Frequently Asked Questions

Do credits cost real money?

No. Credits are completely virtual and have no monetary value. Every account gets 5,000 free credits on signup. Credits cannot be purchased with money — they can only be earned through the weekly reward system.

Can I list any song, or only my own?

You can list any song that has a YouTube video. However, listing your original music is encouraged because you benefit directly from the weekly credit rewards when you reach the top 3.

How often does the chart update?

The chart refreshes automatically every 15 seconds. When someone bids credits on a song, the new total and ranking appear on the leaderboard in near real-time without any page reload.

What happens when I run out of credits?

You can still browse the chart, listen to songs for free, use search, and manage your playlist. To bid again, reach the top 3 in a weekly competition to earn credits back, or wait for future promotional credit drops.

What is the Boost feature?

Boosting a song costs 50 credits and marks it with a highlighted "Boosted" badge on the chart. Boosted songs receive extra visual attention from listeners browsing the leaderboard.

Is ChartClimber affiliated with YouTube or Spotify?

No. ChartClimber is a fully independent platform. YouTube videos are embedded for playback only under YouTube's standard embed policies. We have no affiliation with YouTube, Google, Spotify, or any streaming service.

How does the YouTube search work?

Clicking "Search" in the nav searches YouTube through our server — no API key required. Results include the song title, artist, and thumbnail. You can play, add to playlist, or use a result as your bid submission directly from the search panel.

Is my data private and secure?

Your account uses only your name and email address. No passwords are stored — you sign in via email identity only. Your playlist is stored locally in your browser and never sent to our servers.
