We Are Hunted


Having spent the past year working within an online marketing team, I've learnt the importance of tagging, tracking and all the kinds of methods used to find out about user's activities, information and web usage. Basically I've learnt how to be nosey through the internet.

We Are Hunted is a site that uses all of these methods to track the online 99 most popular music tracks of the day by measuring popularity on blogs, forums, Spotify and other social media. Different to that of other online music charts this doesn't include music downloads, but focuses on the more sporatic side of music popularity, through forms of social media that can effect the charts by even the smallest keyword.

It's an online marketer's music heaven. The only thing I would change would be to make the interface a bit more user friendly. Although it initially looks slick and well designed, these factors actually made it quite hard for me to navigate around and actually find the top 99 tracks past number 9.
