts for years and decades are then calculated from their component weekly charts. [[Component chart]]s have become an increasingly important way to measure the commercial success of individual songs.
Reviewers often describe records using [[round number]] milestones within a chart. For example, a record that peaks at number 7 may be called a "Top 10" [[hit single|hit]], even when there is no chart limited to only the top 10 records in that particular location.
