Hitlist (Hebrew: היטליסט) is an Israeli weekly record chart launched by mako, an Israeli news website. It's the first Israeli music chart to determine its ranking based on data from digital platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and social media platforms such as TikTok rather based on editorial choice and fan votes like in Galgalatz Official Music Chart Of Israel and The 10.[1] The first number 1 hit was Unicorn by Noa Kirel that was chosen to represent Israel on the Eurovision song contest the same year.[2] The first annual Hitlist chart was aired on 14 September 2023 on Keshet 12 and Radio Tel Aviv. The winner of that chart was the song Sick Love by Peer Tasi.[3] The annual chart is scheduled for September rather than December due to the proximity of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which typically does not fall in December.
Mako announces the chart on 20 March 2023, According to Mako, the chart was created as an alternative to existing Israeli record charts, which rely on fan votes and editorial choices. It aims to "represent the true Israeli charts through the development of a unique algorithm that gauges the preferences of hundreds of thousands of Israelis who listen to songs daily on various platforms."[1] The chart was launched with the sponsorship of the Coca-Cola mobile app.
The chart is updated every Tuesday at 14:00 on the Mako website. It includes the main chart, consisting of the top 100 songs listened to by Israelis on various platforms, as well as separate charts for Israeli and international songs, each including the songs that entered the top 100 from each category. Every Israeli artist whose song hits the first position receives a personal plaque from Mako in recognition of the achievement.
