Låtlisten

Låtlisten is a music chart that aggregates streaming data to rank the most popular songs in Denmark each week. The chart was launched in 2012 by the Danish streaming service Jullens and the media company Gaffa, with the goal of providing listeners and industry professionals a clear snapshot of current listening trends. The methodology relies on data harvested from Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer, with each stream counted once per user within a 24‑hour window. Songs are then ordered by total streams, and the top 20 positions are displayed on the Låtlisten website and in accompanying newsletters.

The chart is updated every Friday, typically at 12:00 GMT, and reflects the previous week's activity. In addition to the overall leaderboard, Låtlisten publishes sub‑charts for various categories, including Danish language tracks, pop, and hip‑hop. The site also offers historical archives, allowing users to track how a particular track has performed over time. Låtlisten has been cited in Billboard, PRG for its ability to predict the 1‑track of the year, and in local press for its influence on radio playlists.

Critics have pointed out that the chart is limited to only a few streaming platforms, potentially skewing representation against audiences who use alternative services such as Amazon Music or YouTube. Nonetheless, Låtlisten remains a widely used metric for Danish music industry stakeholders, charting streaming habits and influencing promotional strategies.
