European Top 44 Airplay Chart - Radio

Juan Carlos Ara · 09-11-2009, 13:19

According to its web site, the syndicated show is aimed to FM stations ( no to online stations).

Quote:

Compiled on data collected from 40 countries , the European Top 44 Chart Show is the only syndicated radio show based on popular music played across Europe, available internationally.

The licensing is territory exclusive: in one broadcasting area, only one station can obtain the show license.
Due to copyright issues, the show is NOT available to Internet-only radio stations.

My local radio station , Puerto Gelves Radio 94.3 FM, Gelves, Seville, Spain , takes it on the weekends, 4 to 8 pm.

Does anybody know on what more stations, all over Europe, the show is given?.

Thanks.

Top 44?

It's completely random and bonkers to have a top 44!

Assuming this is syndicated on commercial stations, they'd have to have the show on for about 4 hours, unless it's like Radio 1's Chart and several tracks are missed, and/or the tracks that are played at cut short.

I see it's based on airplay.

Well then that makes it a bit pointless imo, for a real chart at least.

I'll guarantee that no commercial station in the UK ever takes this programme.

Why? Well if the data comes from nearly 40 European countries, and it's based on air play only, there's bound to be a few tracks in there that are not sung in English. 99.9% of music on UK radio is sung in English - otherwise they won't play it, especially if it's not selling in the UK chart, or was a previous hit in the UK Chart.

It might be syndicated on a few stations in mainland Europe, but it'll never cut the mustard here.

Well, I did not link the web site.

The show is 4 hours long and , at least the top 10 ( which the web site shows suits the UK radio market)

Yes, that thing of Top 44 is weird.

There is a chart show on a Spanish Dance Radio Station ( Máxima FM) which is that weird, too.

Máxima 51 Chart
