Thanks for your feedback. Hot songs is nothing but a bunch of songs other users have favorited and played the most in the last 3 days. So what you are getting is indeed a curated collection, not necessarily from a genre but across alternative, electronica etc. If you are interested in a particular genre you can use the radio or explore section. You can also signup and follow people to see what they've favorited, commented on etc. I hope this helps.

Thanks again for trying out.
