The HLR New Submissions & Releases Chart
Created on 14 April 2022
Our favourite new submissions and releases
HLR receives many submissions from independent artists and promoters every week. We can’t give them all airplay but we do try to play the best. All tracks accepted for air play now feature in our interactive HLR New Submissions and Releases Top 50.
This is how the chart works:-
Each week, we’ll listen to every track sent to us and, if we think a track is good enough to warrant air play, we will award it sufficient votes to put it into our Top 50. We will also select what we consider to be the best submissions each week for inclusion in our new Sunday night feature, ‘The Best or The Rest‘. If listeners to the Sunday night show vote a track “The Best”, then we will add sufficient additional points to put the track into the Top 10. Artists are welcome to ask their supporters and fans to listen in to the show and to vote for their track!
Best of all, from the moment a track appears in the chart, visitors to our website can vote to move any track up and down the chart by clicking on the arrows beside the track. This makes the HLR New Submissions and Releases Top 50 a truly listener led chart! Remember: – the higher the track goes, the more we’ll play it on HLR!
Please note that in order to keep the chart fresh, each artist is limited to a maximum of THREE tracks in the chart at any one time. If a fourth track is submitted then their track with the least points will be removed from the chart. We may also award bonus points and subtractions, from time to time, according to feedback from our listeners and to keep the chart as dynamic as possible.
The Top 30 (taken at close of play on the evening before the show) is then played in our monthly Submissions Chart Show (at 8pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month).
Note to submitters: – HLR welcomes original submissions from new, established, unsigned, signed, local and international artists. If you would like to submit your music for consideration for airplay on HLR, please email your tracks, along with a small graphic (600×600 works best), any information about yourself/your band and very preferably a youtube and any purchase links to:-
