Back in the days before the internet, the charts were compiled by a combination of airplay reports (how many times radio stations played a song), and sales reports (how many copies of the song were sold by record stores). The internet and downloading music changed that greatly. Now, the number of downloads of a song are also factored into its chart position, since many young people today do not buy records but prefer to listen to them on their devices.
