Before you make your call.
CRI — the Cultural Relevance Index — is a music prediction platform where you call which albums will break. Your accuracy is tracked and publicly recorded over time. It is the first platform to turn music taste into a verifiable, scored, public track record.
Each week, a curated set of new albums enters the Heat Window. You have 72 hours to make your call — Back or Fade. Your call is locked immediately, scored against real outcomes after 14 days, and permanently recorded on your public track record.
A music prediction platform lets users forecast which songs or albums will succeed before they chart. CRI tracks those predictions, scores them against real cultural outcomes, and builds a public accuracy record over time. It is distinct from music reviews or recommendations — the focus is on measurable foresight, not opinion.
Reviews are opinions after the fact. CRI is predictions before it happens — scored against reality. You are not rating an album. You are calling its cultural outcome before the verdict is in. The difference is accountability.
A weekly 72-hour window where a curated set of new album releases is presented and predictions are made. Once the window closes, all calls are locked and cannot be changed. No extensions, no second chances.
Back means you believe the album will break culturally. Fade means you believe it won't. Calls are binary, locked immediately, and cannot be edited. No hedging, no nuance — just a clear call on the record.
Outcomes resolve 14 days after each Heat Window closes, measured against real cultural signals. Your accuracy compounds over time, building a verifiable public track record visible on the CRI leaderboard.
CRI is currently invite-only in beta. Request access with your email above. If you have an invite code, you'll be prompted after submitting. Founding members — those who join before the public launch on Record Store Day — receive a permanent Founding Member badge on their profile.
