Gates rank against gates and SoundCloud tracks against SoundCloud tracks, merged position for position. A gate download only counts when a fan completes the gate; SoundCloud plays are SoundCloud’s own numbers.
Gates: lifetime downloads, highest first. A download is a fan who finished the gate and took the file. SoundCloud tracks: plays on SoundCloud. The two lists are never compared — they alternate, a gate first at every position.
The arrow compares a gate’s last 24 hours of downloads with the 24 hours before. Fresh gates wear NEW for their first two weeks. SoundCloud rows carry no arrow.
Publish a gate and earn a download — that’s the whole entry bar. Gates, fan emails, analytics and export are free, permanently. Create yours in two minutes. A SoundCloud track here becomes a gate when its artist claims it.
