New Music Licensing Feature: Peer Review Rank
Broadjam has launched a new feature for the Music Licensing Opportunities service. Artists can now see how their song(s) ranked in the peer review process. The peer reviews are used to determine the order in which the songs are presented to the person who is providing the opportunity, and now you’re able see what percentile your song is in for each submission you make.

Once you’ve completed two sets of reviews for each song you’ve submitted to an opportunity, you’ll be able to see the percentile ranking of the songs you submitted. This is based on the "Good" "Better" "Best" peer review score. Visit the My Submissions section of your profile to see which opportunities are currently open for review.
