how it works
No ads. No paid spots. Nothing personalised. Here's what moves things up.
✺
hot
What people are watching right now.
- →Lots of new views this week pushes a set up.
- →Likes here count way more than views.
- →Sets fade as they get older, so the list stays fresh.
- →A big week for a small channel counts, not just big numbers.
- →No single channel — or family of shows, like Tiny Desk — can hog the list.
see hot →★
top
The biggest sets from the last week, month, year, or ever. You pick.
- →Biggest overall wins.
- →Likes and plays here give a boost.

fresh
Newest first. That's it.

slept on
Great sets most people missed.
- →Only sets that haven't blown up yet.
- →The more people here like one, the higher it goes.
- →A like on a small set counts more than one on a big set.

human picks
Anyone with an account can bring a set here — paste a YouTube link. Everyone else can raise it.
- →Raises only go up. No down-votes.
- →Newer picks get a head start, so the list keeps moving.
- →Links are checked: a real video, ten minutes or longer, plays outside YouTube.

sleep
Long, quiet sets with no drums to speak of. There's a sleep timer.
- →Picked from everything here by genre, words in the title and length.
- →Sets with a crowd or a band on stage count a little against.
- →A mod can say a set doesn't fit — and the list learns from it.
- →Reshuffled every day.
see sleep →◎
focus
Steady, mostly instrumental sets. Nothing that grabs you.
- →Jazz, ambient, minimal and the like — no big vocals, no hard drums.
- →Picked and corrected the same way as sleep.

the weekly chart
The hot list, frozen at the end of every week and kept forever.
- →The top 50 of hot, plus the top 10 of slept on.
- →Updated daily while the week is on; final just after midnight UTC on Monday.
- →Every week keeps its own page, with each set's move since last week, its best spot and weeks on the chart.
- →The genres and cities that moved most each week get their own top 20.

surprise me
Plays a random set you've probably never heard.
- →When your queue ends, this happens on its own so the music doesn't stop.
A hand-picked list of radio stations, crews and venues — see them all. New sets show up within a few hours.
Liking something here moves it up more than hundreds of YouTube views. That's how the good stuff gets found.
Channels that post every day only get their best sets into the main charts, so smaller ones get a shot. Clips, trailers, podcasts and AI stuff are filtered out.
Genres come from each show, not the channel — so a Tiny Desk with a jazz band shows up under jazz.
