EspañolUNITED WORLD CHART
The 'United World Chart' is a worldwide chart issued every week by 'Media Traffic', using both sales (digital and physical) and airplay to determine the most popular albums and singles in "the world". The United World Chart uses the same system as the Billboard Hot 100, in which the tracking-week for sales begins on Monday and ends on Sunday; meanwhile the airplay tracking-week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday. The newest weekly chart is therefore issued every Thursday.
In March 2007, Media Traffic ranked "Candle in the Wind 1997" as the most successful song in music history.
Starting in 1999, the first song to reach number one was "Believe" by Cher. As of June 16, 2007, the United World Chart has had 108 number one hits.
Media Traffic began displaying charts that traced back to 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago.
★ The current number one single is "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie.
★ The current number one album is "''Ketsunopolice 5''" by Ketsumeishi.
