September 6, 2026
2 changesNew New CriticsFM, Library, and Stats in the app
The app now has CriticsFM, Library, Stats, and Achievements screens, with the same content as the site. In CriticsFM you can filter by score band, see this week's releases, and rate albums from Spotify.
September 3, 2026
1 changeNew Child safety standards
A public child safety standards page is live, covering how to report and what the team does next. Reports on the site and in the app now ask for a reason.
September 2, 2026
1 changeImprovement Community numbers on artist, album, and song pages
Artist, album, and song pages now show what the community did with that name: who charted it most, presence on this week's Global 100, and on song pages the Overall rank and Copa appearances when that data exists. Each line only appears when the number is there.
August 31, 2026
3 changesNew Guided album reviews
After you give a score, four short prompts help you write the review. The answers become paragraphs in the text, with no canned sentence. It works on the album page, on CriticsFM, and in Album Club.
New Community manifesto
Creating a community now requires an introduction. The group page shows what the owner wrote, not a generic paragraph.
Improvement A line when you nominate in Push
When you nominate a song in the Push extra on your chart, you write a short line saying why it belongs. That line shows up in the round result, next to your username.
August 30, 2026
2 changesNew Private messages
You can message someone privately from the More menu, the profile menu, or the envelope next to the bell. Each message disappears seven days after it is sent. The conversation is protected: only the two of you can read it.
Improvement A community stays if you delete your account
Deleting your account does not delete the group. If you own a community, you pick another approved member to take over. Without a successor, deletion stays blocked until someone joins.
August 29, 2026
4 changesNew Three-step signup with Last.fm
Signup now has three steps: name and username, primary chart, and genres. In the second step you authorize Last.fm and choose whether the chart updates on its own, with a 7 or 30 day window. Settings let you authorize, switch, or disconnect later.
New Charts that update on Saturday
Your weekly primary chart can update on its own every Saturday from what you listened to on Last.fm. If you already published this week's edition, it is not replaced.
Improvement Album Club every week
Album Club now opens on its own every Sunday: two days to join, two to vote, and three to listen. With no nominations, the round ends instead of opening an empty poll.
Improvement Copa: roster, signup, and dropping out
When you claim an artist, the eight roster spots fill with the most-heard tracks. Signup asks for confirmation, you can drop out, and you can remove a track from the list. Leaving with an incomplete roster shows a warning.
August 17, 2026
3 changesNew New Releases Radar
When you publish a chart, you can nominate a release from the last 30 days. Nominations become a weekly playlist, with no vote. The card appears on both homes, with a cover mosaic and a shortcut to nominate.
New Releases hub
The /lancamentos page brings together this week's albums, Radar tracks, and recent videos, in tabs. The home strip mixes the three types, each with an Album, Song, or Video badge.
Design Discover regrouped
Discover now groups content into four blocks: This week, From the community, Explore, and Moments. Weekly vote playlists live under From the community, and Mystery Track now appears in Explore.
August 16, 2026
2 changesNew Weekly vote playlists
Each Weekly Vote category (Spotlight, Flashback, National, Push, and Radar) is now a community playlist, with likes and comments. See the preview on the Playlists page and the full list in each category.
Improvement Push through your weekly chart
The Push extra on your chart now counts as the round pick, and the Weekly Vote is the vote. There is no separate Push form anymore. The running ranking, season, and history stay.
August 4, 2026
2 changesNew Your week on ChartFM
The logged-in home card now summarizes what happened because you took part: an achievement, a win, a Global 100 appearance, your level, and this week's XP. The shortcut goes to your profile history.
Improvement Publishing, comments, likes, and follows now count toward your level
Publishing a chart, commenting, liking, and following now add to your level. Easy actions give a little and stop counting after a daily limit. Publishing content gives more and has no such limit. A weekly chart is worth 50, a daily chart is worth 10.
August 2, 2026
8 changesDesign New navigation
The left sidebar is gone. On desktop, navigation lives in the top bar. On mobile, a compact top bar plus a bottom bar with Home, Charts, Discover, Profile, and the create button in the middle. Account, library, messages, and games live in the profile menu.
New Library
You can save a song, album, artist, chart, or review, and see them all in your Library. The save button appears on those pages. The screen shows how each item reached you when that origin was recorded.
New Levels and achievements
Each profile now has a level, a progress bar, and a set of achievements by family, such as published charts, reviews, and network. See yours on the profile achievements page. Only the primary chart counts.
New Compare profiles
When you are signed in, you can compare your taste with someone else's on that profile's compare page. Affinity comes from overlap in songs, artists, albums, library, and games, and each number shows the count behind it.
New Explore charts
The /explorar page groups this week's charts by what can be counted: how old the releases are, how often one artist repeats, and presence on the Global 100. Each card states the count that put it there. When you are signed in, a group of charts similar to yours also appears.
New Stats, history, and discoveries
Profiles now have dedicated stats and history pages. Stats show artist, genre, and date concentration, with the method in view. History puts charts, reviews, comments, and follows on a timeline. Discoveries suggest artists, albums, and charts from people you follow.
New Search results page
Pressing Enter in search opens a full results page, with albums, artists, songs, written reviews, communities, and people. Type tabs work as links.
Design Charts hub
The /global page now shows the top 10 of the Global 100, with last week's position and weeks on chart. The side column has albums rising, artists climbing, and debuts. Airplay and Albums became shortcuts at the top of the page.
July 30, 2026
3 changesDesign Public home with this week's content
The home page for visitors now brings together the Global Top 10, releases, reviews, communities, and this week's editorial, with text and lists that update on their own.
Design Editorial in magazine layout
The /editorial hub got a large feature, a recent grid, and a block per category. Category filters are links, so each one has its own title. Twenty articles explain how the site works: charts, Global 100, Push, Copa, Album Club, and levels.
Design Logged-in home as a discovery hub
Signed-in visitors see a hub with a recap of their own activity, charts from people they follow, people to meet, and events underway. The feed stays on the page, further down.
July 3, 2026
6 changesImprovement Context text on song, artist, and chart pages

New New guides and FAQ
Five new guides are live: ChartFM Glossary, How scoring works, How the Copa works, How to import your Last.fm/Spotify history, and How to review albums. There's also a FAQ page with the most common questions in one place.

Every consolidated Global 100 week is now browsable in the ranking's archive. Each entry shows that week's #1 track and a link to the full chart.
New 2026 year in review
The year in Global 100 numbers: the retrospective page consolidates 2026 highlights from weekly rankings.
Improvement Weekly editorial from real data
The Global 100 editorial is now assembled automatically from the week's numbers (leader, biggest rise, biggest fall, debuts, and returns), with no AI generation. Each sentence only appears when the data exists.
New Week calendar when creating a chart
The create chart page now has a visual week calendar for picking the week, handy for retroactive charts or checking the exact date range before saving.
July 1, 2026

Design Communities in the main menu
Communities got a fixed shortcut in the sidebar, between Global and Push, no need to go through Discover to find your groups.
New Flashback and Spotlight on charts
When creating or editing a chart, you can mark one song as Flashback (a nod to past weeks) and another as Spotlight. On the published page, side cards highlight those picks alongside the main list.
Improvement Comments panel on chart pages
Chart pages now have a dedicated comments panel, with a toggle between the list and comments on mobile and a side layout on desktop, no need to scroll to the bottom of the page.
New Streak on the home screen
