Increase Your MySpace Plays and Get on the MySpace Charts
45Get on the MySpace Charts
A lot of people ask what the benefits of the MySpace music charts are. They fluctuate like the tides of the ocean and don't seem to have any rhyme or reason. This is mainly due to the overabundance of bands on MySpace. However there are some great benefits to you as an artist:
-Increase your profiles awareness through Top Artist rankings
-Climb the MySpace charts
-Have more genuine fans take notice and visit your profile
-Generate more friend requests and comments
-Expose yourself to industry executives
-Impress fans, A&Rs, promoters, managers, record labels, radio, other musicians, booking agents, etc.
-Possibly receive MySpace Gold and Platinum Plaques
How do you get on the charts? More plays and views to your page. The smaller your genre, the better chance of climbing the charts. This is the main reason you will see for instance, a rap artist with "Polka" as a genre. They are trying to get on the charts. However this really doesn't benefit the artist at all. Anyone looking for a polka band is most likely not going to stop to listen to the rap artist. Not saying it won't happen, just saying unlikely. So choose your genre wisely and promote like hell.
