The new show will air on terrestrial radio stations around the country, giving listeners the chance to hear the most popular hits played via the PC.The show will feature the Digital Top 10 chart and the tracking methodology. Every time a music fan listens to a CD or MP3 file in a CDDB-enabled player, the Gracenote database recognizes the song or album and logs it for the global chart. In addition to playing the week's hits, the show will highlight new hits heading up the digital chart. The Gracenote Digital Countdown differs from other hit lists because it tracks actual listener behavior of CDs and MP3s, not merely CD sales. This digital chart is the first tool of its kind that I've ever seen.
