Beatport Banned Tracks -
14 June 2014, at 06:58
So this Twitter account is showing which tracks are banned from Beatport cz of cheating. It's not 100% waterproof tho, they monitor which tracks with top ranks have suddenly vanished and the links don't work anymore.

Quote
— Are you affiliated in any way to Beatport?
— No, we are not.

— Why do Beatport sometimes ban tracks?
— Sometimes artists / Record Labels buy their own tracks multiple times in order to make it into the Beatport Top100 chart in order to make a record look popular. Also Beatport users (mostly Dj’s) love to listen to the Top 100 hence being in the top 100 is sure to boost sales.

— Does Beatport ban all tracks which have been bought multiple times by the artist / record label?
— We are not Beatport but we don’t think so! Its impossible for them to notice each time this is happening (it’s probably happening right now as you read this)!

— How do you know when a track has been banned by Beatport?
— Our automated system monitors tracks / Top 100 in all genres on the Beatport website. It shows us which tracks have suddenly vanished! Then we check the links ourselves in order to confirm we then post to #BeatportBanned.

— Why it says «Restricted for your territory»?
— Because Beatport like to come across as being politically correct. We have enough friends around the world who can double check as to whether or not a track has been restricted for all territories before we post it.

— Some tracks from your ‘banned list’ are available. Why is that?
— Usually Beatport will block a track for 2 weeks. After that the label can redeliver a track & it will be available again on different link. Thats why the old link still shows up as a banned track even though it is available again via a new link.

— Some labels claim to have taken a track down themselves (for various reasons).
— Could be true, but if you are a label & your track is rocking the Top10 chart would you really take it down? We don’t think so!!! Most of the tracks listed here have disappeared from high chart positions (even from the Beatport Main Top 10). Thats why we show the ‘Last chart position’ on our website.

— Why can’t I find a track from from various labels on your website? Everybody says they ‘buy in’ chart positions?
— If these labels are not on our list then their tracks were never banned. This means they are either in the ‘clear’ or Beatport just haven’t caught them (yet!). We only list tracks which have been blocked by Beatport.

— Do you have on making a commercial profit?
— Of course not! We just want people know the truth :-)

It is strange to see some tracks in there for massively well known producers.

I mean...Armin...really?

His tracks already get free promotion by being on the front page each time he produces something.. why would he risk the ban?

smh...

What I think with Armin's track is that mainly Blasterjaxx has been cheating to get it higher. ike you said, Armin doesn't need it. I was actually more surprised with the Dakota track :O

And we all know David Guetta is a cheat hehe
