So if most people don't play the new songs, why should they be ranked higher than someone who does? I highly doubt there's even 100 active players above me. Plus, half of them could be alt accounts.
Skill should not be determined by 15 scores that you have gotten. Skill should be determined by active scores. Someone who gets 15 top scores like Myuka, then leaves the site forever shouldn't be ranked number 1 if others play consistently. It's basically like saying someone who was once good at something stays that way forever.
