How these rankings work

Track pages rank tracks globally by their highest current Chartmetric score. Country and region lists include artists whose origin matches the page. Genre lists assign each artist one primary genre using their strongest genre affinity. Top lists use global Chartmetric score; trending lists use the percentage change in that score over the previous seven days.
