Official Top 50 Pop playlist
The pop slice of the community's weekly charts, in point order
Pop on ChartFM is a global genre Top 50. It groups tracks whose tags match international pop, dance pop, synthpop, hyperpop, art pop and a long set of variants listed in the chart code.
The official playlist is the listening version of that ranking. It is not built by an editor picking the week's singles; it copies the order calculated from published charts.
The address sits on ChartFM's official Spotify profile (https://open.spotify.com/user/31cltms7ljqqkaktslykzmyvgxqu). Following that profile and sharing the playlist makes Top 50 Pop easy to find when the title picks up the new week label.
How a track becomes a position on this list
Someone publishes their main weekly chart. Each chart position awards points on the site's standard scale. In the Top 50 Pop calculation, only tracks with an eligible tag remain. The sum sets the order from 1 to 50.
If the track has tags of its own, those decide. If not, the artist's tags decide. Without either, the song stays out of Pop and out of every other genre Top 50.
It does not matter whether the song is a “hit” outside ChartFM. What matters is whether it appeared on community charts and whether the catalogue marks it with a tag from the Pop list.
Pop is not a smaller Global 100
The Global 100 mixes every genre. Top 50 Pop only counts the pop subset. A track can lead Pop and sit far from the Global 100 tip if the week is full of other styles with heavy scoring.
The opposite can happen too: a pop phenomenon holds both tips. The Pop playlist does not try to deduplicate that; it only mirrors the genre ranking.
Crossings with Electronic and Alternative
Electropop can enter Pop and Electronic. Dream pop and indie pop can cross with Alternative. When the tag sits on both lists, the track scores in both charts.
In practice, the same song can appear on the Pop playlist and on another official playlist the same week. That reflects the catalogue, not a hand-forced tie.
The playlist's job
The /global/genre/pop page shows points, movement and history. The Spotify playlist shows track order for listening. Both read the same weekly edition after sync.
Saving the playlist once is enough. In later weeks the sync replaces the tracks on the same ID. Anyone following the list gets the new edition without needing a hand-updated link.
Honest limits
A loose tag sends a track to the wrong place, or nowhere. A missing tag leaves a hit from your chart out of Top 50 Pop. And the Pop tag list is a site choice, not an industry law.
Another limit: without a Spotify ID in the catalogue, a position can exist on ChartFM and fail playlist sync. The site ranking remains the complete reference.

Frequently asked questions
- Does my chart need to be pop only?
- No. Pop tracks inside a mixed chart already count. Tracks without a pop tag do not enter this Top 50, even if they sit at the top of your list.
- Does a secondary chart count?
- Not for the global genre ranking. Only the main weekly chart.
- Does the playlist change mid measured week?
- The genre ranking follows ChartFM's publish cycle. The official playlist is rewritten from the published snapshot, not on every individual chart edit during the week.
- Why is there a track I would call electronic?
- Because its tag is also on the Pop list (for example electropop). The filter is by accepted tag, not by listener opinion.
- Where do I check the exact week?
- In the playlist title after sync and, with more detail, on the Top 50 Pop page on ChartFM.
