THE CORE MECHANIC
This is a Pay-to-Rank battlefield.
Songs don't chart based on merit, streams, or vibes. They chart on the bid. Paste a track, pay, you're on the board. The highest bid is #1. Period.
Rule 01
Documentation
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
No accounts. No profiles. Drop a track, pay to outbid, climb the board. Highest bid is #1 until the monthly purge.
THE PRICING ALGORITHM
$1.00
Base Entry Price
Every new song entering the chart starts at a flat baseline of $1.00. No exceptions. This buys you the bottom rung of the ladder.
+10%
Mandatory Markup
To dethrone an existing track, your bid MUST be at least 10% higher than the current top bid for that position. Incremental pennies are rejected. Go big or go home.

THE PURGE
Glory is fleeting. First of every month, midnight UTC.
The board is wiped clean. All bids are locked, the current #1 is enshrined in the Hall of Fame, and the chart resets to ground zero. The bloodbath begins anew for the next month.
