We Got to Talk

DannyHowe2	Date: February 8, 2010 @ 9:54 AM Why is Vocaloids setting at # 2 on the entire site ?. I tested it off line and it seemed to climb so I kept playing and playing it. Like all artist I like hearing myself so offline I play myself . This means my charting wasn’t for real. Can you imagine what one single person could do with DSL much less an entire band or a friend or 2.
sunshine	Date: February 8, 2010 @ 10:02 AM you play with yourself what? sorry danny, you said all that stuff and i just heard, ...nevermind... the charts are fairer here than battle of the slams, i mean battle of the bands.
Opossum	Date: February 8, 2010 @ 10:05 AM Hmmm, I never notice the charts, really. Honest.
DannyHowe2	Date: February 8, 2010 @ 10:13 AM LOL! Yes in a way I agree I like that everyone can be seen and heard. I do especially like the way the songs when first uploaded are on the main page. But I think ot odd that Vocaloids are setting at number 2 they are not even real people.
sunshine	Date: February 8, 2010 @ 10:18 AM from what i understand because of low participation right now, only a few plays will land anything at the top of the charts for a minute or two...and it makes sense that people would check those out to see what it sounds like, although i have not done so yet.

I like the way they are arranged with the new songs off to the side that is a great idea but what is the point to the charts if they are not for real? I totally agree that talent and charting sometimes has little or nothing to do with each other , I mean on any net chart if you have enough friends it would be the same situation. For that matter on any chart if you have enough fans it would chart and that of course is the idea of charts but you do not have to be good to have fans just very popular.

That sure makes sense and everyone gets to be heard that is great I like that but even at a high participation level with a few friends with DSL , well you know. I have a friend who I uploaded a few songs for on a site and it took me a half an hour , it took her 2 minutes to download it.
zedsalt	Date: February 9, 2010 @ 9:36 AM If you pay really close attention to both your song stats and the charts, you'll see that traffic here has degenerated to the point where one listen can get you in the top ten for most genres, most days, many weeks...I don't know about months...some genres, probably so. Upstream flow is always going to be a lot slower than downstream. Speedtest.net is a pretty good way to compare and contrast different times of day, different connections, etc.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: February 9, 2010 @ 2:30 PM If you like charts sign up to Soundclick. Zed is correct about traffic here. Dmusic and charts has never quite been executed correctly. Self streaming used to influence the chart, it was supposedly fixed. Having said that, most of us who have been here a while just accept it and many of never even bother looking at the charts, thankfully, (unlike Soundclick) there are other reasons to come here.

Well I do have an account at SoundClick as a band administrator and I have 2 songs on there myself. I like it here like a thousand times better , that site is gigantic and the spirit is very competitive at times. I do not really have a problem with this I was just surprised by it . One thing about here is everyone can be heard and is upfront the way it is worked even if you disappear from all view then obviously all you got to do is delete your song and re upload it even if it is not on any chart it is on the right side box for awhile and you can not beat that for fair , that is all most artist really want a chance to be seen and heard. You do not have to be good to chart real high just very popular , of course being good is many times the reason but not always. You can keep Randy Travis I just want the promoter he started out with, LOL People are nicer here than any music site I ever been on and are more open to original songs and original styles , most other sites I have seen I think have become over generic from an artistic perspective,
miraclemaker	Date: February 10, 2010 @ 5:28 AM I think when in comes to getting on the charts all one must do is really up a track. Then based on the amount of streams and or comments the track receives probably would make it climb higher on the charts. But as stated above its not the most important thing And as far as Click, I got a page there too, but its not the same when it comes to interaction. Unfortunatley other sites like myvirus (lol) you got to go in there armed and have protection. I know Im ramblin on but I for got the whole point of this anyway. :lamo:
