UKHot40: Big Beats Chart

UKHotList, originally Hit40UK and UKHot40 was a televised Top 40/20 chart show produced by The Box Plus Network for 4Music, The Box and Box Hits.

The show was originally based on Hit40UK, a former radio chart show that aired from 2003 until 2009. Unlike the official UK Singles Chart broadcast by BBC Radio 1, the Hit40UK chart included only the digital downloads and airplay in the UK, whereas the Official Chart includes physical, audio streams and download sales with no radio airplay.

From 2015-2023, the show, then known as UKHotList, was complied by Spotify and counted down the most streamed tracks of the week on the platform. Plus there were other versions of the show such as UKHotList: Kiss Edition, a version of the show on Kiss TV, and UKHotList of (year), where the most streamed tracks of the year were counted.

The UK singles chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company (OCC), on behalf of the British record industry, listing the top-selling singles in the United Kingdom, based upon physical sales, paid-for downloads and streaming. The Official Chart, broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and formerly MTV, is the UK music industry's recognised official measure of singles and albums popularity because it is the most comprehensive research panel of its kind, today surveying over 15,000 retailers and digital services daily, capturing 99.9% of all singles consumed in Britain across the week, and over 98% of albums. To be eligible for the chart, a single is currently defined by the Official Charts Company (OCC) as either a 'single bundle' having no more than four tracks and not lasting longer than 25 minutes or one digital audio track not longer than 15 minutes with a minimum sale price of 40 pence. The rules have changed many times as technology has developed, the most notable being the inclusion of digital downloads in 2005 and streaming in July 2014.
