Why it matters
The free, unlimited entry point moves TOPLEASE's prediction-before-release mechanism to the front of the process, so unsigned and unknown creators can put dormant demos up for listeners to rank without paying a subscription.
Key Facts
- Goraku Inc. made it free for artists to publish any number of self-produced unreleased demo songs on TOPLEASE, with no monthly plan.
- Each published demo opens a prediction on how many times the song will be played in 7 days.
- Listeners predict using coins distributed free in the app, and the company states coins cannot be purchased or cashed out.
- After a song is released, the artist receives points based on predictions collected, and correct predictors also receive points.
- TOPLEASE ranks artists on its top page by coins predicted in the most recent 30 days, with follower counts and past achievements not affecting the ranking.
Points go to artists and to correct predictors after release. Songs built on someone else's beat can be published once that track maker registers with TOPLEASE.
The free tier applies to songs an artist produced themselves. Tracks that use another person's beat carry a condition: the track maker must register with TOPLEASE before the song can be published. Prediction uses coins handed out free in the app, and the company states coins cannot be bought or cashed out. On the platform's top page, a section called "Artists drawing attention through predictions" ranks creators by the number of coins listeners have predicted with over the most recent 30 days, and follower counts and past results do not count toward the ranking.
