Ranking builds as coverage grows. These are the artists with enough reporting to rank so far. An artist enters once Foundation has covered their shows, their business moves and their story. New names join each Monday.
How the ranking works
Every Monday we score each artist in Foundation reporting over the last 365 days, against every other artist we track. Each pillar is a percentile; the score is their weighted sum, out of 100. The 26-week score beside it uses the last half-year only.
- Live
- 35%
- 58% now
- Shows reported, weighted toward arenas, stadiums and major festivals.
- Streaming
- 25%
- Not yet live
- Listeners, views and chart presence.
- Box office
- 15%
- Not yet live
- Reported grosses and sell-outs.
- Momentum
- 15%
- 25% now
- How often, and how recently, Foundation reports on the artist.
- Industry
- 10%
- 17% now
- Agency, management and label moves.
Streaming and Box office are not yet live. We have no reliable free source for them yet. Until we do, weights are renormalized across Live, Momentum and Industry, so those three carry the full score in the shares shown.
An artist needs data in at least three pillars to be ranked. The exact formula stays ours; the inputs are the shows, moves and stories you can read in the catalog. Rumored shows and moves are excluded from scoring, and a show counts on the date Foundation reported it.
