1) What is The Hidden Jams?

We are a non-profit helping you find the music that was meant for your ears. We believe the likelihood of you finding your next favorite song is greater by diving deeper into the catalog (based on the fan favorites) rather than jumping to an entirely new catalog.

2) How does The Hidden Jams help me uncover an artist’s best songs?

Rather than relying on the commercial popularity or the latest releases, we put the power in the hands of the fans. Every artist’s fans can rank their favorite songs, and through the wisdom of the crowd, we’re able to curate a given artist’s fan favorite song rankings from top to bottom.

3) How can The Hidden Jams be useful to me as an artist’s prospective fan?

Lean on the collective wisdom of that artist’s existing fans to guide you through their catalog and surface the hidden gems

4) How are the rankings for each artist’s song calculated?

Our scoring system is inspired by the tried & true methods popularized by collegiate athletic ranking systems.

1) How do I contribute?

Fans can rank songs they believe are underappreciated by selecting “rank ‘em yourself” on the first page of the artist’s profile. Fans can also share and advocate for the artist’s catalog to their own audience with the share feature.

2) How can I use this platform as a resource?

With The Hidden Jams’ large music database, the platform opens up a world of music discovery.

3) What is fanstanding?

Fanstanding provides insight into how strongly an artist's contributors are engaged with their catalog.

4) What do points represent?

When fans rank songs from 1 to 20, the top 3 selections earn the most points, with the points decreasing progressively down to the 20th ranked song. The total points accumulated across the rankings determine a song's overall ranking on the artist's page; the higher the points, the higher the placement.
