For my Digital Arts Time Based class we were assigned to create a blog on a subject of our choosing and maintain and actively update the blog throughout the course of the project. For my blog I have chosen to discuss current trends in music. The purpose of the blog is it display the current trends in popular music from week to week. I will look at what are the most popular songs of the week, calling on billboard.com for assistance, and then go on to analyze these songs. This will be done through images and pictures, explorations of emotions evoked by the particular track, discussion of the performing artist(s), and external links providing further information on the song, artist and musical news. Through this, I hopefully be able to examine the current trends of music in America and understand which genre of music is most popular in our current day of age.
Below is the link to billboard.com where you find the weekly updated musical charts that will serve as the source of my song selections. On this website, you can find charts displaying the top 100 songs in the country, the top selling albums, and even rank listings by genre of music.
