Due to the number of potential entries of individual tracks into the chart, certain rules have been required to be introduced to 'categorise' certain tracks.  The rules continue as follows...

• All preliminary requests are added together in a cumulative format for the entire calendar year. This is to be done as the first activity for compilation of the chart.

• If a tie occurred between individual placing of tracks, the tie will be decided on historical sales data, encompassing on highest chart entry followed by duration within Top 75.

• For classical pieces, the composer shall be listed in the absence of an "artist".

• For theatrical pieces, the show name shall be listed instead of an artist with exception to the following case:

  • If a single track from the listed show was commercially released with reference to a specific artist, this shall take precedence over the show name.

  • If the track is referred under an "opera" category, the composer shall be listed in the absence of an "artist".

If you feel there are any discrepancies, or if you have any further questions with regards to scenarios of tracks being included into the chart, please contact us for further discussion.
