What's the worst possible thing that can happen on Ourstage? Your song gets listened to several thousand times in a given month and doesn't rank very high at the end. That's the worst case scenario. From there, it can gain fans, it can be discovered by any number of people, it can rank well enough to get in the finals, it can then help you be chosen for a performance opportunity, it can win a channel and win some money, or it could win the grand prize.
The amount a song gets listened to probably is skewed. I'm in a category with roughly 1200 entries. How many times did my song get counted as listened? 43 and it finished in 438th place - nowhere close to several thousand listens. To be sure, I'd even bet that of those 43 listens maybe 50% made it halfway through the song. In fact the only thing you're being counted on for a listen is the first 15 seconds.
