The Charter
Markets for milestones, not misfortune.
Ahead Markets only lists forecasts about music that are public, professional, and objectively verifiable. We reject commercially attractive markets that fail this test.
What we list
- Chart entries and peaks on named public charts
- Releases: albums, singles, EPs, mixtapes
- Streaming and audience milestones with legally usable data
- Festivals, tours, and venue upgrades
- Awards and public artist-career milestones
- Head-to-head artist growth and recurring emerging-artist indices
What we never list
- Death, injury, illness, addiction, mental health
- Crimes, arrests, lawsuits, personal scandals
- Romantic relationships, pregnancy, private lives
- Humiliation, exploitative or shaming wording
- Anything that could reasonably incentivize harm
Play-money
Ahead Credits have no cash value. They can't be purchased, transferred, or redeemed. No dollar signs. Ever.
