Rocketpoll.com announced the launch of its new website designed to find the listening public's choice for the best independent music on the web. All artists are invited to submit mp3s of their songs, have them rated by the listening public, and have downloads purchased for $0.99 each via paypal. All songs are ranked on a single chart sortable by genre (musicians choose their own genre), artist, and artist's city. The chart is updated continuously in real time, so artists can actually watch their songs go up (or down) the charts. All songs receive a minimum of 100 votes by anonymous listeners.
What sets Rocketpoll apart from other websites that have offered listener polling of unsigned bands? For one thing neither of those sites offer a way for fans to actually download the music. At Rocketpoll, you can download songs for 99 cents per then transfer it to your portable device, such as an iPod or cell phone. Another advantage is that the chart updates itself continuously so listeners don't have to wait a week or a month to find the results of their vote.
But more importantly, Rocketpoll is simple and fun to use. There is one chart and one chart only. Listeners don't have to choose between a hundred different genres. On Rocketpoll, although the artist determines the song's genre, and you can search the chart by genre, there are no separate genre charts. There's only one chart where listeners can find the best music in all genres at any particular time.
This is the future of music on the web." Rocketpoll.com
