element/59 is for artists who are tired of optimising for the recommendation engine. We are not for sale to the recommendation engine. We will never accept advertising from the major label that signed the band that beat you to the playlist. That's the whole pitch.
Editorial picks are paid, but only by us, only to humans, and the rates are public. No label can buy a chart position. No artist can buy a chart position. The only way up is plays.
Tag your tools at upload. The chart is for everyone — assisted, generated, derivative, human. Listeners filter. We do not pretend you didn't use Suno; we make it tasteful that you did.
Distribution is a service we sell you for £8 a month, not a deal you sign for ten years. Walk away on a Tuesday. Take your masters, your charts, your followers, your URLs. We keep the friendship.
