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.
The first official music charts in the UK were compiled on July 14, 1952. These charts, published by the New Musical Express (NME), ranked the top singles based on sales data. This marked the beginning of organized music charting in the UK, which has since evolved into a significant aspect of the music industry.
