With a slight format change, we are re-launching our Top 10 Electronic Music – Movers & Shakers list. Anticipating objections, here is a disclaimer right upfront: This is not a “The Most Popular” list. This is not an “Our Top 10 Favorite Electronic Music Artists” list either. What we are doing here is pouring over last.fm data and identifying the fastest moving electronic music artists of the week in terms of listener popularity. Some artists are household names, some are up and coming. To be fare, we grouped all of the artists in our database into 5 “weight classes” and picked the top 2 from each class to build this Top 10 Electronic Music – Movers & Shakers list. Enjoy!
Uh, and don’t forget to jot down the names of the lighter weights. Those are the champs of tomorrow.
