New site
Just checking out the new site and layout. Looks great, thanks for the hard work everyone has put in to get the site relaunched and looking the way it does. The feedback feature is great and I have just signed myself up with Stoneman to contribute.
The only negative I can see is no more stats of any kind. I enjoyed them in the past cos they were confirmation that the songs I spend up to 50 hours recording were actually being listened to. And also because I have, or at least had, an obsessed fan whose identity I can guess, but whose presence here I could only work out by checking which combination of songs got played on a given day (the fan had her favourites). Yeah, I needed to know for my own reasons :)
But seriously, I do believe the complete absence of stats will deter some new subscribers, as they are a standard feature on all sites like this. The song charts aren't important and never really signified anything.,. but I think at some point it would be good to reintroduce some simple stats that just tally the number of listens an artist's song gets over time. Just a suggestion.

Hi,
Actually there are stats. It must've been one of those pages that got knocked out of wack from the switchover. If you notice a page working like that in the future, post in the support forum and let us know. I just did a quick fix on that page. As you can see by the disclaimer though, we attest little credibility to our stats. It's part of our new policy of blunt honesty about our shortcomings.
