Eligibility & submissions
Review the current chart configuration and qualification notes before submitting music or applying to report spins. These rules are chart-specific and may be updated to protect chart integrity.
Live configuration
ARTIST ELIGIBILITY The artist must reside in Texas and actively perform there, be born in Texas, or perform at least one-third of annual shows in Texas. Artists based in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Colorado, or New Mexico may be considered when actively participating in the Texas music community. TIRC may request documentation. Active-duty U.S. military members and veterans are eligible for tracking.
Submit one officially released, radio-ready, broadcast-quality single through the official TIRC submission process. It must be available on Spotify or Apple Music under the artist's official profile; the submitted recording should match the commercially released master promoted to radio. Artist and title details must be accurate. Submission, fingerprinting, or tracking eligibility does not guarantee acceptance, airplay, or chart placement.
Effective September 1, 2026, TIRC screens submitted music with SubmitHub, IRCAM Amplify, and LetsSubmit. Two of three primary detector results strictly above 15% require manual review; the song remains inactive until that review is completed. One result over 15% alone does not disqualify it. AHA Music may be used for comparison, not ordinarily as a fourth vote. Conflicting or borderline results may receive additional review. A screening decision is an eligibility determination, not an accusation of intentional AI use.
A single moves to recurrent status after three consecutive weeks at #1 or after 24 weeks. One spin from a reporting station counts; zero spins do not count. Current chart credit is capped at 40 spins per song and artist, per station, per week. Only one current fingerprinted single per artist is permitted; conflicting singles require administrator review. Administrators retain the Unlimited option in chart settings.
Reporting stations should devote approximately 10–20% of programming to current Texas singles, average approximately 150 current-single spins per week over a three-week rolling window, and report accurately. Payola, falsified reporting, or intentional spin manipulation may lead to removal.
