Review Queue - Is There Priority Patterns?

Ive been waiting for tracks to be reviewed for about 12 days. nothing wrong about that but. Ive been observing the profile of some fellow artists and also the code of some recently approved and indexed tracks. The first track i uploaded in the current waiting batch is coded 8577 and the last is about 8626... and there are batch of tracks that are online which are coded 8620....
which brings me to two conclusions:
1. do some artists have priority over others in the review queue (based on sales, number of tracks or something else)? or...
2. did the review team accidentally skip my tracks in the queue?
or maybe my reasoning is failed and somebody can clarify this whole situation better?

I suspect it's simply that they have so many submissions, and maybe only a few people working on submissions at certain times. I have delays like that every once and a while, and then sometimes where it's the next few days after submitting.
I honestly am surprised sometimes when it's so quick. It actually seems like it makes more sense to be 12 days or so.
I doubt they skipped or missed you, but never hurts to ask I suppose.

I've been queued for a similar amount of time, and I have a track coded at 8599 (so in between all of yours). I think they're just backed up right now. I'm not going to lie, though, it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who's been waiting :)

I've been waiting two weeks and I'm a bit frustrated!

Hmm, I saw this a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still waiting for mine.

I've just hit 19 days in review limbo on a collection of a few tracks. I went on a support chat window and the guy who helped me confirmed that they've had a surge in submissions.

yep. 20 days here.

Strange.. Sent two clips for review today. 6H later they are up. My large batch of same type of clips still unreviewed and its been a week. Mayby smaller batches gets done quckier ? Like mayby the reviewer only has time to review for an hour so they choose a small batch. Pure speculation thought.
