Your Top Ten

Your own music countdowns

Followers

Your Top Ten is the space for members to share personal charts, rankings, and countdowns. These threads work best when they are consistently updated, well-organized, and easy for others to follow. Please review the rules before posting.

General

Each member may run up to two active charts at a time.
Charts should be updated on a regular schedule. If you cannot maintain your thread, close it or notify readers.
Do not bump your chart unnecessarily. Bump only when posting an update or after 24 hours of no activity.
All ATRL rules apply. Personal attacks, baiting, and fanbase fights are not allowed.
Do not use other members’ charts to start arguments about artists or fanbases.

Chart Content

Your chart should include a clear ranking format (Top 10, Top 20, weekly or monthly lists, etc.).
Include enough information for readers to understand the chart (dates, positions, optional commentary).
You may use graphics or embeds as long as they do not break layout or slow the page.
Do not post intentionally low-effort or empty charts.
Your thread should have substance beyond a single line of text.

Updates & Posting Etiquette

Chart updates should contain new positions or commentary. Posting only to hold your spot or bump is not allowed.
If your chart goes inactive for four weeks, another member may start a new chart covering the same theme or format.
Do not revive a chart you abandoned unless you are posting a genuine update.

Duplicates & Themes

Do not copy another member’s ongoing chart format or theme without permission.
General music charts, genre charts, and personal artist countdowns are all allowed as long as they’re clearly your own work.
For special formats or community-wide chart projects, use the pinned discussion thread to coordinate.

Image & Media Guidelines

Embeds from YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music are allowed if they follow ATRL’s copyright rules.
Album or single artwork may be included if sourced properly.
Do not include leaked or unreleased material.
