Surveys are carried out by an organisation called RAJAR. It works in a similar way to the BARB research for TV viewing - certain households are selected to keep a diary of their radio listening.

They do public surveys to figure out who is listening. Ex, teens, college students, or mature adults. That sort of thing.

By surveys.
They poll people in the street about what they listen to then use very loose multiplication statistics to get a national statistic.
It's very inaccurate.
