Twitter and Billboard have teamed up to make real-time music charts based on the musings of the social platform's 240 million users.
Whether pop behemoths Katy Perry or Pharrell Williams are more popular on Twitter could prove to be interesting, but there's obviously a chance that the findings will mirror Billboard's regular charts. A potentially more intriguing nugget in the companies' announcement: There will be rankings based on chatter around new and upcoming music. So Billboard and Twitter stand a chance to break into indie site Pitchfork's realm by offering a more interactive buzz source, as viewers can get early notice on quality obscure artists and/or acts that are about to make a name for themselves.
