It uses the iTunes top songs chart of 23 countries. Each country has the same weight. To calculate the points, the following formula is used: pts = exp(-0.02 * (x-1))*1000 rounded to the nearest integer, where x is the iTunes position. In numbers, this means:
And quickly becomes negligible for very low positions. Only the highest charting version of a song counts. Because there are 23 countries, the theoretical maximum is 23000 points, which happens when a song is #1 in each country.
Thank you so much! And thanks for doing this too! I follow your Itunes US chart regularly! Keep it up! :heart:
the charts for the UK come out Sunday. From what day to what day does it track digital sales ???
It's Sunday to Sunday. RAI only sort of appeared near the top today/yesterday so providing it doesn't fall or anything then it should go in somewhere in the 30s this week then rise the week after

The latter (California Gurls) is on the verge of becoming the year's top selling download with 3.6 million sold. Its sum falls just shy of 2010's best-seller: Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" (3.8 million).
These two could possibly be heading for the top ten. I don't think Magic's gonna stay too much longer there. I would say Mine too, but isn't she performing it?
I can see it smashing!
