TopHit.com is a worldwide-oriented music chart website that includes internet platform for music distribution and airplay monitoring with generation of charts. As of 2024, TopHit has over 9,000 artists, songwriters, DJs, record labels, and music publishers. TopHit's services are utilized by more than 2,500 radio stations and 90 television channels across 45 countries, primarily in the US, UK, EU, Ukraine, Russia and the CIS. The platform's content library includes over 200,000 radio hit songs and more than 10,000 music videos. Universal Music has described TopHit as the most authoritative site for airplay monitoring in Russia. TopHit has been referenced by music critics and music producers as a key source for tracking the popularity of artists in Russia and the CIS.

Annually TopHit.com holds the live Top Hit Music Awards music ceremony that recognize the top radio and internet performers and their most popular hits, celebrating outstanding contributions to the music industry.

TopHit is a social network-like internet platform for aggregating, distributing and promoting digital music content. Authors, artists, producers and record labels upload their works to TopHit website. Music radio stations and TV channels examine uploaded songs and are able to download the ones they find suitable for airing. Representatives of labels watch new artists and songs using TopHit to determine most interesting ones to work further with them.

The website's own automated service TopHit Spy is aimed to monitor music broadcast at partner radio stations and to generate statistics of aired music. This data is used to form summary radio charts. As well, similar charts for YouTube and Spotify are available. Detailed play statistics for each song are given to rights holders — artists, authors, publishers and labels.

Producers and rights holders of musical content, upon registering with TopHit, upload their new works, phonograms and music videos to the platform. The TopHit content database is organized into two primary sections: Music Arrivals (featuring 600–800 successfully tested new releases from the past two months) and Golden Hits (comprising over 200,000 radio hits from the past 30 years). Approximately 60% of these songs are in English, while the remainder are performed in Russian, Spanish, German, Romanian, Ukrainian, Korean, and other languages.

Since 2009, TopHit has introduced online testing of all music arrivals. On the Homepage and the Music Arrivals page of TopHit, all new songs undergo testing. The testing procedure consists of listening to a short demo version of a new track and then giving a "like" or "dislike" rating.

When forming a track's rating, TopHit considers both the song's parameters and the profiles of the radio stations or labels evaluating it. Ratings from radio stations, streaming platforms, and labels carry the most weight. After 2–3 days of testing, each track receives a rating on a 10-point scale.

The primary goal of testing is to help creators and rights holders objectively assess the potential of their hits before release and to select those for further promotion that have received the best feedback and ratings from music industry and media pros.
