The Overall ranking gives a balanced view of your total producer presence on the platform.

Quality

Measures how complete your track metadata is across your catalog. What counts toward Quality:
  • BPM set correctly
  • Key and scale defined
  • Tags added
  • Description written
Producers with higher metadata completion percentages rank higher. This rewards those who take time to properly label and describe their beats.

Uploads

Ranks producers by total number of published tracks. What counts:
  • Only approved, public tracks
  • Private or pending tracks don’t count
Regular uploaders may receive visibility boosts as they climb this ranking.

Plays

Ranks producers by total track play counts. Fair play measures:
  • Authentic listening sessions only
  • Bot or artificial plays are filtered out
  • Minimum listen duration required to count
This ranking rewards producers whose beats resonate with listeners.

Earnings

Ranks producers by their platform contribution share based on track performance.

Collaboration

Ranks producers by their collaborative activity. What counts:
  • Number of collaborative tracks
  • Unique collaborators you’ve worked with
Producers who actively collaborate with others rise in this category.
