The top 2-0 in music 2.0 (update)

05Jun07

In mid-April, I posted several comparative charts ranking the top music 2.0 websites. I updated my list last night to see how things have progressed. A few findings:

Project Playlist and imeem continue to dominate by a LOT. PP has 6.2m uniques, now >10X the size of my former employer, Live365
imeem, Warner suit notwithstanding, is at nearly 5m and growing more quickly than PP (27% month-on-month vs 14%)
Last.fm, purchased last week for $280m, is 28% the size of imeem (although I don’t think one could value imeem at a cool $1bn, given its legal situation and what will likely be needed to remedy it)
OTOH, Last.fm and Pandora are growing relatively more slowly (5-6%) than these newer players
I added a few companies I’d overlooked last time, including Dizzler, which looks similar to Project Playlist and is currently 8th, just behind iLike
Perhaps the most impressive gainer is finetune, which grew by 133% in April

As before, please let me know if there are others in same range that I should be including.

Here’s the rankings, charted:
