The Hot Chart uses the following logic for publication:
To qualify for the chart, a song must have spins from a minimum of 2 reporting stations. Songs not yet qualified may appear on the “Bubbling Under” list to reflect airplay.
Songs that have been on the chart more than 26 weeks are automatically moved to the Recurrent chart. The Recurrent chart shows the 20 most-spun songs over 26 weeks old (since chart debut). The 26 week threshold may change according to a vote of reporting stations. Recurrent chart is new as of 2-15-26 and will take several weeks to fully populate.

The chart reflect airplay for the previous Monday-Sunday week and is tabulated on or before 2pm the following Monday. Most charts are published immediately at 12:01am on Mondays unless verification of spins is needed.
