How stations are ranked#

Stations are ranked by successful plays over the last 30 days, then by listening time. A play only counts when the audio actually starts. The data comes from listening analytics, which is collected on your own site.

On a new site with no plays yet, TuneSera falls back to listener counts from the station data, so the list is never empty.
