Nashville Bound Quietly Wrecks MySpace Top Artist Credibility
Nashville Bound, the renegade outlaw band from Music City USA has made a shambles of the MySpace so called music experts ranking system for the month of May finishing in the top 5 in Swing and top 10 in Western Swing in MySpace plays per day the entire month of May. Yet the valley boys of MySpace, still having trouble accepting a country band on top of the Swing charts, bounced the band around the ratings like a whacked out hacker ranking them everywhere from #14 to #90.
It seems this unsigned country band has totally confounded the MySpace gurus while leaving the vast majority of MySpace ranked bands in their dust, thousands of plays behind the bad boys of Nashville. To add insult to injury, nearly a dozen emails have been sent to the MySpace experts questioning their bizzare rankings and the only MySpace reaction has been to address unrelated issues with computer generated responses. Do any humans actually work at MySpace?
Speculation is that unsigned bands with no contract with MySpace as a record label or merchandiser will be penalized if they do not advertise on the Murdock owned MySpace, and music experts at MySpace seem to have no regard for the fans playing the songs of groups like Nashville Bound. Is there a conflict of interest when a rating company like MySpace ignores the fans? Is it a monopolistic unfair business practice when MySpace can refuse to recognize their own statistics like plays today?
The latte sippers at MySpace seem to get away with anything unlike another Murdock entertainment endeavor American Idol where the votes of the fans dictate the results of the judging. Perhaps Murdock, News Corp or Fox should investigate their internet money machine and make sure the payola practices still prevalent in the record and radio industry have not seduced the music experts of MySpace.
So the Nashville Bound outlaws continue destroying the credibility of the MySpace Top Artist ratings every day that MySpace music experts refuse to reward their performance earned by the action of the fans. Then again what would one expect when the music experts at MySpace have rap and hip hop bands at the top of the Western Swing charts?
One day congress, the Justice Department, the FTC, the SEC and FCC might wake up and see that unfair business practices, restraint of trade, monopolistic practices and very stupid management are a dangerous combination in cyber space and do not serve the public interest. Then again, how much does the corporate conglomerate MySpace contribute to political campaigns?
