The White List
Algorithmic tracking for trending music
Posted Monday, March 30, 2015
The White List finds the creators, the artists and the entrepreneurs, who are shaping the world of music and technology. We started out tracking the world’s most influential investors on Twitter, AngelList, and LinkedIn. The startups that received the most attention from these investors made it onto the White List. Since then, many of the startups that made the list have been hugely successful and gone on to raise millions of dollars in funding. We now use the same methods to identify the world’s hottest emerging musical talent. We track the biggest names in music: the artists, producers, managers, A&Rs, DJs, and bloggers across a variety of sources including Soundcloud, Twitter, and Youtube to find out what the influencers are listening to. Only the artists that get the most attention from these industry influencers make it onto the White List. We update the list every day, and we’ll leave it up to you decide what you think.
