Israeli Annual Hebrew Song Chart
The Israeli Annual Hebrew Song Chart is an annual Israeli Hebrew-language song ranking and awards program. It has been broadcast on radio each year on the eve of Rosh Hashanah since 1963.
Two main charts are currently produced: one on Kan Gimel of the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, and another on Galgalatz, operated by the Israel Defense Forces.
The annual charts summarize the weekly rankings broadcast during the previous year. The selected songs are played in order, with the top-ranked song designated “Song of the Year". Additional titles are awarded in categories such as “Male Singer of the Year”, “Female Singer of the Year", “Band or Group of the Year", and “Discovery/Breakthrough of the Year".
The results are determined primarily through listeners’ votes, sometimes combined with consideration of weekly chart performance.
