The Israeli Annual Hebrew Song Chart (Hebrew: מצעד הפזמונים העברי השנתי, Mitz’ad HaPizmonim) 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 1969.
Two main charts are currently produced: one on Kan Gimel of the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (originally on Reshet Gimmel of Kol Yisrael, and between 1969 and 1997 included in the program Makom BaTzameret), and another on Galgalatz, operated by the Israel Defense Forces (Galei Tzahal).
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.
History Mitz’ad HaPizmonim has been broadcast continuously since 1963. Over the decades, it has become a central tradition in Israeli popular music.
