I never chart. EVER. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't stick to the same set of tracks every time I spin. Well, that, and the fact that I just don't understand how it should be done properly.

For those of you who do chart, what determines which tracks show up on that chart and who do you report it to?

I generally pick the ones i play regularly, and post it on myspace, UGH, here and a couple of other places : )

I choose whatever tracks are really moving me at the moment.  Charts are also a bit political though...It's an avenue to get exposure for yourself and your friends.

OK but are there any companies that you would benefit from reporting your charts to? AKA should you report your charts to anybody in particular? Otherwise, just stick to posting what you play more heavily on your website?

When I do charts,  I report to all the major EDM magazines,  culture websites that publish charts,  as well as whatever labels and artists I'm charting.

THAT's what I needed to know. Thank you.

No prob!  Glad to help

what is the benefit of reporting to culture websites and EDM magizines?

people see it, if you picked really quality tracks. people will start to notice that and begin trusting your selection.
on the flipside, if someone who is trusted charts your tracks, it opens up a new avenue for marketing...
its just good all the way around.
