About JazzWeek

JazzWeek is the definitive Jazz and Smooth Jazz national radio airplay chart—a weekly report of the top fifty Jazz and Smooth Jazz recordings played on radio stations across the United States and Canada.

We're here to do our part to strengthen the jazz and smooth jazz radio formats, and to improve the connections between radio stations, record labels—large and small—and retailers.

Radio reporters and industry subscribers receive the weekly Jazz Fax or Smooth Fax with the current chart each Friday.

Industry subscribers have access to detailed radio airplay data in a password-protected area of this site. Each Friday, the current Jazz and Smooth Jazz charts are posted, along with each station's individual report. Airplay data for each release is provided each week showing week-by-week spins and stations reporting the release. Subscribers to this section can also download each week's chart for importing into a spreadsheet.

Radio reporters have access to the Radio section of the website. There, radio reporters can view the airplay reports from other stations. A listing of current and upcoming releases is found in that section also. The radio section also features upcoming jazz birthdays as a help for show prep.

Both the Radio and Industry sections include a directory of Jazz and Smooth Jazz stations. In the near future, an industry directory will be included.

Public areas of the JazzWeek site include the previous week's chart, which is released the Thursday after the current chart's Friday publication date, as well as news and feature sections. News and feature submissions are welcome from writers, labels, artists, promoters, and radio stations.

JazzWeek will also helps tie radio play to retail. National and local retailers will receive the weekly Jazz and Smooth Jazz faxes. Specific airplay reports reflecting areas in which retail chains have outlets can also be provided on a subscription basis.
