What keeps newly submitted songs with 1 vote of 5 from being on the Best Tracks Ever?
How old does a song have to be? Is there a minimum amount of votes as well?

Just wondering how it works.

There's a minimum number of votes that a song has to have before it gets on there, it doesn't matter how old it is. I'm not sure how many votes it takes though, maybe around 20-30. But that's just a guess.

I believe the song has to have over 50 votes about 50+ downloads and over a hundred listens. The score of the song also has to have a 4.49 or better i think.

I'm not 100% sure about that...but I think it's pretty close to those specifications.

It has to be by me. That's the only rule.

Yeah, it'd be more than 20-30, that's for the weekly top 5.
Also, is there an age limit, because otherwise, they'd probably have a whole pile of old songs by paragonX9 on the list...
I don't really know either.

Your song needs at least 20 votes to be accounted for in the rankings. And the Top 30 is never updated until Wednesday (12:00 AM EST I assume?)

Cool. That means I'm on my way. My newest song has a pretty nice Score Rank. Maybe I'll get weekly. That'd be awesome. Probably get zerobombed though...

You got another week to go, but good luck anyways.

Well yeah I know. All I said is I have a chance maybe but I doubt it. I don't make trance or techno. I could though and would probably get a best track.

you can only get on the top five if you song is at the most a week or 2 old - otherwise it won't get on ever again.

That won't stop your songs from being in the top 50 though. I am not sure what constitutes the criteria for that - a high score seems to help - not sure about downloads or listens though.

also I found a FL crime against humanity..

FL Slayer, FL Keys. FL Drums.

this is what happens when a song isnt taken off the top 50 for 3 months - anyone remember last summer? Ya. Kind of sad.
