One Year of Data
One year ago Next Big Sound started indexing social music data. At the time it was a small quantity — 2,000 artist profiles across three networks.
We publicly launched two months later with a focus on rapidly increasing the numbers of bands and networks in the system. Today we’re proud to say we’ve grown to 712,000 artist profiles across 16 networks and have collected well over 1 billion points of data.
We continue adding more bands, profiles and data every single day and as the majority of music-related activity continues to migrate online we intend to capture it all…
That is awesome! You should all be very proud of yourselves. What do the next 3 years hold for you?
Thanks! We believe in the power of data to transform the music business and will be working on building the team and technology to get there.
Congrats– you guys have come a long way in a year. Especially couch dude.
