Any way to find out what promotion hapend to my app?

Hi, I was wondering, is there a way to find out if and how my app was promoted on Amazon App Store a few days ago? Like was it in the "new free games" list or "new for you" or somewhere else? I had some great download numbers in the USA on Amazon App Store for my app, started last Friday 18th, got 1584 downloads that day, going down since but still fantastic numbers to me :o) Anyway, I didn't notice the downloads until later in the weekend but looked around the Amazon App, googled the internet, checked facebook, checked twitter, checked AppAnnie, but couldn't find a thing! App: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?asin=B00ER3DAEO It's not the end of the world if I don't find out, just very curious and it would help with learning about this marketing & promotion lark!

Thanks for the info, but to be honest I'm still a little lost. Is this info available for me to find and see myself? Also, I have the Amazon App Store app on my phone (I don't own a Kindle Fire yet.... soon though). I can't find in the app where "popular apps for android" or "popular games for android" or "popular apps and games for kindle fire" are. From the main screen I see the menu with "Best Sellers", "Games", "New Releases", "All Categories" along the top and categories like "Noteworthy apps" going down. Thanks for the marketing request link too, very useful and great of Amazon to have things like this for devs!
