The points earned in Round Six are added up for this sixth release of the Steemit Music League leaderboard for Season Two.
We have had one hundred twelve (112) different Steemians apart of the Steemit Music League in the six rounds so far. We thank you all for making such an amazing impact on the community.
Below are the updated standings of the Steemit Music League Season #2 as of today
@onemedia is moving this round jumping from 5th place to 2nd place trailing the leader @paradigmpropsect by less than a hundred points.
He can't be too comfortable because @mindseye-music and @d-vine continue their rivalry and are only 5 and 12 points behind 2nd place respectively.
With two 2nd places under his belt this past round @nathankaye jumped all the way to 7th place right behind the moving @spawnband who is holding onto 6th place.
Then we have a group Steemians behind them like @inthenow, @ivan.atman, and @novili moving up the ranks with their performances this last round.
As you can see we have a lot of Steemians participating in more than one contest increasing their League point total.
