Yeah, that's pretty much the case Graham. I'm not interested in chart rankings, because they are easily manipulated. Just raw song plays means that there are the general public who like your tunes and want to play them.

I did try Songramp, but found it was more for musicians, rather than the general public. I got a "not really interested" signal, so didn't bother any more.

As one who writes "weird" non commercial stuff, I think I'm finding where my music suits, and where it doesn't. All horses for courses I reckon.
