How the DJ Ranking System Works

Disk Rider Live uses a composite score built from multiple real-time signals to produce a fair, live-updating ranking.

Followers (30%) — Your total follower count, weighted by recency. Gaining 100 new followers this week counts more than 100 gained a year ago.

Check-ins (25%) — Fans checking into your events signal live popularity. Each check-in at a venue where you're headlining adds to your score.

Live engagement (20%) — Time spent live, concurrent viewer peaks, and virtual gifts received during streams.

Video performance (15%) — View counts, likes, and shares across all your video posts and reels.

Reliability & reputation (10%) — Derived from booking completion rate, review scores, and zero-dispute contract history.

Rankings update every 6 hours. City and genre sub-rankings use the same formula filtered to locality and tag overlap. Your Ranking History page (Analytics → Ranking History) shows your score over time.
