If you're talking abhout the charts, the positions are all based on plays, and ecah week they change depending how many plays you've had. I think in the genre charts it changes on a daily basis. The actual chart changes once a week based on these "How many plays of a song you've had" basis.

Bummer...just confused myself Embarassed

All the charts.....genre charts and the overall chart are based on "weekly plays" or "last 7 days plays". This means that all the numbers will change daily. The charts count the number of plays you have had for the past "7" days and that is the number you see. Therefore, the number will be different daily.

For example if these were your counts for today (January 27th) and the previous 6 days:

(day 7) january 27th : 10 plays
(day 6) january 26th : 10 plays
(day 5) january 25th : 10 plays
(day 4) january 24th : 5 plays
(day 3) january 23rd : 5 plays
(day 2) january 22nd :5 plays
(day 1) january 21st : 5 plays

your total plays for the "past 7 days" would be 50 total plays for the week.

Tomorrow (January 28th) your counts would start on the 28th and go back to the 22nd:

(day 7) january 28th : 10 plays
(day 6) january 27th : 10 plays
(day 5) january 26th : 10 plays
(day 4) january 25th : 10 plays
(day 3) january 24th : 5 plays
(day 2) january 23rd : 5 plays
(day 1) january 22nd :5 plays

and this would make your total plays for the "past 7 days", 55 total plays.

Hope this helps!!!
