Pandora Introduces Charts

This week Pandora finally made their streaming charts available to the public, unveiling a new set of weekly charts that include the 'Top 100 Most-Played Tracks' and '20 Trend Setting Artists'. Big Sound is sourcing the charts, which will be kept fresh by phasing out tracks after 16 weeks unless they are still climbing the charts. Pandora is also using social media to measure artist momentum and predict future success.
