    1. 24-7 Legends Classic Rock England · 1 play ≈ 60 ≈ 60 listeners · Estimate from popularity

    Every play counts the number of people that was listening to that station at that moment, so a play on a big station weighs more than a play on a small webradio.

    How we calculate this

    Reach adds up, for every play in the last 7 days, the average number of people listening to that station at the same time ("listening moments"). Listener numbers come from the station's own streaming server, from figures the station gave us with proof, or from estimates: a published audience share, or for all other stations the popularity of the station on Radioguide within its country. Estimates are marked, and all numbers are rounded to two significant figures.

    The impact score (0-100) compares this reach on a logarithmic scale with the largest reach of this week, so 100 is the song or artist with the most reach. Listeners on FM and DAB are only included when the figure of the station covers them.
