dmusic Song Chart

1o1rocks	Date: February 19, 2007 @ 10:08 AM hi people, is there a chart that rates the music here on dmusic, sort of like billboards?? besides..the top 20 streams, etc, are there other real top 10 charts?
DeadraveN	Date: February 19, 2007 @ 10:40 AM each genre (and subgenre) has it's own "chart" that you can find by clicking on the name of the genre (or sub), but it's all just top 20 streams from the day before.. most members of the community here could point you at some good music though.. what genre's you interested in?
Orion	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 9:02 AM looks like Alternative, DeadraveN
PrincessTast...	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 9:04 AM No! You must listen to Flying Apparatus! It is the way of the future!
Orion	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 9:14 AM McCaberoaddogs are good!
sillythewilly	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 10:19 AM I second Flying Apparatus...... well, at least from that kooky Hen song
zedsalt	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 10:22 AM Is that a Wood fretted electric violin in your avatar?

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 5:47 PM Dmusic is awesome but the charts system needs an overhaul. It is a top 20 only and is heavily influenced by people streaming their own tracks just to get ahead, so I don't bother with it one iota because it is about as realistic and fair as an election run by a military junta in a 3rd world country who want to be seen as 'democratic' while intimidating and vote rigging to stay in power. MOst of the songs in the top 20 on most charts are by artists with about 5 points from songs they uploaded in 2003 and who haven't contributed anything to shoutboxi ng, forums or comments on other songs also...

GTOriginal	Date: April 26, 2007 @ 6:20 PM Kinda harsh, comparing the DM charts with both the 2000 and 2004 US Presidential elections. I demand a recount PS - Today is the very first day I saw one of my own on there in the 4 years I'm here, I think it was in like position 19, and a collab to boot. I should latch on to talented people more often.
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 2:04 AM Well, I got my first ever #1 yesterday and I didn't stream the song once. So there!
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 8:10 AM Congrats Buzz . Some selections ARE genuine and given the interest in your collab with Dan, I am certain you fall into this category. Usually the other kind have multiple titles on the charts simultaneously and have never been seen or heard from in years, unlike yourself, you are a very interactive member of the community.
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 27, 2007 @ 10:09 AM I know, I was just playing The vast majority are indeed genuine but when you consider how the charts are influenced not just by registered users but anonymous ones too, it seems a little unfair. After all, a real chart system doesn't count downloads by "pirates" does it? Charts would probably be a bit more accurate if people had to be signed in first before streaming a song. Maybe if a comment over a certain size was also included...
DeadraveN	Date: April 28, 2007 @ 7:01 PM should be by unique streams to, by ip address or something. I'm no coder, but there has to be a way around people streaming their own track a gazillion times...
