Big Champagne have unveiled a social music chart which could be a great accompaniment to the traditional sales charts we currently gauge artist's success by. Known as the 'Ultimate Chart', it takes into account fans, friends and followers who may be watching a band's videos online and such like, to come up with an all encompassing method of ranking an artist's popularity. It is certainly an interesting idea. Take a look at the link below to find out more info about the workings of this new chart, and some graphs showing how certain tracks compare when weighed up by the traditional and ultimate charts.
