In-between ranking system
Standard rankings over-index on stream counts (favoring short tracks) or total playtime (favoring long tracks).
Score = (Avg Playtime / Length) * Log(Length) * (Streams / Unique Users)
* Completion Rate (Avg Playtime / Length)
Measures if the user actually consumed the content. Normalizes engagement regardless of duration.
* Length Multiplier (Log of Length): Rewards the "feat" of maintaining attention over longer periods without being purely linear.
* Replay Velocity (Streams / Unique Users): Captures "stickiness" by rewarding tracks that users return to repeatedly.
This balances viral replayability with deep immersion, creating a leaderboard based on "Total Intent" rather than just volume.
