Celebrating creativity, engagement, and community building on Vocal.
Welcome to our weekly Leaderboard update! We're delighted to highlight Vocal's most popular stories. Join us as we recognize this week's standout contributors and their remarkable achievements.
A reminder of some ground rules we use to formulate the Leaderboard:
The time period of data analyzed for each weekly Leaderboard is collected from 12:00am Wednesday - 11:59pm Tuesday ET each week. Only top level comments and replies by unique Vocal+ creators will count, comments or replies by the story author will be excluded. You don’t need to be Vocal+ to appear on the leaderboard. You can appear on the Leaderboard once per week. You can appear on the Leaderboard multiple weeks in a row. No AI generated content.

It would be nice if Vocal used other criteria as they did in the beginning. Stories with the most views, likes, and comments used to win.
Oh wow! Thanks Vocal - and congrats to everyone. Yeah Aarsh. So, I'm in the US at the moment and not used to seeing the L/B this early. It's great. Thanks for the heads up Judey.
