ChartFM's music discovery game

What is Push
Discover an artist or song almost no one knows and show it to the world.

Inspired by the old MTV Push, which launched artists to the wider public: here, every round, each participant submits an unknown track. Submissions stay hidden until everyone has listened and ranked them. Only then is it revealed who submitted what. Whoever scores the most points wins.

How it works

01
Submit a song
Send the song you want the community to discover this week
02
Listen to the playlist
A Spotify playlist is created with all the round's submissions
03
Rank the songs
Put the songs in order of preference, from 1st to last
04
Check the ranking
The points are added up and the week's ranking is revealed to everyone

How scoring works

Your song earns points from each listener, based on the position they gave it in their own ranking: taking 1st place from someone earns 20 points, and the value drops on a smooth curve down to 1 point for last place. Every listener's points for the round are added up at the end.

Skipping the round isn't neutral: every participant who doesn't submit a ranking gives a +20 point bonus to every other song in the round, an incentive for everyone to listen and vote.
