How we measure
We took 289 DJ sets, each with the tracklist the DJ or the show published, and ran every one through the recognition every plan gets. In 285 of them, 6,795 released tracks across 10 genre families, Headliner then listened again on the same audio to what that run left open: the parts without a name, the parts to check and the time no row covers. So each of those sets is measured without and with Headliner. The plans' recognition ran from 16 October 2026 to 18 October 2026; Headliner listened on 18 October 2026.
A track counts as found only when its name matches the published tracklist. What Headliner fills in is kept only when a check confirms it against the record's own audio: we line the record's preview up against that part of the set and it fits, or a second, independent listen matches that moment to the preview. A name that was there already is never lost.

How we measure
A set with a real tracklist
The DJ or the show published the tracklist. On 186 sets it has times.
Every plan listens
We run every set through the recognition every plan gets, the free account too.
Headliner listens again
Only to what stayed open: the parts without a name, the parts to check and the time no row covers.
We count what is right
A name counts only when it is in the published tracklist and the record itself fits that part of the set.
Without and with Headliner, by genre family
Found: the released tracks of the published tracklists that the setlist names. Fills right: of what Headliner filled in on the 186 sets whose tracklist has times, the share that matched it.

By genre

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardstyle | 12 | 282 | 141 50% | 205 72% | +45% |

Percentages are rounded down. More is Headliner's extra tracks against what the run found itself, in the sets where it found at least one. A genre is named in a promise only from ten sets and 100 tracks found without Headliner.

What you pay
You only pay for what we find. With Headliner on demand you spend minutes to have the parts a set left open searched; if it finds nothing, or the search fails, every minute comes back.
What this does not promise
Wrong names still happen: on the 186 sets whose tracklist has times, Headliner let 39 wrong names through the check, about one in every 6 hours of music. Unreleased tracks and IDs are counted apart: a catalogue rarely knows them, and they are in none of these numbers. Small genres rest on a few sets, so their numbers move as we add sets.
