Quick Pitch: We Are Hunted is the music chart for the digital generation. It listens to online discussion, sentiment and sharing to chart the 99 most popular songs online each day.
Genius Idea: We're mad about using the Web for finding new music, and even though we love these five sites for music recommendations, we're also intrigued by We Are Hunted's approach to scouring the Web to publish the top 99 songs every day.
Here's how it works: We Are Hunted aggregates music based on semantic elements like positive sentiment, expression, and advocacy across social networks, forums, music blogs, torrents, P2P networks, and — yes of course — Twitter. The end result is 99 songs that the social web has proclaimed worthy of listening to.
On top of listening to tracks, you can buy the songs you love, as well as filter the top 99 online music chart by today, week, month, or year. And if you choose, you can switch things up and view the top 99 artists using those same filters.
Oh, and if you're expecting the list to be a who's who of the top 40 chart, think again. Most of the tracks popular today are anything but the radio hits we've come to expect. Sure, you'll chance upon Britney Spears and Kayne West in the top artist category, but We Are Hunted serves up plenty of other really unique artists and songs to keep you entertained.
