How Songs Score
Every song scores on two things: where it finishes on the chart, and how it got there.
Position Points come from where the song lands when the new chart drops.
Finishing at #1 is worth about 40 points, #50 about 20, and #100 almost nothing.
Movement Points are then added or taken away:
Climbing pays a bonus that grows with the size of the jump, and pays more when a climb like that is rare from where the song started — #50 to #1 is worth far more than #2 to #1.
Holding your position pays at every rank. Staying put is worth points.
Slipping costs you, and the further a song falls the more it costs.
Falling off the chart is the worst outcome. It always costs more than surviving at #100, and it hurts most when a song drops out from high up.
Because songs lose points as well as earn them, a weekly score can be negative.
