Shameful website full of cheaters and fakes.
The CEO of this website changes competition rules after a contest has started in order for people with multiple profiles to continue to vote for themselves.
The same people each year end up on the 6 pack leaderboard. Each year the CEO claims that it is the best ever year when you only have to listen to the winning entries to know that is not the case. Many great songwriters have left this website after discovering how much cheating is allowed to go on.
They need to stop the locals dominating the contests with their musical nonsense over award winning songs. Yes award winning song that have won major songwriting contests away from broadjam enter their winning songs and they don't make any impact at all on this website. Avoid at all costs.

This may be speculation and an educated guess but here is my experience with Broadjam. After posting featured tunes for six or seven weeks I noticed a pattern. The ratio of the views and actual plays were nearly always the same. Perhaps there is some software inflating the numbers mixed in with the real plays to keep the customers coming back for more. I've been around the block a number of times and after seven weeks I would expect maybe, if I am lucky, to get a dozen plays. But here I got over 1200. Perhaps my music sucks big time so the inflated numbers does jump out at me. Given that, it would be hard to believe anything they do is legit. Perhaps Broadjam needs to be correctly audited.
Just wanted to add another thought on this issue. This is regarding the number of plays. It reminds me of Youtube when one purchases fake views. Not many or no comments (unless of course you buy them). I found the number of plays on Broadjam disproportionate with the comments and ratings. Granted I did get a precious few of those from real plays.
