Regarding the limited genres on Ourstage, I emailed them the other day and asked them to put in a bluegrass genre--listening to both the acoustic and folk channels, I've heard a lot of what sounds more like bluegrass. Plus, most of my band's songs sound bluegrassy, so I had a difficult time finding channels in which to enter them. They did get back to me and say that they'd look into it.
I gotta agree about the number of plays being related to the competition. I know Ourstage says that's not the case; however, we have on song in Tropical, which only has about 65 entries. It's gotten over a thousand plays, whereas our songs in the larger channels have gotten around a hundred or so plays. To me, that correlation is obvious because there's just no way that over a thousand people have just searched that song out on their own in the last month.
