Vocal Bonus Leaderboard: 1/3/2024 & 1/10/2024

As we reflect on the first days of 2024, it's evident that our community of creators has wasted no time in setting the stage for another spectacular year. The first Weekly Leaderboards of 2024 showcase the brilliance that has unfolded so far. Let's delve into the remarkable creations and accomplishments that have set the tone for what's to come this year!

*Please note that due to the release of The 2023 Vocal Reverb and Yearly Leaderboard last week, we are publishing 2 Leaderboards in one resource today.

A reminder of some ground rules we use to formulate the Leaderboard:

The time period of data analyzed for each weekly Leaderboard is collected from 12:00am Wednesday - 11:59pm Tuesday ET each week.

Creators can only win one place in one category on the leaderboard.

Creators cannot win the same category two consecutive weeks.

Creators will win the category that they placed the highest in. However, if the category they placed the highest in is the category they won the previous week, and they placed in another category in a lower place, they will win the category that they did not place in the previous week, in the lower place.
