About Music Ranking
Intro
Music Ranking is a live music promotion leaderboard built to make music discovery more open, competitive and transparent.
Artists can submit their music, choose how much they want to spend promoting it, and compete for visibility on the public Music Ranking leaderboard.
Higher promotional bids rank higher.
Listeners can discover and play music directly from the leaderboard and choose which artists they want to hear more from.
How Music Ranking Works
1. Submit Your Music
Paste a supported music link and add your release to Music Ranking.
2. Choose Your Promotional Bid
Start from as little as £1.
Your position depends on your total promotional bid compared with other artists currently on the leaderboard.
3. Climb The Ranking
Higher bids move higher.
If another artist moves above you, you can increase your existing bid and pay only the difference.
4. Get Heard
Listeners can preview music directly on Music Ranking and click through to supported platforms to continue listening.
5. See What Happens
Artists can see simple performance signals including preview plays, full-track clicks and their highest achieved ranking.
What Music Ranking Is
Music Ranking is a paid promotional leaderboard.
Artists purchase visibility.
The amount paid determines position on the promotional ranking.
What Music Ranking Is Not
Music Ranking is not:
- an editorial music chart
- a measure of musical quality
- a playlist placement service
- a guarantee of streams
- a guarantee of followers
- a guarantee of positive listener response
Artists can pay for visibility.
They cannot pay listeners to like their music.
Founding Artists
Music Ranking launched with a limited group of up to 30 Founding Artists.
These musicians received one free £0 placement to help establish the first Music Ranking leaderboard.
Founding Artist submissions are clearly identified so listeners can distinguish free founding placements from paid promotional bids.
Their Founding Artist badge remains as recognition that they were among the first musicians to participate in Music Ranking.
Our Philosophy
Music promotion does not need to be complicated.
Music Ranking is built around one simple idea:
Give artists a transparent way to compete for attention and give listeners an easy way to discover what is being promoted right now.
