The United World Chart is a worldwide chart issued every week by Media Traffic, using both sales (digital and physical) and
airplay to determine the most popular albums and singles in "the world". The United World Chart uses the same system as the
Billboard Hot 100, in which the tracking-week for sales begins on Monday and ends on Sunday; meanwhile the airplay tracking-week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday. The newest weekly chart is therefore issued every Thursday.
