How The Chart Works


Each section (except the USA) has two Top 20 charts.  The First Chart lists the Top according to total number
of points it recieved according to its rank on its country's chart.  The Country Charts were determined by the combing all the charts for that country into one mega list.  Then the Top 10 of this chart were entered into the chart with a number of points equal to the opposite of its position in the chart (i.e. if it was #1 then it received 10 points).  These points were totaled together, the song which had the most points would be higher in the ranking.  In the Second chart, each of the charts used had their top 10 songs entered into a mega list (again with points opposite their position).  The points were added and the song with the most points won.  The USA chart is slightly different.  There are three categories.  Cities, which are based on the Top 10 CRH/Urban by MTV. Radio playlists and the national charts.  The National Charts are used to determine the First Top 20 Global and the Second Top 20 Global is determined by totaling the points of the USA national, city and radio lists.
I want to point out that both charts are somewhat biased towards the European Charts and against the USA. In the First Chart, Europe has a total of 20 charts, Asia has 18 charts and the USA has only 6.  In the Second Chart Europe has a total of 38 charts represented, Asia has 32 and the USA has only 22.
