'''Ultratop''' is an organization which generates and publishes the official [[record chart]]s in [[Belgium]], and it is also the name of most of those charts. Ultratop is a [[non-profit organization]], created on the initiative of the Belgian Entertainment Association (BEA), the Belgian member organization of the [[International Federation of the Phonographic Industry]].<ref name="UT-Who"/><ref>[http://www.ifpi.org/conten(contracted; show full)atop.be/en/ultratop.asp|title=Ultratop Belgian Charts|work=Ultratop.be |publisher=ULTRATOP & Hung Medien / hitparade.ch|accessdate=2010-05-31}}</ref> It differs from the Ultratop charts which are based on sales only, however a song cannot chart on the Ultratip chart on airplay alone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultratop.be/en/ultratop.asp |title=Ultratop Belgian Charts |work=Ultratop.be |publisher=ULTRATOP & Hung Medien / hitparade.ch |accessdate=2011-08-23}}</ref>
