The Starcount score is simply the number we get from counting and adding together public social media data from the top11 social media platforms and applying our ‘smart’ formula.
The bigger your Starcount score the higher up the chart you are!
The 11 platforms we count are:
The more platforms stars have official (verified) accounts with, the bigger their score could be!
We have a strict policy of vetting and analysing accounts to ensure that as far as is practical and possible we only count data from official accounts. If you think we have missed or incorrectly added any please notify us at team@starcount.com or use the ‘Feedback’ tab on the left of the site and we will look to have them added or amended.
Calculating the score is quite straightforward
We continually gather metric data for all these networks.
Where available, we count 2 measurements on each platform:
- Popularity (P)
- Engagement (E)
Then we apply a weighting to each network which reflects scale and reach of the network and adjusts for the different behaviours and metrics.
The weighting is constantly revised and changes to reflect the dynamic nature of the data we
measure. It also allows us to add new networks at any point. The weighting ratio is starcount’s secret ingredient so you can understand why we keep it under wraps!
The maximum Starcount score is 1,000,000,000.
Starcount scores determine the stars chart positions
The chart position in any chart is determined by the starcount score. The higher the starcount score the higher the chart position. Some stars are in lots of different charts so you may see different chart positions reflecting their position in each chart.
Coming soon – more networks will be added. The more of your social accounts you connect to Starcount the bigger your score could be. We have a strict policy of ensuring we only include accounts and activity from ‘connected’ accounts. If you think we have missed or incorrectly added any please notify us at team@starcount.com or use the ‘Feedback’ tab on the left of the site and we will look to have them added or amended. When you connect your accounts to Starcount and join the fan charts of your favourite stars - we give you points for actions, such as likes and comments. We add up the points you’ve earned in the last 7 days and each day we update your Fanscore. You have a Fanscore for each of the fan charts you are on. The higher your Fanscore the higher up you are in each stars fan chart.
