Well, here's the thing about rankings... it's just like critics... if you believe the good stuff, you should believe the bad stuff. My tune ranked 205 in the pop category. It's not pop. It's sort of 80's retro pop. But there's no 80's retro pop category, so I have no chance. In general I don't put a whole lot of faith into groupthink ratings. What you mostly end up with is music that sounds like it was designed by committee. Look at the top 10 songs at garageband.com. They all sound like B sides from radio artists... meaning they sound a lot LIKE what's on the radio, but maybe not QUITE as catchy. They've got the contemporary vocal sound, the contemporary guitar and drum sounds, the contemporary hip cool lyrics, all that stuff, but they're just not that GOOD. Apologies if I've just insulted anyone who is actually IN the top 10 at garageband.com. I meant those OTHER songs, not YOURS!  However, any place you can post your music for free and get it heard is still worth doing.
