The Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda (English: Association of Record Manufacturers, FHF), also known as the IFPI Iceland,[2] or the Icelandic National Group of IFPI,[3] is a trade association representing and protecting the rights of record publishing companies in Iceland. It also serves as the Icelandic branch of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).[4] FHF is responsible for publishing the weekly Tónlistinn charts, which include the Tónlistinn – Lög chart for singles and the Tónlistinn – Plötur chart for albums.[5] Additionally, FHF provides music recording certification in Iceland.[6]

FHF operates as a division of Samband flytjenda og hljómplötuframleiðenda (SFH),[4][7] an organization approved by the Icelandic Ministry for Education and Cultural Affairs.[8] SFH primarily handles revenue distribution to performers of sound recordings[9] and acts as the registration authority for the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) in Iceland.[10]

Record charts

[edit]

FHF publishes two weekly top 40 charts: Tónlistinn – Lög for singles and Tónlistinn – Plötur for albums.[5] The singles chart is based on airplay from radio stations Bylgjan, FM957, Xið 977, Rás 2, and K100, along with streaming data from Spotify. The albums chart is based on both physical sales and Spotify streaming.[5] The exact charting methods are not disclosed, and no archive is available. Streaming data is provided by Ranger Charts.[11]

FHF has also been publishing yearly top 100 charts since 2016.[12]

Recording certification

[edit]

FHF awards record certifications for both albums and singles, with thresholds determined by the release date of the album or single.[6]

Album certification

[edit]

Album certification thresholds are based on physical sales, downloads, and streaming. Platinum certification is awarded for multiples of the platinum level.[6] While the thresholds before 1975 are unclear, there is evidence suggesting that gold records were awarded for sales of 2,500 units.[6]
