Hi guys! Though this thread started over 10 years ago is always good to find some portuguese people here! I'm trying to build a complete album archive. I already have a little archive. Trying to build especially from the 90s.

For those of non-portuguese, I'll try to explain how the music industry works in Portugal (if we have one). Other portuguese people correct me if I'm wrong!

Portugal has around 10 million inhabitants, but the GDP per capita is one of the lowest of the EU (at least until the last Eastern Europe arrived), so the market isn't as big as other countries with the same population!

In the 2nd half of the 90s until 2000 album sales were good in Portugal, but after that plummeted for 2 main reasons: illegal downloads and economic crisis.
In Portugal there was absolutely no control on music piracy (it was really common to see people selling pirate albums on street markets), so people were downloading music illegally as nothing was happening to them.
After 2000 Portugal started to suffer an economic crisis, and first things people cut are superfluous good - music (especially when you have a much cheaper alternative - piracy)

In late 90s the average #1 album was selling 9-10k a week and tipically the #1 was popular music (because the general public was buying music).
Such small market had to be affected with the arrival of megastores (FNAC and Worten), so traditional record stores in Portugal were closing.

In the early 00s Portugal approved legislation that forced radios to play at least 50% of portuguese music, so that's why international titles became rarer and rarer on the portuguese charts, as music purchases are heavily influenced by radio airplay. Although payola is illegal in US I seriously believe is a common system in Portugal (this is just my belief).

Another phenomenon happening in Portugal from mid-00s is the 'infantilization' of the charts, as titles such Morangos, DZRT, Floribella, Panda... were dominating charts along with music played on the AC radio (RFM, Comercial) meaning only children and adults were buying music. Teens and young people were downloading.

Something I don't understand is how such a small market divides its album chart is compilation and artists (which i'm personally against even in bigger markets like UK).

Another thing happening was that we had 2 music chart shows Top + (general albums) and Made in Portugal (portuguese music only). The thing is that the first one was compiled by AFP and only labels registered there were elegible to make into the chart, that's why a lot of musica pimba (our popular - to say the least music) were not making into the main chart (though selling thousands of records). Another curiosity is Adele's 21. Her label wasn't registered on AFP so the album debuted only in the 50th week of 2011 (though being always in the top 10 of FNAC).

This is a reflection on the music market, but also a big criticism of our (lack of) music industry, being AFP a joke!

Portugal is a small coutry with a small music industry. So not surprising. Afp does not even have a website anymore.

Having said that, hundreds of albums were certified back in the days and that would be great if one day someone publish the full list if it still exist.

by **thass_hot** » Thu Sep 07, 2017 6:23 pm

People in the 90s were saying that sometimes an album was already platinum by the day it was released. Certifications were given by shipments, not sales. I really doubt that they were counting unit by unit, store by store!

Before streaming appeared, certifications were based on shipments in practically EVERY country of the world.

I'm not talking about certifications, my point was that in such small country where it's easier to track sales no one know albums sales like in US and UK!

@thass_hot, I hope you succeed on your archives.

The music industry here is a hot mess. I never take the "Portuguese Singles Chart" seriously because 1) Does it truly exist? 2) Is it based on WHAT, exactly?

I ONLY remember checking the AFP website a few years ago and their only official chart was a ringtone one. :lol:

They updated it on a weekly basis. Probably doesn't even exist anymore.

by **maroon** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 11:42 am

The Portuguese singles chart does exist now and it's a Top 100 based mostly on streaming.
It can be found here: http://www.portuguesecharts.com/weekchart.asp?cat=s

Thanks, Maroon!

by **maroon** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:24 pm

You're welcome. By the way I love how the Top 2 is by Spanish-language tracks. :lol:

by **BlueScorpion** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 12:36 pm

Spanish music is all over the place here. A success in streaming platforms and radio stations also play it a lot.
Notice the only national song here goes as high as #75 on our chart.

The irony is that the album chart titles are more than 50% portuguese, but portuguese songs are nowhere to be found on the singles chart, which leads us to the question: is the album chart relevant?

by **BlueScorpion** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 1:44 pm

If in the USA an album tops the Billboard 200 with like 50k sold, can you imagine how much does a #1 selling album here? :lol:

Sure utterly irrelevant.

The same can be said about the "singles chart". It's impossible that no Portuguese songs are popular in Portugal. It's just Spotify that ruins the charts as they create playlists dominated by overplayed international hits and most people just put them on as a background of their daily activities, that's how it leads to those ridiculous charts in many countries. The same is going on in my office, if it weren't for me and some other colleagues who actually care about what's being played, we'd be listening to the fricking Bieber, Perry, Sheeran, Drake, Lovato, Rihanna and hundreds of urban starlets every day as they're just a "default choice" when putting a random "current" playlist on. Album charts are actually a breath of fresh air because in spite of sinking sales-wise they still offer a wide variety of styles, genres, artists, languages and are much more dynamic.

"Sua Cara" is at #13 though sung in Brazilian Portuguese.

But you have radios playing at least 50% of portuguese music and singles chart having few portuguese artists. General public don't choose what radios play, but they choose what they listen to... So, if radios were free to play whatever they wanted too their playlists would be different.
Singles charts all over the place passed through a lot of changes: before it was the jukebox, then the physical singles sales, digital songs, streaming... Who knows what's gonna happen in the future?

As I wrote, the problem are playlists where hardly anyone chooses particular songs.
Besides, Spotify is used by similar age groups, other people "consume" music differently (by listening to radios, buying CD's, watching YouTube etc.)
