College Radio Partnership
Your station breaks artists.
Now you can prove it.
Every DJ at every station has said "I played them before anyone." WaxFeed gives you timestamped, verified proof—and ranks your station against every other station in the country.
The Problem
College radio has the best taste in the country. Nobody knows it.
Your DJs discover artists months before Spotify playlists catch up. You put albums in rotation that later go gold. But there's no record. No proof. No credit.
Meanwhile, algorithms get credit for "discovery" that college radio actually made happen.

Timestamped proof. Gold Spin badge. Station ranking.
How It Works
DJs review albums
When your DJs review an album on WaxFeed, their position is recorded. "You were reviewer #7 of this album."
Albums trend
When an album hits 100+ reviews, enters Billboard, or gains momentum— everyone who called it early gets credit.
Station earns badges
Gold Spin (first 10 reviewers), Silver Spin (first 50), Bronze Spin (first 100). These roll up to your station's Tastemaker Score.
Station Leaderboards
Which station has the best taste?
For the first time, there's an objective answer. Station Tastemaker Scores aggregate all DJs' badges. Conference rankings let you compete against natural rivals.
Imagine being able to say: "WRVU is the #1 taste station in the SEC, with 47 Gold Spins this semester."
