There are large gaps in ABC's records (e.g., visit their archives and search for 18 Aug 2017) and their data is often organised incorrectly (missing composers/performers, composer listed under performer, etc....). Data becomes more complete from mid-June 2018 onwards.

ABC Classic2 often does not distinguish between composers and performers, rather categorizes them together as 'artist' and occasionally 'primary artist.' As such, most entries have the composer listed in the perfomer field. Performers generally aren't listed at all.

These lists are automatically generated using all of the data in the tracker's history. (See above for each station's date ranges.) The rankings are roughly indicitive of the stations' broadcast patterns but are not precise due to the different ways recording data is reported (e.g., some albums will list 'Christmas Oratorio' by 'Bach' whereas others will list 'Weihnachts-Oratorium' by 'Bach, J.S.')
