Voting Rules & Fair Use
The AirPlay Top 20
Last updated:14th Jan 2026
The AirPlay Top 20 is a listener-powered chart designed to reflect genuine audience engagement. These Voting Rules & Fair Use guidelines exist to ensure the chart remains fair, transparent, and enjoyable for everyone.
1. Who Can Vote
Voting in the AirPlay Top 20 is open to everyone. You do not need to pay, register, or belong to any organisation to take part.
Votes may be submitted via:
Messages
Song requests on air
Listener engagement that contributes to airplay across participating stations
2. How Votes Are Counted
Chart positions are calculated using a combination of activity from the previous seven days, including:
Listener votes submitted by message or email
Song requests made on air
Verified listener engagement
The number of times a track is played across participating stations
This blended approach ensures the chart reflects real listener behaviour, not a single voting method.
3. Fair Use & Voting Limits
To keep voting fair:
Multiple votes for the same song from the same person in a short period may be limited or discounted
Automated, bulk, or scripted voting is not permitted
Attempts to manipulate results may result in votes being removed
The AirPlay Top 20 reserves the right to apply reasonable limits where necessary to protect the integrity of the chart.
4. No Paid Influence
The AirPlay Top 20 does not accept payment, gifts, or incentives in exchange for chart placement, voting influence, or airplay.
There is no “pay-to-play”
There is no label or industry bias
Chart positions cannot be bought
If a song appears in the chart, it is because listeners supported it.
5. Artist & Campaign Behaviour
Artists, labels, and promoters are welcome to encourage listeners to vote, provided it is done fairly and transparently.
The following are not permitted:
Fake accounts or false identities
Vote farming or incentive-based voting
Misleading claims about guaranteed chart positions
Breaches may result in votes being excluded or tracks being removed from consideration.
6. Chart Decisions
All chart calculations and editorial decisions are made by Wrexham City Creative, who own and operate the AirPlay Top 20.
While we aim for accuracy and fairness at all times, chart decisions are final.
7. Changes to These Rules
Voting rules and fair use guidelines may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in technology, listening habits, or platform use. Any updates will be published on this page.
