Moldovan group Carla's Dreams (member pictured in 2018) was the most-successful act on the Airplay 100 in the 2010s with nine number-one singles.
The Airplay 100 was the national music chart of Romania until its cancellation upon its 28 November 2021 issue.[1][2] It was compiled weekly by broadcast monitoring service Media Forest, and measured the airplay of songs on radio stations and television channels throughout the country.[3] Since its launch on 26 February 2012, the Airplay 100 had been broadcast on-air each Sunday as a radio show on Kiss FM hosted by Cristi Nitzu.[4][5] The chart replaced the Romanian Top 100, which was also based on airplay data and had a similar compilation,[6] in 2012.[7][8]
During the 2010s and early 2020s, 118 singles have reached the number-one position, the first being "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" in 2012 by Brazilian singer Michel Teló. "Astronaut in the Ocean" (2019) by Australian rapper Masked Wolf has spent 13 weeks at the summit, longer than any other song. Multiple artists reached number one with several singles in a calendar year, most notably Moldovan musical project Carla's Dreams with four in 2016—"Te rog", "Sub pielea mea", "Acele" and "Imperfect". The most successful act was Carla's Dreams with nine number ones, followed by Romanian recording artist Smiley with four.
Cat Music have had a large impact on Romanian broadcasting starting with the chart's establishment year, having signed artists such as Smiley, 3 Sud Est, Elena Gheorghe and Voltaj. Every year, the label has released songs that have gone on to be featured on the list of the most broadcast ones in Romania.[9]Global Records are also notable, having signed Inna, Delia and Carla's Dreams.[10] The chart's last number one was "Rita" by Romanian singers Connect-R and Smiley.
Andreea Bănică (pictured) and Laurențiu Duță reached the top of the charts with "Shining Heart" for 7 weeks, the record of 2012."I Follow Rivers" by Lykke Li (pictured in 2008) was the best-performing song of 2012 on the Airplay 100, despite not reaching number one."Inevitabil va fi bine" by Andra (pictured in 2015) was 2013's most-played song in Romania.Pharrell Williams's (pictured in 2017) "Happy" was the most-aired song in Romania in 2014."Are You With Me" by Lost Frequencies (pictured) was 2015's most played on Romanian radio and television.French recording artist Imany's (pictured in 2011) "Don't Be So Shy" topped the Airplay 100 for 12 weeks in 2016."Shape of You" by English singer Ed Sheeran (pictured in 2013) was the most-aired song of 2017 in Romania."Him & I" by American rapper G-Eazy (pictured in 2015) and singer Halsey was announced as 2018's most-aired song in Romania.Puerto Rican singers Pedro Capó (pictured) and Farruko's "Calma" spent ten weeks at the summit of the chart in 2019.
