How the KAIDRON TV Charts Work
Transparent. Community-Driven. Mathematically Fair.
THE GOLDEN RULE: NO PURCHASED INFLUENCE
Chart rankings are 100% organic. No Credits, money, or promotional purchases can influence your KAIDRON TV Score. Dashboard "Featured" placements are separate advertisements visible only in the discovery feed, marked as "Promoted," and do not count toward chart metrics.
PHASE 1: THE SANDBOX (The Proving Ground)
Democratic Entry: Every upload starts in The Sandbox. To enter charts:
- 100 Verified Votes required within 14 days
- Fair Rotation: Failure to reach threshold results in honorable retirement (makes room for new talent)
- Status: "Chart-Qualified" unlocks weekly promotion eligibility
PHASE 2: THE PROMOTION CYCLE (The Friday Rise)
Weekly Competition: Every Friday 8:00 PM CET:
- Top 20 Chart-Qualified tracks (by total momentum/plays) enter Visionary 100 (Video) or Sonic 100 (Audio)
- 90-Day Window: Chart-Qualified tracks have 90 days to earn promotion before archival
- Editorial Override: We reserve right to remove tracks from promotion queue that violate guidelines, regardless of vote count
PHASE 3: THE MATHEMATICS OF FAME
KAIDRON TV Score Formula:
- Hype Score (60%): Plays from last 7 days (viral momentum)
- Legacy Score (30%): Total lifetime plays (longevity)
- Engagement Score (10%): Favorites, playlist adds, comments
- Time-Decay: Gradual mathematical decay prevents static charts
Anti-Manipulation: IP-tracking, device fingerprinting, and velocity analysis ensure "1 Human = 1 Vote." Suspicious patterns trigger Shadow Ban (visible but unranked).
NEURAL CERTIFICATIONS (Permanent Legacy)
Based on lifetime organic plays only (no paid promotion counts):
