For the most part they have a pretty good system. There are definitely artists that shoot to the top of the list every time they upload something new which causes a lot of artists to be overlooked. That said, the community itself tries to make up for it by finding those underloved of songs and making them visible.
It also seems like the current system is showing some strain with a growing userbase. Things that worked a year ago don't seem to function so well anymore. Specifically, there aren't enough hearts given per day to spend on the growing number of songs uploaded. And since a song's visibility is directly tied to the number of hearts it receives, a lot of good songs go unnoticed because nobody enough hearts to go around.
Nits aside, I still love the site. It's done more for me as an artist than anything else I've done so far.

What you've just described is a hearts recession. Paul Krugman will tell you that the obvious solution is to increase the liquidity of the hearts market. :)
