24 Weeks of the DJ Sets Chart, By the Numbers

I asked our own database what the DJ Sets chart actually looked like across its first weeks, rather than trusting what I remembered publishing. This post is that answer.

A quick note on what "published" means here: a chart week goes live the moment someone on our team hits Publish in the studio, on whatever week-true sets are ready at the time. There is no minimum entry count. Some published weeks carry sixteen sets, one carries seven. All of them count.

1. What is actually live

The DJ Sets chart has published 24 weekly charts so far, covering 2026-w10 through 2026-w36. The chart itself reaches back to sets published on YouTube in March, but the whole early archive went live in one move on September 4, 2026, when we shipped the current publish model. Every week since has gone up on its own.

Three weeks inside that span have no published chart: 2026-w15 and 2026-w18 have a chart draft sitting in the studio that was never published, and 2026-w33 was reviewed and left unpublished on purpose, because only one set that week was eligible. The week right after our newest published one, 2026-w37, is also dark. Its automatic Friday capture ran into an approval timing gap and recorded nothing, and the week was unpublished on September 19. I am not going to dress that up. It is a gap, and now you know why.

2. 282 sets, one week each

Across those 24 weeks, 282 sets have charted, in 282 total chart slots. That is by design: the chart is a weekly selection of newly published sets, so a set appears once and never repeats.

So every set on it has a one week run, and each published week has its own number one: 24 so far.

3. Who shows up the most

Counted by artist name on the video, not by channel: Sam Divine has charted in 7 of the 24 published weeks, with 7 different sets. Planet Wax has charted in 5 weeks with 7 different sets, meaning more than one Planet Wax set has charted in the same week at least twice. drumcodeofficial and LIU each appear in 5 weeks with 5 sets apiece.

A caution on that list. A chunk of our catalog has no artist name on file at all, and those rows fall back to the uploading channel's name with a note that it is a channel, not an artist. Anjunadeep and drumcodeofficial both show up this way, and I would rather flag that gap than quietly count a label's channel as if it were a person.

4. Whose channel we see the most

We do not tag DJ sets by festival or series today, so I cannot give you a clean "most-represented festival" number. What I can give you is the uploading channel, which for a lot of these sets is the festival's or series' own channel.

By that measure: Anjunadeep leads with 26 charted entries across 26 distinct sets and 20 of the 24 published weeks. Defected Records follows with 26 entries across 17 weeks. drumcodeofficial has 17 entries across 16 weeks. Tomorrowland's own channel has charted 9 times across 3 weeks. Read "channel" as channel, not as festival: an artist uploading their own set to their own channel shows up under their own name here, the same as a festival would.

5. Tracklists are catching up, not caught up

Of the 282 distinct sets that have ever charted, 172 have a published tracklist. That is 61 percent. The other 110 have none on file yet, not a broken or unpublished one, just nothing yet.

Where a tracklist exists, it is not thin: the published tracklists carry 3,768 real tracks between them, on top of 229 rows we deliberately do not count as tracks, things like an unlabeled "ID" or a bare intro or outro.

6. Who is actually looking

Since September 4, when the current chart pages went live, /charts and its weekly pages have had 45 visitors and 61 pageviews in total. Almost all of that, 42 visitors and 52 pageviews, went to the main /charts page rather than a specific week. Only two dated week pages show any recorded traffic at all in that window: 2026-w31 with 2 visitors and 2026-w35 with 4.

I am not going to pretend that is a lot of traffic. It is not. It is the honest number for a feature we have been building in public rather than marketing, and it tells me the chart's next job is to earn a reason for people to come back to a specific week, not just the front page.

7. What this tells me

The chart works, and it is honest about what it is: a living list that fills in as we curate, not a locked countdown. The gaps are visible rather than hidden, and I would rather publish that than a smoothed-over version.
