Categories

The singles are measured through of their popularity on social media and actual sales that they collect worldwide from iTunes. A third factor are the radio airplay charts from several countries (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Brazil and Canada). Singles remixes are not included in the chart, while promotional singles are. The EPs are included in the top 20 albums chart, except for singles EPs, remixes EPs or EPs which contain less than four tracks.
There are also iTunes trending charts which receive updates every minute, and show what is the most downloaded female music both for singles and albums.
