The Numbers

Every figure on this page comes straight from our database and updates automatically. If you're deciding whether to trust us with your music or your curation, this is the same data we look at.

Reviews

Since July 2025:

  • 58,152 songs submitted
  • 52,935 reviewed by a real human curator
  • 18,628 placed on a playlist
  • 4,625 artists have pitched with us

A review means a curator listened and made a decision to either accept, pass, or place a song on a different playlist of theirs that fits better. Passes count as reviews just as much as placements do. Artists pay for curators to listen, consider the track for their playlist(s), and respond genuinely. There is no guarantee of placement.

When a curator doesn't get to your song in 72 hours, it expires and your tokens are returned automatically. That has happened 4,040 times, returning 22,169 tokens to artists without anyone having to ask.

Community curators currently average 34h to reply, and 27% of reviewed pitches get placed. Those two rates are the trailing month, independent curators only. Our own playlists (aka Magic Nothing Editorial Playlists) are tracked separately so they can't pad the marketplace's numbers.

Money

Our platform uses Tokens: 1 token = $1 USD. Artists spend them, curators and vendors earn them, and earned tokens cash out as real money.

  • 775 people have earned on the platform
  • 396,021 tokens earned reviewing songs and running campaigns
  • $329,187 actually paid out, across 1,158 cashouts

Payouts go through Stripe, so that last number isn't our word for it. It only counts completed payouts, and every one of them corresponds to a transfer in Stripe's own records.

What we remove

A marketplace only works if the playlists on it are real and the curators and vendors are honest and genuine. We screen for botted and artificial activity, and we act on what we find:

  • 28 playlists removed for artificial or botted activity
  • 8 accounts removed, for things like running multiple accounts, artificial streams, or abusive behavior

When an account is removed, earned tokens above the cashout minimum are still paid out within 30 days. The exception is tokens earned through the violation itself, which can be forfeited. The full policy is in our Terms, section 14.4.

Most curators here are musicians who care about their playlists. Flagging is for protecting them and you, not for keeping balances.
