We Are Hunted - A New Way to Measure Music Popularity

Music executives have always been dependent on and obsessed over charts, whether it be the Billboard Top 100, No. 1 singles or radio format charts. Appropriately, a new website has emerged, We Are Hunted that publishes the most popular 99 artists and 99 songs by day, week and month based on online activity - music blogs, Twitter, forums, Torrents, P2P networks and social networks. It has a cool interface and when you click on an artist or song there is a page that displays a feed of articles and a NOISE marker that keeps track of the number of posts. You can also play the top 99 songs directly from the site.
