As for the music creation apps, it does look very odd indeed. Not that there's anything wrong with the 3 apps in there, but I do wonder how they got their list?

This list is full of crap like the Artist in their top 100.

Cocaine and prostitutes. Does anyone care what those washed up old media has-beens think? Of anything they claim to have the authority to rate I can't think of one they have less actual authority in than music apps. I would care more what Pitchfork thought, but not nearly as much as I care what this blog or CDM thought.
ReplyDeleteBillboard being out of touch with the real world? no way!!
ReplyDeleteThis contest was pay to play.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should have our own awards!
ReplyDeleteDeveloper here. I don't have the e-mail anymore, but it really was pay-to-play for the music creation category. The e-mail was asking developers to submit there apps for a huge fee (a few hundred dollars). Then they said they would pick 3. Personally, I don't think this "competition" is the best way to spend marketing money...
