CANADIAN AIRPLAY CHARTS: Where to find them?

[Battle601]

I thought it would be worthwhile to make a thread on this subject.

Since Radio and Records ceased (both print and online) back in June, I have been asked questions regarding Canadian airplay charts and where they can be attained.

Some links worth checking out:

ALL ACCESS (MEDIABASE)

www.allaccess.com/

Requires a subscription but it's free. Available for most Canadian formats.

Select Published (Canada) or All Stations (Canada) in the pull-down menu under Panel.

Same options available as U.S. formats - Rolling (7-day charts updated daily) and Published (official weekly charts each Sunday).

For some reason, it's missing charts for the Rock and Alternative formats. Available only are Top 40, Hot AC, AC, and Country.


AMERICA'S MUSIC CHARTS (MEDIABASE)
(Posted every Tuesday)

These are essentially the weekly Sunday charts, just more accessible and showing weekly spin counts.

CANADA TOP 40

BILLBOARD CANADIAN UPDATE
(Updated every Wednesday)

For Canadian music chart followers like me, this has become a very useful source.

It contains essentially all the airplay charts previously found in Radio and Records. The only catch is instead of the Top 50 songs, it was expanded recently from 25 to 40 for nearly all the formats.

It's a weekly newsletter anyone can easily subscribe to and it's free.

Click on the following link: www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/newsletter/index.jsp
then check Canadian Update and follow the procedures to subscribe.

The newsletter contains the following:
CANADIAN HOT 100

SALES & AIRPLAY CHARTS including
- Hot 100 Airplay Chart (Top 25 songs, Measures audience impressions)

FORMAT AIRPLAY CHARTS
- All-Format Airplay (Top 50 songs, almost similar to JAM! Music)
- Canada CHR/Top 40, Rock, AC, Hot AC (Top 40 songs) and Country (Top 50 songs)

In addition, other charts like:
- Hot Digital Songs (Top 25)
- Top Albums (Top 25)
- Emerging Canadian Artists (Top 30)

Here's a sneak peek of what this week's Newsletter looks like:

Anyways, these are the key links I can offer at the moment. If anybody else comes up with other interesting links worth adding, please feel free to add it to this thread!

I really hope this helps! :)

If you're craving those weekly charts you used to see on Radio and Records, here's some very good news.

www.bdsradio.com

On the main page is the section titled "BDSradio National Airplay Charts".

Click on the pull-down menu and you'll have access to charts from all the main formats for both the US and Canada.

Enjoy!

Canada may be a huge country, but unlike the US, a smaller number of radio stations, for each of the formats, meaning overall, lower spins.

Also note that only key formats (CHR, Hot AC, AC, Rock, Country) are included in the panels. That's because for other formats, the number of stations range from little to none and would not be enough to form a panel for monitoring purposes.

Of course. Canada is huge when it comes to land area, but in population, the US is nearly 10 times as much.

You can still get them off of R&R at this page:

cclamp.radioandrecords.com/RRWebSite20/Members/Formats.aspx?FormatId=15

Scroll down and you'll see the top 10 of each chart. Unfortunately, the only ones you can see the complete chart for are Hot AC and Rock. Also, if you highlight all the text, you can see the Going for Adds link.

Canadian All Format Airplay Chart from BDS now with spins & audience data:

secure.randr.com/bdsradiocharts/charts.aspx?formatid=43

It only includes current tracks though but it has a seperate recurrent tracks chart too.

I came upon this a few days ago in my web searching and thought it might be of interest to some of you. It looks like a relatively new Canadian Christian music radio airplay chart. It is being called CCRC or Canadian Christian Radio Chart. www.theccrc.com/About.html
