Much excitement in various blogs and newspapers about the fact that Music Week is going to publish a new music chart based on Last.fm user's aggregated listening behaviours - the wisdom of crowds! Previously, of course, music charts only focused on ummm people's aggregated buying behaviours - the wisdom of crowds!
I know it's not the same, and I utterly welcome it - not that I've bought a "record" since Bacharach and David fell out.
But the fundamental difference isn't that it's user generated - it's that it's based on - presumably - the limitless music store.
We will ignore the US propensity for basing charts on radio airplay. What's that all about?
Journalism’s return to community is necessary – but risky
-
“Community” and ”Audience” are not synonyms. If you want to turn the latter
into the former, there are some key skills you need.
