Artistopia Help Center

A. Those Artistopia members that take the time and effort to actively and properly take advantage of every aspect of their Artistopia experience, by including every feasible ounce of information on their work, experience, and education are on their way to becoming a Featured and Top Ranked Artist. As said before, ALL information MUST be accurate and legitimate. Artistopia in no way plays favorites, and does not choose WHO is placed. Placement is by the artist's credentials and hard work only.

Q. How do the Artistopia Top Ten Requested Songs work?

A. Artistopia's Top 10 Requested Songs will show the viewer which of our member's songs are the most frequently downloaded, thus showing that artist's potential popularity. How the number is derived is that we look at when the song was entered and divide that by the number of downloads to get the average number of downloads per day within the last 60 days. So again, the average per day represents the popularity thrust of that member. Artist self-manipulation for chart placement is not tolerated nor recognized.

Q. How often are your Artistopia Music Charts updated?

A. The Music Charts are in real-time, showcasing the top downloads at Artistopia. You have the option of viewing and listening to the Top 5 Genre Songs of each parent heading genre and the All-Time Top 100 Songs. Music Charts

Q. Why is a song "Retired"?

A. Artistopia has 3 types of charts:
Charts by Genres
Top 100 Songs
Retired Chart Songs

Each of the charts are designed to accommodate a particular time in the life of a song/track. From left to right, the song moves as it ages. If the song is in the Top 100 "All Time", it does not mean it will be in the Top Genres at that time. Most likely it was there and has seen its time. The top Genres Charts include songs that have been established in the past 6 months (or so as we can't reveal the exact timeframe). Top 100 All Time is the following 6 months or so. And Retired Charts are there for songs that "maintain" momentum thereafter even though they are off the "popular" charts considering the song is now over 12 months old, etc.

You might say this is an odd way of doing this, however, if you step back and look at the process carefully, you will see it mimics real life charts. You don't see Elvis Presley on the top 40 charts, however, you do see him on the greatest of all time charts, etc. This helps prevent stagnating songs and encourages the artist to continue publishing music to be included in the charts. Lastly, no one here has the ability to manipulate the charts whatsoever. It is completely managed by the technology.
