Your rating is based on hits, not full plays of songs. You spam your link everywhere which is picked up by bots. Nobody in the category you claim to be #1 in has had a gig in years, all 5 people/bands. ReverbNation is ridiculed by real artists but you wouldn't know that as they don't associate with you. You lost your #1 ranking to a band that had no music at all on RN. That proves it is not based on people listening to songs but the amount of spamming. Even if it were, ReverbNation will sell "listens" to boost ratings.
From the archives:
The field is now down to 4 on the local losers list. One has no posted songs, no videos, no events, no bio, nothing, only 3 fans with one of them being Fatso.
ItsMeFlock has no available songs at this time.
ItsMeFlock has no available videos at this time.
ItsMeFlock has no upcoming events at this time.
ItsMeFlock has no past events at this time.
There were at least 2 others on the list that also had no music.
Oddly enough, there has been only one real musician with legit credentials to show up on the list, Sean O'Rourke, who is at #3. My guess is that it isn't him running the account. There is nothing to be gained by being on ReverbNation except for scorn by his peers.
