The Galactic Top 1000 was a popular music chart released by Whillboard that placed singles from one to one thousand. The Top 1000 started in 17 ABY as a result of increased galactic listenership and the reduction of an Imperial culturist view. To make the top of the list was incredibly difficult, considering the number of releases across the galaxy at any one time. Only a handful of artists have successfully topped the chart more than a few times.
