Hololive Dreams Create Chart Upload Guide: Publish & Promote

Uploading a community chart in hololive Dreams requires navigating the submission process, the 72-hour community voting window, and the official rotation calendar. This hololive Dreams Create Chart upload guide covers the submission pipeline from finished chart to featured rotation, the promotion strategies that maximize your chart's votes, and the seasonal calendar that determines when your chart appears in the official song pool.

The Submission Pipeline From Draft to Published

The Create Chart submission pipeline in hololive Dreams has five stages: (1) Author and save the chart as a draft in the in-game editor, (2) Calibrate BPM and timing offset to within 5ms of perfect, (3) Submit through the Submit Chart button which uploads to the community voting queue, (4) Wait through the 72-hour voting window and respond to community feedback, (5) If approved, the chart enters the Community Charts rotation for roughly two weeks. Each stage has specific requirements that affect whether your chart progresses.

The submission button is in the editor's File menu, and submitting requires you to confirm difficulty tag, song selection, and chart title. Submitting a chart consumes one submission credit, which refreshes weekly. Free-to-play accounts get one submission credit per week, while subscribers and event-reward holders can get up to three credits per week. Plan your submissions around strong chart designs rather than submitting low-quality drafts to use up credits.

Community Voting Mechanics and How Votes Are Counted

The community voting window lasts 72 hours, during which any player can upvote, downvote, or flag your chart for difficulty mis-tagging or calibration issues. Votes are weighted by the voter's own PvP rank, so a HoloMyth player's upvote counts more than a Bronze player's upvote. The weighting is roughly 1.5x for Master rank, 2x for HoloMyth rank, and 1x for lower ranks. This weighting prevents vote manipulation by new accounts.

The flag system is the second vote mechanic, and flags are reviewed by community moderators before any action. A chart with one or two active flags is held in moderation review, which delays the promotion decision by 24-48 hours. A chart with three or more flags is automatically rejected. The most common flag is "difficulty mis-tagging," which is why honest difficulty labeling is critical for chart survival.

Promotion Strategies for Higher Vote Counts

The four promotion strategies that maximize your chart's vote count are: (1) share the chart on social media with the in-game share link, which gives the chart 30-50 initial views, (2) post a 30-second preview clip to the hololive Dreams subreddit or Discord, which exposes the chart to the core community, (3) tag your chart with relevant phrases like "vocal-phrase chart" or "stream-friendly" so voters know what they are clicking into, and (4) respond to community feedback during the 72-hour window, because voters who see you actively engaging with feedback are more likely to upvote.

The fifth strategy is to submit during off-peak community activity, when there are fewer competing charts in the queue. Submitting on a Tuesday morning (US time) typically gets you 20-30% more votes than submitting on a Saturday afternoon, because the Saturday queue is crowded with weekend submissions. According to community testing, off-peak submissions have a 25% promotion rate versus 12% for peak submissions.

Seasonal Rotation Calendar and Chart Longevity

Charts that pass community voting enter the Community Charts rotation, which appears in the song pool for all players for roughly two weeks. The rotation is segmented by difficulty tier and chart submission date, with newer charts getting prominent placement. Top-voted charts each week get an extended rotation of 4 weeks rather than the standard 2 weeks, plus a "Featured Community Chart" badge that boosts visibility.

The seasonal calendar matters because some weeks are more competitive than others. Weeks with major game updates (new holomem releases, new song packs, new event launches) see 2-3x more chart submissions than normal weeks, which dilutes votes for any single chart. The best weeks to submit are the off-season weeks between major updates, where your chart has the highest chance of being featured.

Featured Community Chart and Long-Term Rotation

Charts that receive the most upvotes each week get the "Featured Community Chart" badge, which extends the rotation to 4 weeks and gives the chart prominent placement in the song list. Featured charts also get a chance at long-term inclusion in the Legacy Charts pool, which is a curated set of community charts that remain in rotation for several months rather than the standard 2-4 weeks.

The Legacy Charts pool is the highest honor for a community chart author, and only the top 1-2% of submitted charts make it. To be considered for Legacy Charts, your chart needs to maintain a positive vote ratio for at least 4 consecutive weeks, which means it must age well in the rotation rather than peaking and declining. The community consensus is that charts with vocal-phrase-based note placement and difficulty honesty tend to age best, because players replay them for skill development long after the initial hype dies down.
