Show HN: Top forty hottest songs everyday from Twitter

[sidjha]

Really nice work. While I know you guys are going for the top 40 songs, but it would be even more awesome if there was more selection - perhaps if I kept scrolling down, it would load even more songs ranked 41, 42 and so on.

One convenient addition could also be a big search box at the top that gives me access to "archives", so that I can still listen to the older songs even when they go out of the top 40 list.

I love the UI!

[namank]

Agreed - the UI is pretty amazing!

I especially like how the video plays in the header while rest of the page selection remains the same. This way, I can go back and play my #2 choice after my #1 choice has finished without having to look for it, I already know where the #2 choice is.

Youtube is horrible at this. If you don't make a playlist, you have to click back and hope it still recommends the same videos as the last time you were on that page.

Do you aggregate the number of times a song is shared/mentioned on Twitter each day?

[rezbull]

We are using Twitter's Streaming API and go through tweets as they come in. Then we figure out the song/artist information and then aggregate that at the end of each day.

[namank]

Nice! Now just publish it as an Android app and we are good to go.

[Multiplayer]

This is really neat. Potentially a huge time suck. Well done.

I like it as it doesn't give you too many things to do on the site (where I find the real distraction comes from) and just does things for me and looks good.

Great work

[thigbee]

Very cool. I'm listening to it right now. But how much variation is there from day to day? Like if I go back tomorrow, will the songs all be the same? In a week?

[rezbull]

That's a good point. So far most of the top songs just shuffle between each other. New songs start appearing towards the bottom of the list. Maybe a "random" feature could help with this?
