📅 How is the monthly chart ranked?

Songs are ranked by total plays and streams over a rolling 30-day window. The chart refreshes on the 1st of every month, so a song that dominated last month can be overtaken by a fresh release at any time.

📊 Why does the chart stop at 200 songs?

The monthly chart shows the Top 200 songs of the month. This keeps the page fast and gives every track a realistic shot at charting — beyond 200, the rankings become statistically thin.

🗓️ When does the monthly chart reset?

The window rolls forward every day, but the chart is snapshot-published on the 1st. This means late-month surges are fully captured in that month's final ranking before the new month begins.

🏆 How is this different from the weekly chart?

The weekly chart is a 7-day snapshot — it favors whatever just dropped. The monthly chart weighs 30 days of activity, so it rewards songs with staying power rather than one-week spikes.

🎵 Are all these songs free to stream?

Yes — every track on the monthly chart is 100% free to stream. No subscription, no sign-up, no hidden fees.
