Editorial accountability · 2026-09-24

The chart,
examined.

Every position has a record. This review checks the evidence behind the edition and records corrections; it does not turn editorial placements into measured market ranks.

What changed

CUTDWN is withdrawn from Hard Dance. Insomniac and Flash identify Manchester, UK as the birthplace. The remaining artists advance one position; the chart currently contains 29 artists. The previous position stays in this review history.

yetep is withdrawn from Melodic. The 2026 release coverage identifies Seoul as his birthplace. Los Angeles is his current base. The former #15–30 entries advance one place, leaving 29 ranked artists.

SOHMI remains eligible. Her DJ Mag interview identifies a New Jersey birthplace and an upbringing in Hong Kong and Seoul. This detailed account resolves the conflicting directory entry in favor of retaining her House position.

Historical measurements keep their dates. The audience captures in this edition are not live counters. Profile links establish source identity, not verified growth, ticket sales or playlist inclusion.

Birthplace and genre receive separate decisions. A US base does not establish US birth, and a release in one style does not settle an artist’s primary genre. Maceo Plex’s Texas birth account takes precedence over the conflicting automated candidate record.

Review coverage is complete; evidence certification remains open. All 330 inherited positions were checked. The entries below identify the additional evidence needed to close each case. Editorial order is retained except for the documented eligibility removals.
