Copyright violation

I suspect that reproducing the Tracklist top 10 in this article (as in todays version) constitutes a copyright violation of the original source at www.hitlisterne.dk. Therefore I will remove it. – IbLeo (talk) 15:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History of Danish Singles Chart

The following is a history of the Danish Singles Chart. I do not have many sources to verify at present so just adding to the talk page:

5 January 1979 - first official singles chart in Denmark. IFPI Danmark are behind it and it's based on shipments from distributors to retailers. Tabloid newspaper B.T. (tabloid) publish the chart every Friday. Although a Top 30 is compiled by IFPI, B.T. only publish the Top 10.
12 June 1981 - B.T. start publishing the Top 15 after months of strike.
April 1990 - B.T. who are getting increasingly dissatisfied with the charts (singles and albums alike) cut the singles chart to a Top 10 in the paper.
5 June 1992 - B.T. scrap IFPI's chart and start producing their own albums Top 20 chart based on actual sales. However, the IFPI chart is still compiled as a Top 30 and the Top 10 of it is published in Music & Media. However, the Top 30 is used by Music & Media to publish the European Hot 100 Singles chart.
1 January 1993 - IFPI and AC/Nielsen Marketing Research begin running tests on new official charts based on actual sales in 80 stores in Denmark.
5 March 1993 - The new official charts are launched. Music & Media write about this on 16 January 1993 but do not implement the charts until 10 July 1993. Here [1] they write about this again (on page 4). The chart is compiled as a Top 50 by IFPI/Nielsen but B.T only publish the Top 20 and Music & Media only publish the Top 10. However, the Top 50 is used by Music & Media to publish the European Hot 100 Singles chart.
From week 15 in 1996 the Top 20 published in B.T and the top 20 songs in the Top 50 are NOT the same songs. This is because the Top 20 (the official chart that everybody gets to see while the Top 50 is kept internally and given to Music & Media) was based on two week sales to keep the chart stable in a small market like Denmark.
This stops, however, in 2000 where the Top 20 published in B.T and the top 20 of the Top 50 align again.
1 November 2007 - After years of deteriorating singles sales (CD's) in Denmark downloads are finally implemented in the official charts meaning Tracklisten Top 40 becomes the new official chart. It has since been backtracked to become the official chart from 12 January 2007. The singles Top 20 sales chart is dropped. Trine Dyrholm charts for 135 weeks with the EP "Mr. Nice Guy" including 62 ridiculous weeks at number one. A complete shambles in Danish chart history.
[Some time in] 2011 - a Streaming Top 20 chart is launched.
14 November 2014 - download figures have gone down and streaming has completely taken over. From this date streaming is implemented into the official singles chart. No change since.QuintusPetillius (talk) 20:52, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
