The aim of the ARIA Charts is to reflect and inform consumer choice in a dynamic way. The purpose of the ARIA Charts is to accurately report on music consumption in Australia at any given time. This involves adjusting to changing music consumption patterns as they occur. Thus, where once the ARIA Charts were predominantly tracking physical product sales, the charts now encompass physical, digital and streaming activity.
The ARIA Charts are calculated once a week on Friday. They are based on retail recorded music sales and streaming activity within Australia for the week from the preceding Friday to the Thursday prior to calculation. The new charts are usually uploaded to the ARIA Charts website on Saturday night at 5pm (Sydney time).
