Perspective
Since 2017, RIM operates several record charts that rank the best-performing songs in Malaysia. The main RIM Chart lists the Top 20 most streamed international & domestic songs in Malaysia, with a separate chart for the Top 10 most streamed domestic songs.[4][5]
Starting the week ending 24 March 2022, the Top 20 International and Domestic Singles chart was reconfigured to be exclusively for International single releases, while the Top 10 Domestic Singles chart was reconfigured into a Malay songs chart. Also in the same week, the Top 10 Chinese Singles chart was introduced.[6]
On January 23, 2025, the chart was rebranded to the Official Malaysia Chart and joined the Official Southeast Asia Charts launched by the IFPI in collaboration with RIM. The Malay and Chinese songs charts were also rebranded to the Official Malaysia Domestic Chart and the Official Malaysia Chinese Chart.[7]
