Grooveshark Launches Beluga to Help Artists Understand their Listeners

Grooveshark, one of the best free streaming music sites on the web, has launched a new service called Beluga, which “allows anyone in the world to easily view extensive data about an artist and their fanbase.”  The service is meant to give artists the ability to better understand who, how and when people are playing their music.  It’s an impressive service that makes Grooveshark very attractive to artists, and is possibly a defensive move in case artists come down hard on the site for holding so many licensed tracks.
