Where do the numbers on this page come from?
From Songbrain's public leaderboard: songs that artists uploaded for analysis and chose to show publicly. Reference tracks from commercial releases are not counted. Each song gets a 0–100 virality score from its audio. The page refreshes weekly, and a genre's chart opens once it has 10 songs.
