The AFP is the Portuguese group of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). The AFP gathers the main record publishers that operate in the Portuguese market and its affiliates represent more than 95% of the market.
In January 1994, AFP suspended the Portuguese singles chart but continued to publish the Portuguese albums chart.[1] The singles chart was not resumed until July 2000.[2]
Top+[edit]
The television program Top+, broadcast by RTP1 on every Saturday afternoon, was a weekly charts program done in partnership with the AFP. It aired between 1990 and 2012.[32][33] At the time of cancellation, it was the longest-running television program in Portugal with the exception of RTP1's evening news programme Telejornal.[33]
