A sanctioning body for the music of ordinary people
The chart drops Monday.
Results Sunday night.
A weekly performance competition: one piece, written by machine, performed by everyone, judged blind by the room. Streaming is a warehouse. This is a venue — with a date, a deadline, and a witness.
The four rules
Listening is the price of entry
You cannot enter the bracket without blind-judging other matchups first, plays verified. Every entry buys guaranteed real listens for everyone.
Voting is blind, pairwise, and randomized
No names, no followers, no vote-for-me links. Two renditions, one choice. The better performance wins or nothing does.
Provenance is the foundation
Divisions for human-performed, AI-assisted, and fully generated work — with disclosure and enforcement teeth. The Chart League needs none of it: your performance of a piece that didn't exist until Monday is its own proof.
AI writes, humans render
Monday, the chart drops — an AI-written piece nobody has heard. Everyone performs the same tune. The Chopin Competition with a modern songbook.
The week
For everyone whose musical life is open-ended practice, this is the missing race calendar: training blocks with a finish line, every single week.
