Monitored: Chart / New & Active / Most Added / Most Increased / Recurrent Chart

Songs ranked by number of plays. Bullets awarded to songs showing an increase in plays over the previous week, regardless of chart movement. A song will also receive a bullet if its percentage loss in plays does not exceed the percentage of monitored station downtime for the format. A song that has been on the chart for more than 20 weeks will generally not receive a bullet, even if it registers an increase in plays. Airpower awarded to songs appearing in the top 20 on both the Airplay and Audience charts for the first time with increases in both plays and audience. Most Increased Plays awarded to the song with the largest increase in plays. Most Added awarded to the song registering the most new adds (for stations belonging to companies with policies preventing reported adds, seven or more plays for the first time this week constitutes an add). A song with a gain in plays over the previous week is placed first if tied with a song with a decline over the same period. When tied songs are each gaining plays or each losing plays, the song being played on more stations is placed first. Songs below the top 15 become recurrents and are removed from the chart after 20 weeks.
