Personal album ranking

Your albums, ranked by how you actually listened.

Rank considers plays, repeat returns and listening across time. It is not a play-count list.

A hand-picked list captures one moment of memory and mood.

It is honest, and it stops the day you stop updating it.

A plays table rewards volume. An album you looped for a week can outrank one you returned to for years.

Albums are ranked by listening over time, not plays alone.

A ranking that explains itself.

Positions across 11,833 ranked albums in one real archive.

What you get.

Your CAИON is your lifetime ranking, with separate lanes for Albums, Artists and Tracks. ROTATIOИ reads the month and AИNUAL reads the year, where your listening evidence supports them.

Album, Artist & Track CAИON

Three ranked lanes over your whole listening history.

Monthly ROTATIOИ

The shape of the month you are actually in.

Annual listening portraits

Each year preserved as a finished edition.

LEDGER, Records & Archive

The empirical receipts and how your taste has moved.

Multiplicity also reads what your listening says about you: see the six Taste Families.

It keeps a record.

A saved edition preserves what your ranking looked like at that point. It does not change when your current ranking changes, so a ranking that holds its position over years is a different, stronger claim than one that never had the chance.

Metaphorical Music moved to #1 between the 28 June and 9 July archived points, and remained there on 24 July.

5-day artist Record: 25 plays, CFCF, 18-22 July 2026.

A record like this depends on keeping the listening evidence behind it. See keeping your listening history.
