Such charts are a standard media fixture and resource in many media markets around the world. But until now, in India airplay charts of this kind were not available in a systematic fashion.

AirCheck India is in a unique position to compile the relevant data, as it monitors 69 commercial radio stations in India's 13 largest cities. Such information is of particular interest to the radio stations themselves, to the recording industry and to anybody who sells or markets popular music.

In addition to the Most Popular Songs overall, AirCheck intends to compile charts relating particularly to English language songs, to Bollywood titles and to Hindi Pop. AirCheck also already gathers airplay information relating to Bengali, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada songs.
