Something weird happened today. The folks at OurStage removed "Agincourt," from the Indie-Pop channel, apparently because they felt it didn't match the genre very well. I didn't know they did that. Good to know. I kind of agree that it didn't (more of a long-ish war ballad), but there was nowhere else to place it after I had placed other songs. The funny thing was that it was doing pretty well (150th out of 836)!
One thing I don't understand is why I keep hearing songs in other channels that clearly don't match the genre either. I just assumed that it would be a self-correcting system. If an Indie-Pop audience thinks a song doesn't hold up against its competitor, it won't rank high on the chart, I assume. It seems odd that there would be any oversight, content-wise, that did have to do with violating copyright or vulgarity or some such.
