FYI Now Carrying Mediabase Canada Radio Charts

By FYI Staff

After a longstanding and fruitful relationship with BDS, owned by Luminate (formerly known as Nielsen Music), Billboard partnered with Mediabase and in doing so the era of two separate airplay monitoring charts ended in December 2022.


FYI is pleased to report a successful agreement with Mediabase effective last week that allows us access to a menu of the Top 30 charts compiled from monitoring over 450 radio stations covering multiple formats in Canada.

Details about and further research materials can be had by writing mediabase.com.
