Track the music, creators, videos, podcasts, and culture driving Jamaica’s digital conversation — with every chart clearly labelled as Top in Jamaica, Top Jamaican, or an SMJ Index, so no ranking is misread as measuring something it doesn’t.

Two modules from the Entertainment Pulse roadmap need more than a free API to do properly, so they're not faked here with placeholder data:
- Jamaican Artist Momentum Index — a composite score across Apple Music, YouTube, and search interest; Google Trends has no free API, so the search component needs a stand-in signal before this can launch honestly.
- Jamaica Entertainment Calendar — a promoter/venue submission and moderation workflow, not a scraped ticketing feed.
