What constitutes a hit used to be just about weekly airplay and sales; and for decades Nielsen/Billboard produced the only charts that mattered. Now, upstart BuzzAngle Music is challenging both Billboard's chart supremacy and the frequency at which it measures data.

There are over 230,000 different chart combinations possible for each week in the album and song charts, and over 400 chart combinations each week in the artist charts.
