What is the "Dance & Vocal Ranking"?

The "Dance & Vocal Ranking" is a project that announces monthly rankings of dance & vocal artists based on actions within AWA such as plays, playlists, lounges, and comments. In addition to the overall ranking, rankings for each indicator are also provided. Furthermore, artists ranking high on the list are scheduled to receive benefits such as placement in AWA in-app advertising slots, playlist-related exposure, featured playlist placement, and ABEMA CM broadcasts. This initiative allows fans' daily support to contribute to their favorite artists' rankings and promotional opportunities. Users can support their favorite artists by playing songs, publishing playlists, hosting/participating in lounges, and posting comments. Full plays are particularly positioned as an effective way to show support, and the paid plan is designed to make it easier to deliver stronger support. On the other hand, free support actions are also reflected in the rankings.
