About Ledgertone
Ledgertone is an independent project that ranks artists in two phonk genres (Phonk and Brazilian Phonk) on Pandora by 28-day listeners. Every ranking is a dated snapshot: the numbers are read from artist profiles on one specific day, and nothing on the site updates live.
How Ledgertone started
SETTWOR noticed by chance that some other phonk artists had fewer listeners on Pandora than he did, and wanted to check it on the internet. He could not find any information about listeners on Pandora, so he checked the numbers by hand, artist by artist, to learn the real counts. Later he decided to build a site where this information can be kept and checked more accurately. That is why Ledgertone exists.
How the data is collected
We would rather show less than show something we cannot stand behind.
- Collected by hand
- Every figure is collected by hand from the profile of each phonk artist on Pandora.
- Verified listeners
- Every listener count is verified before it is published. It is the number of listeners over the last 28 days, rounded the way Pandora shows it.
- Not the Pandora API
- Ledgertone does not use any official Pandora API. We only collect and organize numbers shown on artist profiles.
- Snapshots, not live
- Numbers never update on their own. Each snapshot shows the date it was captured, and older snapshots stay available.
Who runs Ledgertone
Ledgertone is run by SETTWOR, an artist who is also listed in the rankings. He checks the accuracy of the data by hand. The aim is a useful and honest reference for phonk listeners. Every artist, SETTWOR included, is placed by the same rule: by the 28-day listeners number in the snapshot. If you find a number that looks wrong, write to the address below and it will be checked.
Independence
Ledgertone is not affiliated with Pandora. Pandora is a trademark of its respective owner and is named here only as the source of the numbers. The numbers are a record of one moment and may differ from what Pandora shows today. Ledgertone is not affiliated with Spotify either: artist pictures are loaded from Spotify's image servers, and Spotify is a trademark of its respective owner.
