Like — Free
Your vote. Tap as often as you want. No card needed.
What it does: Helps the song on the chart — especially for breaking into the Top 10, where only free Likes move the rank.
Start here — your first 5 minutes
If you're lost, do these steps in order. You can't break anything.
- Go to the jukebox — tap Jukebox in the menu (or Home — same player).
- Tap Listen once — your phone or browser needs permission to play sound. One tap. Done.
- Try Like — it's free. Tap as much as you want. You're voting for that song on the chart.
- Open an artist — go to Voices, pick someone, open their Artist Home. Every song there has the same buttons.
- Come back here when you want to understand Bless, Encore, Put on air, or money stuff.
On the jukebox itself, tap Quick button recap under the player for a short version of section 2–3 below.
1. Listen free
Gospel music on the jukebox is free to hear. Tap Listen once so your browser allows sound. That's it — you're in the city.
- Home and Jukebox both play the same radio stream.
- You never have to pay just to listen.
- Sharing and blessing artists is optional — but it changes lives.
2. Like, Bless & Encore — help songs stay on air
These three buttons sit right under the player. They influence how long the current song stays on the radio and how it moves up the chart.
Bless — from $0.40
A small gift that goes to the artist's pocket.
What it does: Pays the artist and adds chart power below the Top 10. Money cannot buy the Top 10 spots — that's fair.
Encore — from $1.50
Play this song again right now for everyone listening.
What it does: Replay + chart momentum. Good when a song really hit you.
3. Fans can put songs on the radio
Below that section you'll see buttons that put any song from any Artist Home on the live jukebox — not only what's already charting.
Tip — any amount
Direct gift to the artist. No chart effect. Use it when you just want to say thank you.
Put on air — $5 subscribers · $10 free
$5 with Fan Home ($7), Artist ($12), or DJ ($50). $10 on a free account. Puts a song into rotation for 4 guaranteed plays in 7 days. After that, free Likes from the city decide if it stays. Does not jump the queue.
Any listener can do this for any approved song on an Artist Home page.
Interrupt radio now with this song — $50+
Only Interrupt jumps the queue. Full song on air for everyone listening. Big chart boost. Your song gets extra plays over the next week.
Usually plays right away. If the song playing now is protected (can't be cut off mid-track), yours plays as soon as that song finishes. Same price either way.
4. The chart — who's rising
The chart is the city's scoreboard. It shows which gospel songs worshippers are rallying behind.
- Top 10: Moved by free Likes only. No one can pay to buy those spots.
- #11 and below: Likes, Bless, Encore, and paid radio actions can help a song climb.
- Rough rule: About six chart-power moves ≈ one step up the rank (varies by competition).
5. Other jukebox buttons
Shuffle — $3
Mixes up the next 15 songs in the queue. Fun — does not change the chart.
Buy track
When offered, own the download. Most of the sale goes to the artist.
Share
Send the song or jukebox link to friends, church, or social media.
6. Artist Home — one page per artist
Every worship minister, singer, rapper, choir, or church has an Artist Home. Think of it as their ministry page in the city.
- Songs & videos — listen, preview, buy downloads, Bless, Like, Encore, Tip, Put on air, Interrupt.
- Live & replays — when they go live or host a concert, it shows here.
- Artist Circle — follow them for updates, prayer, new releases, and chart rallies.
- Booking — churches and planners can request them for events (when the artist turns it on).
- Share link — send their page to your church group; friends can bless from your link.
7. Fan Home — for super fans ($7/mo)
You never need to pay to listen. Fan Home is optional — for people who want extra perks.
Free forever
Jukebox, Hangout chat, unlimited Likes, pay-as-you-go Bless/Encore/Tip/Put on air, free concert RSVPs.
Fan Home — $7/mo

8. Around the city
Alabasta is more than a player. Here's what else is here:
- Jukebox
- Live gospel radio — listen and bless. Kingdom Main is the main channel everyone hears first.
