Music Daily’s “Tracks” Uses Innovative Technology to Create Weekly Charts

The Gen-Z and Millennial music website highlights chart toppers and newcomers alike

LOS ANGELES (September 13, 2021) – Music Daily, an all-new website aimed at Gen-Z and Millennial music fans, is taking a different approach to music charts. While the overall programming is based in part on trends from Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok, Music Daily’s Content team – and even its interns – then dive in to create specialized playlists based on chart data.

Featured in the “Tracks” section on their innovative platform, the Music Daily team uses their own algorithm to analyze charts from all streaming platforms to create three proprietary playlists each week: Top 30 Streamed Tracks, Music Daily Discoveries, and Trending Tracks.

The Top 30 Streamed Tracks is exactly what it sounds like: the top songs of the week utilizing all available data. Music Daily Discoveries looks past the major labels to find rising artists with a new and unique sound and that seem to come out of nowhere, while Trending Tracks are the songs that are quickly moving up the charts. Accompanying the charts each week is a video editorial segment – one of the site’s most engaging assets – called the “Tracks Report” which highlights the top artists across all three charts.

The Music Daily then takes the Discovery playlists a step further by giving appreciation to the underappreciated. Each week, the content team selects an artist to promote across all sections of the site. Chosen artists may get an artist profile in the “Word” section, new single coverage in the “Drops” section, showcased in a “Feature Artist” or interview video editorial treatment.

Music Daily is a groundbreaking, fully immersive fan-to-fan experience that offers visitors everything they need about the artists they love – and those they’re about to discover – at one exciting, multimedia destination. With its fan-driven philosophy and approach, Music Daily takes users “from the studio to the stage,” offering exclusive videos and interviews with artists as they’re creating and releasing new music, along with breaking news about tours, festivals, and livestreams. Music Daily is actively preparing to launch a subscription mobile app which will offer fans a custom discovery feature allowing them to dive even deeper into the kinds of music they’re most interested in.

founder & ceo

For more than three decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of music, media, technology, and brand partnerships.

I’ve helped build digital media businesses, created branded entertainment programs, produced livestream events, and worked with artists, labels, broadcasters, and global brands throughout the evolution of the music industry.

Signl, is a platform designed for the next generation of artist marketing.

Independent artists have audiences but often lack the infrastructure to organize fans, activate sponsors, measure campaigns, and build lasting direct relationships. Brands, meanwhile, struggle to efficiently work with dozens of emerging artists while maintaining consistent reporting and execution.

Signl bridges that gap.

“The Dark Side of the Moon cover intrigued me when I  bought it in April 1973.  I was 19 at the time and Pink Floyd was becoming a mainstream success with a growing fan base, myself included.  The mind-blowing music coupled with lyrics exploring themes of alienation, loss, and materialism struck a personal note which echoes within me to this day.”   MA
