charted

1. 1
   verb

   Simple past and past participle of chart.

   Explorers charted the river system over several expeditions.

   The outbreak's spread had been carefully charted by epidemiologists.

   Note

   Most uses carry an object, such as a coastline, a route or a patient's symptoms, and so can turn passive: the outbreak had been charted. The music-business sense works differently. A song charts with no object, so it forms only active tenses (it charted twice, it has charted again), and from that use comes the hit-list adjective, as in a charted single.

2. 2
   adjective

   Of a record or song, having appeared on a published ranking of popularity or sales.

   Her charted ballad stayed near the top for eight straight weeks.

   The label re-released several of the group's charted recordings on vinyl.

3. 3
   adjective

   Including charts or tabular diagrams within, as a detailed reference work might.

   The heavily charted atlas covered every major shipping lane.

   He preferred a charted cookbook with diagrams for each fold.
