Frequently asked questions
What is the best record of 2018 in the Dutch Top 40?
One Kiss by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa tops the 2018 year chart, with 897 points from 28 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. One Kiss (Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa), 2. Flames (David Guetta and Sia), 3. Shotgun (George Ezra), 4. Dura (Daddy Yankee), 5. Zoutelande (BLØF and Geike).
How is the 2018 year chart calculated?
Every weekly entry in 2018 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 2018 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 2018, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 2018 year page.
How many weeks does the 2018 year chart cover?
52 weekly charts, with 192 different records between them, nine of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
