The analysis examines the diversity of charts, their mutual intersection by shared songs, time delay between the first appearances of a shared song in each of the two charts, number of weeks needed for a song to chart as number one, and the changes of market concentration of music labels. For these concepts, it identifies time trends and the differences between the two charts. The main conclusions are that diversity in the digital chart is higher than in the radio one, that dissimilarity between the charts is growing, that time delay of a song charting in radio after charting in digital is getting longer, and that market share of the major music labels is decreasing. In the conclusion the thesis introduces several new research topics and hypothesises for the purposes of future sociological analysis of Czech music market. Keywords Popular...
