i can understand people's frustration with the voting system, but if i may point out the obvious fact that those who can get their mates to vote for them would prolly be able to get their mates to BUY the records.

i think there are some brilliant mixes that haven't gotten many votes at all yet, frankly. but the fact still holds that it does a label good to see who can actually drum up support for their work, since in the long run, that's an indicator of who will pick up the record.
