Seven Airplay Charts Debut on Billboard Canada
The Canadian Airplay charts provide insight into the music performing the best on Canadian radio, and they have a new permanent home at Billboard Canada.

Seven new charts are debuting on Billboard Canada.
The Canadian Airplay Charts, all of which track Canadian radio airplay, have found a new exclusive home at Billboard Canada's charts hub.
They'll be updated every Thursday and live alongside the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Canadian Albums chart.
The charts cover seven different types of radio airplay, diving into what's popping off in adult contemporary, country and rock across Canadian radio.
“Billboard Canada is the official home for Canadian music charts,” says Mo Ghoneim, President of Billboard Canada. “Making these airplay rankings available on our platform is part of our commitment to providing deeper insight into what’s shaping radio and music across the country.”

Together, the new charts provide a snapshot of the radio landscape, which provides a new angle on music distinct from the Canadian Hot 100.
While Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars hold the top spot on Canadian Hot 100 with "Die With a Smile," Myles Smith's "Stargazing" holds the No. 1 spot on the Canadian All Format Airplay chart at launch.
The radio charts regularly feature Canadian artists, thanks in part to Canadian content regulation. On Billboard Canada's 2024 year-end charts, radio's influence on Canadian pop was clear, uplifting rising Canadian artists like LU KALA, Preston Pablo, Josh Ross, Alexander Stewart and Jamie Fine.
We'll be covering those trends as they reveal themselves in real time. Weekly analysis of the radio charts will now accompany our regular chart beat stories tracking the Canadian Albums and Canadian Hot 100 charts and appearing in our weekly Billboard Canada FYI newsletter.
Here are the seven charts new to Billboard Canada:
The most played songs across all genres on Canadian radio per week.
The most played songs on mainstream adult contemporary radio in Canada per week.
