Global InformationList of Romanian Top 100 number ones information
Founded in 1995, the Romanian Top 100 was the national music chart of Romania. It was compiled by broadcast monitoring services Body M Production A-V (1990s and 2000s) and by Media Forest (2010s), and measured the airplay of songs on radio stations throughout the country.[1][2][3] In 2005, the number of radio stations involved was 120.[4] Starting in 2004, the chart was announced during a two-hour radio show which initially emerged from a partnership with teen magazine Bravo.[5] The Romanian Top 100 was also featured in Billboard's Music & Media magazine until 2003,[6][7] and was—apart from a weekly Kiss FM podcast in the 2010s—announced on its own website.[3][8] As of 2024, the Romanian Top 100 lacks usable archives, especially for the late 1990s and 2000s.
Over its 17 years of existence, around 150 documented singles reached the number-one position, the first being "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson in 1995. "I Follow Rivers" (2011) by Lykke Li spent 12 weeks at the summit, longer than any other song. The most successful artists were Madonna and Kylie Minogue with six documented number ones each. Multiple artists reached number one with several singles in a calendar year, including the Black Eyed Peas with "Where Is the Love?" and "Shut Up" in 2004. Cleopatra Stratan was four years old when she topped the chart in October 2006 with "Ghiță", making her the youngest artist ever to attain a number one in any country according to Guinness World Records.[9] The Romanian Top 100 ceased publication after its last broadcast on 19 February 2012, and was replaced with the Airplay 100.[10][11]
