Twitter launches new charts for #music service
Twitter has introduced a series of new charts to reflect current trends as part of its #music service roll out for the web.
These are broken down by genre and include a number of custom categories such as ‘superstars’ and ‘unearthed’ to document the rise and fall of specific artists.
Uniquely these are constructed from a blend of all the data streams which Twitter commands, be that from tweets or embedded links to popular and emerging artists.
Arranged via a sequence of interactive tiles, the new look charts are designed to make finding new artists and songs a breeze.
It is hoped that the service will encourage artists to engage more directly with their followers to boost their presence in addition to drawing the eye of record labels.
