MAHASZ issues the [[Hungarian Music Awards]], awards [[music recording certification]] and maintains the [[music chart]]s for Hungary.
==Charts== Mahasz runs the following weekly charts:<ref name="charts">{{cite web |title=Hivatalos magyar slágerlisták |url=https://slagerlistak.hu/ |website=slagerlistak.hu |access-date=13 July 2022}}</ref> * Album Top 40 * Radio Top 40 * Editor's Choice Top 40 * Hungarian Radio Top 40 * Dance Top 40 * Single Top 40 * Stream Top 40
==Certification levels== Since 1 January 2018, MAHASZ combined all [[music recording certification]] into one combined "album" certifications, which includes albums and singles of all genres and origins. For Gold status an album needs to sell 2,000 units and for Platinum 4,000 units, where ten singles are counted as one album. The certification also includes streaming at a rate of 1,000 paid streams or 5,000 free streams per album.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mi számít arany- és platinalemeznek? - Arany- és platinalemezek - Hivatalos magyar slágerlisták |url=http://zene.slagerlistak.hu/arany-es-platinalemezek/mi-szamit-arany-es-platinalemeznek |website=zene.slagerlistak.hu |access-date=4 October 2019|language=hu}}</ref>
