Points

Points (abbreviated as PTS) are the primary metric used to rank songs on the King Warz Charts. Points are calculated weekly based on a combination of streams, past performance, and chart placement. This system reflects both the current popularity and ongoing impact of a song over time.

How Points Are Calculated

1. Streams and Bonus Points:

• Each week, a song earns 10 chart points for every stream it receives during that week.
• Additionally, songs receive 2 bonus chart points for every stream they accumulated in the two weeks prior to the current charting week. This incentivizes sustained performance over time.

2. Chart Placement Points:

- The top 60 songs on the chart (including ties) receive unit points based on their ranking.

- The distribution is linear, with:

• 60 points awarded to the song at #1,
• 59 points to #2,

decreasing by one point per position down to 1 point for the song at #60.

3. Variant Rules:

* When a song has multiple variants (e.g., standard and live versions), the version that receives more streams in a given week is the one that charts. However, the streams from all variants are combined to calculate the total PTS for that week.

* Variants are tied to specific albums. If a live version charts, the album featuring that live version gains points, not the original album with the standard version.
