Had a listen to your collab & reviewed, Mich. Good stuff.

Yes, you do count as being up there. I wish I had your vocals too. >_>

Although my Still Alive remix is on Top 30. That makes for three remixes of the same song on the front page.

Anyway, I'd like to add you to my fav artists, but since you have no audio submissions that'll be hard >.<
Doesn anyone know a way around this?

Hmmm. I'll upload something sometime, just for the sake of it. :D I'll let you know! Thanks for the comments, guys.

I hate to sound like an asshole, but I don't care for any of the songs that axeFX has. Personally I don't think they're the most amazing songs ever, and the fact that all of his songs have gotten top 5 make me want to punch babies of sorts.

I'd have to admit when I first heard the song I wanted to do something with it.. but as it seams everyone is already on that idea.. maybe I still might make a version..

Variety?

No system is perfect. Anyone who tries will be hard pressed to come up with a system to effectively determine Weekly Top 5. You can't use nominations because of crews that could form (as MaestroRage said). You can't have it moderated because mods can only listen to so much music, because of bias, and there's already the featured music on the NG FP. The only way, I think, to make top 5 work better would be to better empower the people. How do you give the people power when they can already vote?

If what you want is to increase exposure, then there's a very simple way to do that: Random selection. Five of the songs submitted in either the last week/month/24 hours, doesn't include songs that are on the newest 30 listing or top 5.

Hey, are you here mainly for getting the tops?
okay, it's awesome if you get one, but you should be here to improve, not for the sole purpose of getting those tops..
I met loads of people on NG, and because of that I a where I am now, and I'm getting proud of the music I make.
