This app is for music lovers that need more than the seasonal 'what did I listen to' lists of Apple Music and Spotify. Be in control of your own charts, not solely determined by (accidental) listening behaviour but carefully curated by you!

With Chart Your Music you will be able to create collections of charts (e.g. Top 40 2022, Best Albums 2022) of the music you love and then create charts ranking your songs, albums, tracks, either daily, weekly, monthly, unordered. Over time, Chart Your Music will become your musical diary. This app is for music lovers that need more than the seasonal 'what did I listen to' lists of Apple Music and Spotify. Be in control of your own charts, not solely determined by (accidental) listening behaviour but carefully curated by you. Chart Your Music supports the following features: - create collections of charts (e.g. Top 40 2022, Best Albums 2022), - define characteristics of a collection, like number of entries, colour scheme for entries moving up, down, … - add charts to a collection sequentially over time (e.g. week 2, week 3) or just unordered, - add entries to a chart manually, by searching for music or sharing music directly from Apple Music or Spotify, - get consolidated views of a collection and its entries on total points, number of chart entries, highest position and number of nr. 1 positions, - automatically sync collections between your iPhone and iPad devices using CloudKit, - and much, much more… This relaunch adds a ton of new functionality: - You can now add any playlist as a chart to your collection, not only Apple Music chart playlists. For example, you can add your daily updated Apple Music Heavy Rotations Mix to a collection, or the Billboard Top 100 playlist on Spotify to a collection. When adding a playlist, you can select whether you want to add the playlist to the collection and pick entries from it later, or immediately create a new chart from the playlist. - A ton of additional information is now available for your chart entries. Tap on the artwork in the entry details and you will find additional information the music service (iTunes, Apple Music, or Spotify) provides. On top of that you can retrieve information from other sources like Last.fm, Discogs, Genius. If there is more artwork available (for example liner notes, etc.) for a song or an album, it is displayed in cover flow. You can tap on any artwork to see a full screen version which you can drag and zoom for more details. - The app now offers integration with Last.fm. If you have configured to like/love tracks for a collection, and you actually do like/love one or more entries, these entries are also added to your loved tracks in Last.fm. If you play an entry through the app, the entry is added to your Last.fm scrobbles. You can configure your Last.fm account in Settings. - The app also integrates with the beautiful NowPlaying app; an app to explore the hidden stories behind your favourite music & enhance your listening experience. - In the Statistics screen you can now search for Artist, Entry Title amongst all entries and Chart Title amongst all charts. - Added some utility admin functions, for example to delete all reminders and to make a full backup in JSON of all your collections.
