{{short description|Finnish music chart}} {{expand Finnish|date=June 2023}} The '''Official Finnish Charts''' ({{langx|fi|Suomen virallinen lista}}; {{langx|sv|Finlands officiella lista}}) are national record charts in Finland compiled and published by Musiikkituottajat – IFPI Finland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ifpi.fi/uutiset/arkisto/akt-n%20nimi%20muuttuu%20-%20aanitemyynti%20kaantyi%20nousuun|title=ÄKT:n nimi muuttuu – Äänitemyynti kääntyi nousuun|publisher=Musiikkituottajat – IFPI Finland|language=fi|access-date=2013-08-26|archive-date=2016-11-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161120000407/http://ifpi.fi/uutiset/arkisto/akt-n%20nimi%20muuttuu%20-%20aanitemyynti%20kaantyi%20nousuun|url-status=dead}}</ref> The name ''Suomen virallinen lista/Finlands officiella lista'' (lit. "the Official Finnish Chart"), which is singular in both Finnish and Swedish, is used generically to refer to both the albums and the singles chart, and the context (albums or songs) reveals which chart is meant.
==History== The first charts were published in 1951. In January 1991, the Yle radio station Radiomafia started to compile the first weekly chart in Finland called ''Radiomafian lista'', which was broadcast on the radio every Sunday. Prior to that, all singles and album charts in Finland had been either monthly or biweekly published sales charts.<ref>{{cite book | first= Timo | last= Pennanen |year= 2006 | title=Sisältää hitin – levyt ja esittäjät Suomen musiikkilistoilla vuodesta 1972 | edition= 1st | publisher=Kustannusosakeyhtiö Otava | location= Helsinki| isbn= 978-951-1-21053-5 | page= 8 | language= fi }}</ref> ''Radiomafian lista'' became the official Finnish charts in January 1994 when they began a partnership with Suomen Ääni- ja kuvatallennetuottajat (ÄKT) (now known as Musiikkituottajat – IFPI Finland), the umbrella organization of recording producers active in Finland. Simultaneously, they began to publish the first weekly published singles chart based on sales in Finland, as well as a chart for studio and compilation albums.<ref>{{cite book | first= Jake | last= Nyman |year= 2005 | title=Suomi soi 4: Suuri suomalainen listakirja | edition= 1st | publisher=Tammi | location= Helsinki| isbn= 951-31-2503-3 | page= 18 | language= fi }}</ref> This move effectively killed the competition from the other chart compilers and by 1995, the Official Finnish Charts were the only sales charts published in Finland.
== Charts == Presently the following weekly charts are composed and published by Musiikkituottajat, according to sales and streaming:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ifpi.fi/uutiset/arkisto/suomen-virallinen-singlelista-uudistuu---musiikin-tilauspalvelut-mukaan|title=Suomen Virallinen Singlelista uudistuu - musiikin tilauspalvelut mukaan|language=fi|date=2012-04-05|publisher=Musiikkituottajat – IFPI Finland|access-date=2013-06-24}}</ref><ref name="finnishcharts">{{cite web|url=http://www.ifpi.fi/tilastot/virallinen-lista/|title=Tilastot – Suomen virallinen lista|language=fi|access-date=2011-06-10}} Note: Click to open the PDF file "Suomen Virallisen Listan säännöt" on the right side of the page.</ref> *Albums (Top 50) (''Suomen virallinen albumilista'', the Official Finnish Albums Chart)<ref name="finnishcharts"/> *Singles (Top 50) (''Suomen virallinen singlelista'', the Official Finnish Singles Chart)<ref name="finnishcharts"/> *Mid-priced albums (Top 10)<ref name="finnishcharts"/> *Music DVDs (Top 10)<ref name="finnishcharts"/>
