WE ARE HUNTED

A relatively new site that is morally rivalling Hype Machine. The website was co-designed by my friend and art/animator extraordinaire, Timothy Lovett, We Are Hunted documents the most popular/hyped tracks around the world updated each hour.

With their research sources extending to all corners of the media stratosphere, such as Twitter, various blogs, Facebook, My Space, record label announcements, generic media etc. The most prevalent are unsurprisingly album leaks and artists in the media for the wrong reasons.

Hunted have taken the musical moral high ground over Hype Machine by only streaming songs or providing a youtube link, unlike it's counterpart, who have everyone believing it's perfectly legal/helping them sleep at night by providing links to blogs with "promotional tracks" to be downloaded.

It's not always appealing to everyone (P!nk and The All American Rejects have featured heavily), however it does provide an in-depth, honest list of the top 99 songs in the world.

Do yourself a favour and check it out.
