Top The Charts is a free online music game where you build a greatest-hits album one spin at a time — think Wordle for music, but instead of guessing a word, you're drafting songs. Every round deals you a random genre and era, you pick one real hit from the shortlist, and after seven tracks your finished album debuts somewhere on the chart. It's part trivia, part strategy, all song drafting: the better your picks, the higher you debut. Crack the top 10 for bragging rights. Hit #1 and you've made history.
- Pick a mode. Hidden stats hides the numbers so you draft by memory and gut. Show stats reveals each song's streams and chart peak for informed picks.
- Spin. Every track starts with a random genre — Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, R&B, Country, Dance, or Alternative — paired with a random era from the 1960s to the 2020s.
- Draft a song. Choose one hit from the shortlist and place it on your CD. Each genre slot holds exactly one track.
- Spend your re-rolls wisely. You get one genre re-roll and one era re-roll per game. Save them for a truly cursed spin.
- Finish the album. Fill all seven tracks, then watch where your album debuts.

What's the difference between the modes?
