Next Big Sound, a leading provider of online music analytics and insights, is excited to announce the launch of its Premier platform that will change the way the music industry interacts with analytics and data. As part of this release, Next Big Sound is also launching their predictive charts and announcing several major partnership deals and milestones.

Since launching in August of 2009 Next Big Sound has quickly made waves in the music industry. In the past year:

10,000 people have created Next Big Sound accounts, 40% of them are signed up for free weekly email reports;
Over 4,000 artists have verified accounts giving them early looks at new features, and control over their profile URLs;
Hundreds of thousands of artists and millions of profiles are now tracked in real time across all the major social music sites;
Raised a round of financing from the same investors that backed and/or started Garageband.com, SongKick, Topspin, FanBridge, Compete.com, IntelliQuest, and TechStars;
Named by Billboard as one of the 10 best digital startups and CEO, Alex White, named to Billboard’s 30 under 30 list of power players in the music industry.

Premier Unveiled

Described as a Bloomberg terminal for the entertainment industry or just plain amazing – Next Big Sound Premier has been developed and tested since the beginning of 2010 and is now ready for general release. For the first time ever professionals in the music industry can see social media data, traffic to an artists .com (Google Analytics integration), iTunes/sales data, radio numbers and P2P data all in one place. Combined with actionable recommendations and advanced geographic data the platform is presented in a way that decision makers in the industry can understand how best to use their resources.

Paying customers already include labels like the iconic Domino Records, Provident Label Group, television’s CMT, management firms like 4 Ohm, artist marketing companies like Sideways Media, Lotos Nile and many more.

The same product that is currently being piloted at every major label is now available to anyone.

“Anyone I’ve talked to who has seen Next Big Sound’s new Premier product has said it’s the most exciting new music industry app of the year.” -Ian Rogers, Topspin CEO
