ABOUT THE CHART
The Official Charts reflect the highest-selling and streaming songs of the week and are based on a combination of physical and digital sales and on-demand audio streams collated from music providers throughout the country. The Hot Charts also include radio airplay and reflect the songs achieving the greatest week-on-week growth.
RadioScope collects the raw retail and streaming data on which The New Zealand Music Chart is based. For a detailed explanation of the processes and methodology applied, please refer to the Official Chart rules (below).
