Airplay
Airplay is a technical term used in the
radio industry to state how frequently a
song is being played on a
radio station. For example, a song which is being played several times everyday would be classed as receiving a large amount of airplay. The term is also used in the same way regarding
music video channels, to state how often a music video is being played.
Most countries have at least one radio airplay chart in existence, although larger countries such as the
United States of America, the
United Kingdom and
Japan have several, to cover different genres and areas of the country.
