The Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda (English: Association of Record Manufacturers, FHF), also refereed to as the IFPI Iceland,[2] or the Icelandic National Group of IFPI,[3] is a trade association representing and protecting the rights of record publishing companies in Iceland and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) group for Iceland.[4] FHF is responsible for publishing the weekly Tónlistinn charts, Tónlistinn – Lög for singles and Tónlistinn – Plötur for albums.[5] It also provides music recording certification for Iceland.[6]

FHF operates as a division of Samband flytjenda og hljómplötuframleiðenda (SFH),[4][7] which is an organization approved by the Icelandic Ministry for Education and Cultural Affairs,[8] dealing mainly with revenue distribution to performers of sound recordings.[9] and is the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) registration authority in Iceland.[10]

Music charts

edit

FHF publishes two top 40 weekly charts, Tónlistinn – Lög for singles and Tónlistinn – Plötur for albums.[5] Single charts are based airplay on radio stations Byljgan, FM957, Xið 977, Rás 2 and K100 along with streaming on Spotify, while album charts are based on physical sales as well as streaming on Spotify.[5] In both cases, the exact details are not specified and an archive is not available. Streaming data is provided by Ranger Charts.[11]

FHF also publishes yearly top 100 charts, available since 2016.[12]

Recording certification

FHF awards record certification for both albums and singles. The award thresholds are based on the release date of the album or single.[13]

Album certification thresholds are based on physical sales, downloads and streaming. Platinum certification is also awarded for multiple of the platinum level.[13] The thresholds before 1975 are unclear, but there is some evidence that gold records were awarded for sales of 2,500 units.[13]
