Sverigetopplistan

Sverigetopplistan, earlier known as Topplistan and Hitlistan and other names, is since October 2007 the Swedish national record chart, based on sales data from Swedish Recording Industry Association (in Swedish Grammofonleverantörernas förening).

History

For the period, 1976 to 2006, the official Swedish Music Charts was published by Sveriges Radio P3, a station owned by Sveriges Radio. At the end of 2006, it stopped publishing the general charts entrusted in the beginning of 2007 to Swedish Recording Industry Association. However Sveriges Radio P3 continued to publish the most downloaded music charts according to the statistics compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. That new strictly-download chart was called DigiListan.

Since late 2006 the chart has included legal downloads. On October 29, 2010 the chart became the first in the world to include music streaming.

Charts published

Until 28 October 2004, charts were published weekly on Fridays. At that date the publication day was moved to Thursday until end of 2008. Starting January 2 2009, the chart was reverted back to Fridays. Starting 10 January 2011, charts are being published Mondays.

Presently the following charts are included:

• Singles Top 60
• Albums Top 60
• DVDs Top 20
• Ringtones Top 20

1976–2006 the sales chart was broadcast on Sveriges Radio P3. From 2007, P3 only presents sales data for digital downloads (DigiListan), tracked by Nielsen SoundScan.
