Cheryl Cole and Lady Gaga reign supreme in we7’s 2009 chart
UK streaming music service we7 has revealed its most popular songs and artists of 2009, with Cheryl Cole’s Fight For This Love topping the former chart, and Lady Gaga heading the latter.
In fact, the most-played songs chart is dominated by urban and pop music, with no indie or rock artists making the top ten. An interesting trend that’s reflected in the top ten artists chart too. Both lists are published at the bottom of this post.
“The core of our user base loves to hear music they already know from the official chart and radio playlists, and the most played songs and artists of 2009 reflect this,” says senior VP of digital music Clive Gardiner. “At the same time, many we7 users want music that’s not so mainstream, and they play hundreds of thousands of other songs each week from indie, new and even unsigned artists, many following promotions and recommendations by we7’s music team.”
we7 says it’s now attracting 1.5 million users a month to its website, with around the same number playing music via its widgets on other sites. Gardiner also says that we7 is providing its data to the UK’s Official Chart Company, which could spark a new chart in 2010.
“we7 hopes this data will lead to an official ad-funded streaming chart in 2010,” he says. “With so many people now listening to music this way, it’s important to get our verified information out there.”
