Twitter Music Chart uses your influence and sharing of links to songs (shared only via The Hype Machine) to show what is hot in music.
How does it work?
We monitor Twitter for links pointing to tracks on the Hype Machine. We then give each of those tweets a number of points based on the number of followers (and the ratio of friends & followers) that person has. Finally, we add up all the points and figure out which tracks are tweeted by either the most influential twitter users, or by the largest group. Simple.
So based on how you rank in Twitter, you can help move a song up the rankings faster. You can play a sing, add it to your favorites (on their site, not Twitter) and see the current rankings.
