Based on downloads and the top ten can change just before its announced on the radio:

The Big Top 40 Show is the first real-time chart ever to be broadcast in the United Kingdom and broadcasts on around 141 commercial UK radio stations.

At 6pm, the top 10 is "locked in" and broadcast. The top 10 is based purely on the current iTunes top 10 sales chart, as opposed to 40 to 11 which is based on sales from the past week mixed with airplay data.
It's replaced the Hit40 UK chart. Many years ago it was the Network chart - the first commercial radio top 40 chart. It was hosted by David Kid Jensen. Those were the days....
