...improving your average rank is the ONLY point of this game. Theres no reason to play it if you dont play all of the songs lol

On the topic though, it has been discussed many times and majority of people say it shouldnt count for many reasons. For one it distorts the music and completely loses the whole point of the game, which is listening to the music. Secondly, it makes whoring the game that much easier. Theres probably other reasons that i cant think of ATM but you get the point.
