And if you can't (or don't want to) wait for somebody famous to decide which "genre" of your song is going to be a hit first, you can encourage other folks to cover it and see what happens. My song "When I Jump Off the Cliff I'll Think of You," which I did as bluegrass, was recorded by two other guys as rock 'n' roll and electronica, respectively, and the electronica one turned out to be real popular (who'da thunk?). It was also being performed by a punk-rock band. (Our band does it as rock 'n' roll, too.)
