Rolling 30 days · North America
Top trending underground artists, ranked by auditable momentum instead of purchased placement.
Published ranking methodology
All three vectors use the same UTC rolling 30-day window. The interaction vector accepts only validated likes or comments made by an Artist account on a different Artist account’s published track.
Each eligible release added during the window contributes ten points.
Each deduplicated playback session meeting the listening threshold contributes one point.
Valid artist-to-other-artist likes and comments contribute five points.
Fan activity, self-likes, self-comments, duplicate likes, deleted tracks, moderated spam, invalid plays, and events outside the 30-day boundary contribute zero. Ties resolve by score, verified listens, eligible cross-artist interactions, then stable artist ID.