- Hangout
- Chat while music plays (also called Town Square). Pray, rally artists, react to what's on air — not a private DM app; it's the city's living room.
- Chart
- See who's rising. Rally your favorites. Top 10 = free Likes only.
- Voices
- Browse artists, singers, musicians, producers — open any Artist Home.
- Events
- Concerts, ticketed shows, free RSVP streams — see section 9.
- The Wall
- Blogs, testimonies, devotionals, encouragement from the community.
- Kingdom Scout / City Points
- Discover hidden talent, earn points for showing up and listening. Points can unlock jukebox perks in demo mode. Points never buy chart rank.
- Classroom
- Guides for artists, producers, and DJs — how splits work, how to upload, how chart week runs.
9. Events & live streams
Artists and DJs can host live worship nights, concerts, and streams on their profile.
- Free RSVP — show up, watch, encourage (Bless) during the set — same culture as the jukebox.
- Ticketed shows — artist sets the price; most ticket money goes to them.
- Replays — many lives save a replay on the Artist Home afterward.
- DJ takeover hour — paid DJs can take Kingdom Main for an hour, then listeners can stay on their DJ channel.
11. DJs & producers
Same city, different lanes. You can listen for free to all of them.
Gospel DJ — $50/mo
Your own DJ channel page. 1 hour/day on Kingdom Main (takeover). Build a playlist, upload a prerecorded mix, or go live on camera. Fans can tip and vote on your set. Interrupt costs $40 during your hour (not $50).
Producer — $12/mo
Beats, compositions, collab credits. Worship ministers tag you on releases — you earn your split on sales and engagement. Listed in the Producer directory.
Artist / church — $12/mo
Full Artist Home: up to 24 songs, 10 videos, live concerts, booking, ministry hub link for Instagram/Facebook, rotation slots on Kingdom Main.
12. Money & fairness — plain English
We publish how money moves so artists trust the city.
- Bless, Tip, Encore, Put on air, Interrupt, track sales — most of the money goes to the artist (and credited producers). Exact splits are in each artist's dashboard and on the payouts page.
- Top 10 chart — only free Likes move those spots. No one can pay to buy #1.
- Below #10 — Likes, Bless, Encore, and paid radio actions can help climb.
- Community pool — when the city grows big enough, faithful artists on rotation share in a pool (subscription + tenure rules).
- Protected song — if someone paid for a full Interrupt ($50+), that song plays to the end before the next Interrupt goes on air. Same price either way — you just wait your turn fairly.
13. Sign in & account
You can listen without an account. You need to sign in when you pay (Bless, buy, subscribe) so the money and perks attach to you.
- Sign in — use the button in the top menu (Google, email, etc. depending on what's enabled).
- After you pay — receipts and Fan Home perks live in your account area in the app.
- Artists — apply first, then get an Artist Home after approval. Upload and payouts need a completed profile.
14. Common questions
- Do I have to pay to listen?
- No. Gospel on the jukebox is free. Pay only when you want to Bless, buy, or put a song on air.
- What's the difference between Like and Bless?
- Like = free vote for the chart. Bless = small gift ($0.40+) that pays the artist and adds chart power below the Top 10.
- What's the difference between Put on air and Interrupt?
- Put on air ($5 subscribers · $10 free) = song enters rotation (4 guaranteed plays in 7 days). Interrupt = full song on air now for everyone listening — only Interrupt jumps the queue.
- Why didn't my Interrupt play instantly?
- The song on air may be protected — someone else paid for a full play that's still running. Yours queues fairly right after. Same $50 price.
- Can I buy my way to #1 on the chart?
- No. Top 10 is free Likes only. Money helps below that line.
- I'm an artist — how do I get on the radio?
- Apply, get approved, upload songs to your Artist Home. Fans (or you) use Put on air or Interrupt. Chart Likes keep you there.
- Where's the full technical list?
- Features by role — tabs for Listener, Artist, DJ, Producer with every perk listed.
