Please vote for us on YouBloom.com

We need your vote this week for “Breath of the Victory March” on YouBloom.com. This is brand new site, and songs advance to the finals strictly on the number of votes a song gets – it isn’t judging like on OurStage.

Here’s what to do – it won’t take long at all! Go to YouBloom.com, and create an account. Then click on the “Listen to Music & Vote” button. The easiest way to find our song to vote for is to use the search box and enter “ivorydrive” (note – no space!). You should see “Breath of the Victory March”. Just click on the “Vote” button, and that’s it.

At least for this week. There are several “heats”, an we will have a different song in each heat, including “Chance for the World” next week.

Hey, thanks! We appreciate your support.

Five “Auddys” on uplaya.com!

IvoryDrive — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:31:38 +0000

We were awarded 4 Platinum and 1 Gold “Auddy” rankings on uplaya.com!

So what’s an Auddy™? Don’t know if you have heard about uplaya.com, or not, but they have a computer algorithm that compares songs to a huge database of songs, and rates them for their hit potential based on how other songs have performed historically. A Platinum rating is their best, which they say means “ The underlying patterns of this song are similar to songs that have been hits for a long time.” Ivory Drive got 4 of those, plus a gold, which is just a bit lower.

Apparently, uPLAYA is getting a lot of media attention for their system – it was featured on NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly” last night, and has been written about in several major magazines. They claim they have some record industry buy-in to using their ratings.

If all that is really true, then we hope our great ratings will get a little attention! So here’s crossing our fingers!

Best of 20 on OurStage.com

IvoryDrive — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:12:07 +0000

Well, we did not make it to the semi-finals on OurStage. But, there’s a new award anyway – “Best of 20″. OurStage has a relatively new chart called “Best Of” which charts the best Pop, Rock, Urban, and Country bands of the week. Ivory Drive has been on the Best of Rock chart every week since it started 12 weeks ago. We’ve been in the top 20 for 8 weeks. This week, we’re #15, and we’ve been as high as #4! So we are proud to be a “Best of 20″ band on OurStage.com!

Ivory Drive on OurStage.com

IvoryDrive — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:20:39 +0000

Ivory Drive continues to be a fan favorite at OurStage.com. After getting four different songs voted to the top 10 in their genre (including two #1′s), we once again find a song ranked high for the month. Carry the One is currently in the top 20 in Alternative Rock just 5 days before the Quarter Finals start. We really can’t believe how well we are doing on that site.

OurStage.com is affiliated with AOL, and is a high traffic music destination. So we hope this trend continues!
