How we build rankings you can trust.
• No paid placement: rank cannot be bought, and payments never influence order.
• Usage data only: searches, downloads, plays, views and active players. No editorial opinion and no PR.
• Transparency: every chart shows its source, how it is measured and when it was updated.
• Corrections: if we find an error we fix it and say so.
