The World Chart Airplay is based on the weekly Top 40 lists presented by The World Chart Show, that was a highly influential program broadcasted in over 120 countries around the world, making it one of the most widely listenedto radio shows of its time.

As the yearend chart represented a global audience, it provided a fascinating insight into the collective musical tastes and trends that shaped the international music landscape in 1998.
