What's A Stereofame Label?
Great question. In a historical sense, a label was (and unfortunately for musicians still is) a company that signs musicians to contracts then produces and distributes their music (and then keeps most of the money). Just as bad, the "old labels" overlook thousands and thousands of great musicians. By starting a label on Stereofame, a listener can search for and sign talented musicians to their label, then begin promoting them to others and share in the musicians' success through the accumulation of their own Stereofame points.

What is SF Rank?
Stereofame displays artist popularity by SF rank rather than points. Similar to Google's "Page Rank," SF rank is based on listener popularity. The more popular the artist is based on thumbs up and other actions (as performed by the listeners), the higher the SF rank of the artist. This will ensure that artists are ranked based on actions performed by the listeners, and not by the actions performed by the artists. With SF rank, Stereofame members solely determine which artists are the most popular.
SF Rank is also applied to Labels. Labels are ranked based upon the success of the artists that they have signed and that success is determined by Stereofame members. This will ensure that labels who are really good at picking out great artists rise to the top of the rankings.
SF Rank does not affect the point system, and Stereofame members may view artist and label points on members profile page.
Bottom line: the best artists and the best labels rise to the top and the SF ranking is determined by Stereofame members.
