Editorial method and sources
How Staimusic content and music selections are produced.
Who publishes
Staimusic publishes music discovery pages, playlists, news and editorial articles. When an article has a stored author or pen name, its byline links to that profile. A publisher attribution does not imply an individual human author or a human review of every article.
Automation and verification
Parts of the catalogue, news drafting, descriptions and translations use automated services, including AI-assisted generation. Publication checks cover artist identity, available source material, duplicate stories and language editions. These checks can fail or miss errors; they do not replace independent confirmation. Items that fail validation remain for review.
Sources
Artist and release metadata can come from MusicBrainz. Song discovery uses YouTube and Last.fm; Spotify matching applies a confidence threshold. News uses supplied source material, press submissions or email information. Source names are shown when recorded; unavailable provenance is not reconstructed or invented. Blog article links may include sources and related reading.
How charts and playlists are selected
Internal Alternative, Pop, Rock, Dance and Electronic charts are catalogue selections, not official popularity rankings. They use genre scores above 20, valid Spotify matches and the newest eligible song in the catalogue for each artist; removed tracks are excluded. Catalogue order is not necessarily a release date. Playlist titles and descriptions explain their editorial theme. Spotify copies follow Staimusic track order.
Official charts
The international singles section uses the UK Official Singles Chart. The Italian singles section uses FIMI. These sources publish weekly: a daily check does not mean that a new official ranking is published every day. They are distinct from internal Staimusic selections.
Reviews and corrections
Automatically generated reviews use available source material and must not be read as evidence of a personal listening session. If you notice a wrong credit, date, source or song match, send the page URL and the correction through our contact page. No correction deadline or independent review is implied.
