Last.fm launches best of 2010 stats
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 December 2010
Last.fm has launched its annual rundown of the 40 most popular somethings. We’re not sure if its artists or albums or what, but to count an artist must have released something resembling a new studio album between October 2009 and October 2010.
We’re not sure if it’s then how many times that album got played in full by digital music fans locked into the Last.fm tracking system that counts, or whether every play of any track off the new album is considered, or maybe even any play of any track by that artist ever made. But it’s something – that we can confirm.
The first twenty artists have already been announced, with the rest of the Top 40 due to announced in two sets later this month.
