Tracklisten (The Tracklist) is a Danish top 40 record chart that is presented every Thursday midnight at hitlisten.nu. The weekly Danish Singles Chart also known as Track Top-40 combines the 40 best selling tracks from legal music downloads and the sales of music singles on either CD or vinyl. The data is collected by Nielsen Music Control, who also compile the chart on behalf of IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry).

This chart began in June 1969 after Denmark's Radio stopped publishing their weekly top 20 chart.^[1] It was compiled by Nielsen Music Control in association with the Danish branch of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and was originally published in the Copenhagen newspaper, Ekstra Bladet.

2001-2007: Hitlisten[link]

The Danish Singles Chart Hitlisten consisting of Single Top-20 and Download Top 20 was established 1 January 2001 and served as official chart for Danish record sales until end of October 2007.

2007-Present: Tracklisten[link]

The Tracklist was established November 2, 2007 replacing the Hitlisten charts that were discontinued end of October 2007.^[2] The chart is supervised by IFPI Denmark and contains two charts:

• Track Top-40 (for singles)
• Album Top-40 (for albums)

Hitlisten also continues to publish specialised charts:

• Compilation Top-10
• Bit Album Top-20
• Bit Track Top-20
• Ringtoner Top-10
• Airplay Top-20 (for radio airplays)
• Musik DVD Top-10
• Entertainment DVD Top-10
• TV-serie DVD Top-20

Tracklist was also updated back to week 1, 2007, thus creating an overlap of sometimes differing chart #1s between Hitlisten and Tracklisten for the period 1 January 1, 2007 and 2 November 2007 (weeks 1 to 42 / 2007). For this period, the Hitlisten charts continue to be considered as the official charts for singles record sales.^{[citation needed]}
