History edit
The Croatian Phonographic Association was founded in June 1995.[4] During the 90's they only issued certifications based on sold albums.[4] Their first chart wouldn't be published until January 2006 when the first issue of the Top of the Shops albums chart was announced.[5] Seven years later, in January 2013 the first issue of the HR Top 40 airplay based singles chart was published.[6] At that time both charts functioned as separate projects by the Croatian Phonographic Association; on 9 July 2015 they were combined into one project and grouped together as the official Croatian charts with the title Top lista.[7] The same day, six regional sub-charts of the HR Top 40 were published.[8] Furthermore, the combined albums chart with both international and domestic artists went defunct, while both separate charts continued to be published.[8] In September 2018, a monthly chart with the 10 best selling domestic and international vinyl editions has been set up.[9]
The Croatian Airplay Chart is a foreign based airplay chart published and issued weekly by the Croatian national broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT).[10] Since 2002 it has been publishing weekly updates of the hundred most played international songs in Croatia.[11] In May 2017, HRT and the Croatian Phonographic Association reached an agreement where the Croatian Airplay Chart was included as one of the charts of the Top lista project.[12] The full list of hundred songs continued to be published on HRT's website, while a shortened list with forty spots started to be updated on Top lista's website.[13]
From September 2017 until March 2020, Top lista published a monthly top 20 streaming chart based on data from Deezer.[14][15]
