Just thought I'd chime in. I posted one of my songs(She's The One) in Americana/ Alt Country and although it has not done very well, it's at 324 right now. This has been a real education for me. It is very helpful to have direct comparisons of what a marketable song is and is not. Although I'm not really sure about the genre question of where my song should have been, I have to say that I grudgingly admit the shortcomings of my stuff compared to many higher ranked songs ahead of me. In the end this has opened my eyes and now I understand where I need to go to improve my stuff. Good sight! I think I'm hooked!! lol
