#Nowplaying Music Trends on Twitter

post by KM

Want to know the latest music trends? Twitter can help. More frequently, music fans are using Twitter as a channel to discuss the musicians they love.

With over 250 million tweets per day, the social network has become a breeding ground for the latest music trends.

And although music on Twitter may still be in its infancy (as far as inline song playing is concerned), the platform undoubtedly offers a "bird's eye view" of what music enthusiasts are listening to. The network has an inherent ability to fuse music and technology in a very simple and social way. If you've ever seen the #nowplaying hashtag, then you understand what I mean.

But with hundreds of millions of tweets every single day, how do you sort through the noise and uncover which #nowplaying musicians are trending? Good question. You don't. TwitterMusicTrends.com does.

In a straightforward, Matrix-type feel, TwitterMusicTrends tracks the most-discussed musicians on Twitter and then dynamically updates this information into 3 simple sections. The "Today" section of the site provides an analysis of who is being discussed the most on that particular day. The "Trending" section examines which musicians are increasing in popularity on Twitter. And finally, the "Latest" section displays the most-recently tweeted musicians.

Everyone from music fans; to magazine editors; to music industry professionals; to the local indie band down the street; they all can benefit from this collection of music trends. In fact, the potential uses for this data is staggering.

So the next time you want to know what the latest music trends are, be sure to check out TwitterMusicTrends.com and start following some like-minded music fans. Cheers.
