'''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/content/section_links/local_associations.html "LINKS - Local record industry associations"].

==Ultratop charts and regional versions==
The music charts produced by Ultratop are separated along regional-language boundaries, an unusual division that is justified by the [[culture of Belgium|cultural differences in Belgium]]. So it is that the Dutch-speaking [[Flanders]] region has one set of charts of record activity there, while the French-speaking [[Wallonia]] region has another set to measure popularity in those provinces. All of the charts generated by Ultratop are published in three different languages: Dutch, primarily for the Flemish inhabitants of Flanders; French, primarily for the Walloons in Wallonia; and English.

In Flanders the most important charts are the '''[[Ultratop 50|Ultratop 50 singles]]''' and the '''Ultratop 5200 albums'''. In Wallonia the most important charts are the '''[[Ultratop 40|Ultratop 40 singles]]''' and the '''Ultratop 5200 albums''' (the two versions of Ultratop 50 albumFlemish and Walloon charts are separate). The rankings in all of these charts are based on record sales. The charts are broadcast on several Belgian radio stations, and on TV stations [[TMF Flanders|TMF in Flanders]] and Plug TV in Wallonia.<ref name="UT-Who"/> In addition to the Ultratop charts, Ultratop also produces singles charts named "Ultratip"; these, too, are produced separately for the Flanders and Wallonia regions.
