How is the Top Hits Online chart compiled?
The chart is compiled from personal charts all over the web. Every chart position on every personal chart is used, no matter how large the chart. For each song, points are awarded based on where the song is positioned (more points for #1, fewer points for #10). When all chart data for each week is compiled, the total points for each song is divided by a coefficient which is a function of the total possible chart points for that week. This formula creates a score usually ranging from 0 to 150 for each song. This score is standardized, allowing comparisons with scores from other chart weeks.
