How to vote
- All votes are cast via the music player. To vote simply launch the music player from the "vote for this song" link on any artist's profile page, listen and vote, easy! You can also access the music player from the music link on the left hand menu bar on all pages of the website.
Remember:
- For your votes to count you must vote for at least 3 bands but you can cast votes for up to 10 bands. (this is to help new bands get discovered, and so that user votes reflect quality results, rather than only reflecting only the artists with the largest email list of fans.
- You can view and manage the votes you have cast in the music player (when you or logged in)

What does it mean to become a 'fan' of an artist?
When a TPMA member becomes a fan of an artist, they allow us to let that artist to do special things for their fans - to keep them updated about things relevant to that artist. This is useful for fans to stay informed about that artist's upcoming events, tours, merchandise and music
Fans email addresses are not shared directly with artists, so that fans can be sure that they will not be added to any spam lists. At TPMA, fans have total control and can unsubscribe from an artist's newsletter simply by removing that artist from their "fans" list. The option to do this is available after you log in.
