Because you have a different opinion and you like different things maybe.

Because (shock!) lots of people have bad taste in music.

who even pays attention to those anyways

Well of course its only going to be charts full of music thats actually for sale, not necessarily reflective of what that dj / artist is currently playing really.

Talented folk like DJ Skyraper who are looking for quality musics.

all of the tracks on the main page top ten are only sold exclusively through beatport (for some time or indefinitely). because the sales of said tracks arent divided amongst the 150 other download portals, they get more sales on that particular site thus putting them above all the others. once they are on the main page chart the sales increase because of the high visibility which generates even more sales and prolonged chart posish.

but if you look at other dance music download sites, the charts are quite different. there really can be no argument made that those tracks would chart as well on other sites, it is simply not possible, those tracks are exclusive to beatport.

in other words:

#1 beatport exclusive track X might sell 4000 downloads, but all of those sale are onnly through beatport

random unexclusive dope track Y might sell 5000 downloads total across all 150 download portals, but because those sales werent through beatport it doesnt chart at all, even though it outsold track X.

there should be a soundscan type chart for edm sales imo.


edit: i am in no way discrediting the tracks that make the beatport charts, i think alot of what makes it deserves to be there, just explaining what is actually happening from my point of view. I dont not work for beatport but if anyone knows differently of the beatport inner workings, please enlighten us.

We're on about the DJ charts rather than the top 10 sales chart.

I really don't think DJs put that much effort into their Beatport charts. Besides, they're limited to tracks sold on Beatport, and DJs are sometimes reluctant of revealing their TRUE current gems in their crate.
