What DJs played on Instagram, Sep 7 to 13, 2026

An identification is one track matched to one post. We read what the DJ wrote in the caption, what people wrote underneath it, the audio Instagram attaches to the post, and the audio itself, and a track only counts once the evidence lines up. If a record turns up in three posts that is three identifications; the DJ number beside it counts people, not plays.

A DJ here is an account in the CrateWire catalog that we refresh on a schedule. Accounts a signed out visitor typed in once and nobody ever followed are left out of every number on this page. We only print a handle when that account has enough identified tracks to have a public tracklist of its own, so a track can have more DJs behind it than it has names next to it.

The week runs from Monday 00:00 UTC to the following Monday 00:00 UTC, and a post belongs to the week the DJ posted it, not the week we got around to reading it. A DJ added on a Friday whose back catalog we scan that night files under the weeks they actually posted in.

Stories count. They are a large share of what DJs put out and most of them are gone inside a day, so leaving them out would make every total here read low.

The numbers freeze when the report is written. Anything identified after that belongs to the week it was posted in and never gets added back into a published table, because a page whose numbers move is not a page anyone can quote.

Where a track or a genre is marked up or down, the earlier number is the one the published report for Aug 31 to Sep 6, 2026 shows.

Genres come from the iTunes catalog, one per track where there is a match, and plenty of records never get one. Every share on this page is a share of the identifications that do carry a genre, and the line above the bars says how big that slice is.
