Frequently asked questions

What is the best record of 2016 in the Dutch Top 40?

I Took A Pill In Ibiza by Mike Posner and Seeb tops the 2016 year chart, with 930 points from 30 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Mike Posner and Seeb), 2. Cheap Thrills (Sia and Sean Paul), 3. One Dance (Drake, Wizkid and Kyla), 4. Let Me Love You (DJ Snake and Justin Bieber), 5. Can't Stop The Feeling! (JT).

How is the 2016 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 2016 earns points: 41 minus the position, so 40 points for a number 1 and 1 point for number 40. The sum of those points sets the order; on a tie the peak position counts, then the number of weeks, then the earliest week. Only the weeks of 2016 count, also for a record that entered the year before or stayed on into the next year.

Is the number 1 of the year chart also the record that spent longest at number 1?

Not necessarily. The year chart counts every week in the chart, including the weeks lower in the Top 40; a record that stayed high for a long time can therefore end above a shorter-lived number 1. The number ones of 2016, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 2016 year page.

How many weeks does the 2016 year chart cover?

53 weekly charts, with 202 different records between them, twelve of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
