Jango makes a strong march up the music charts
Thought I’d post an update on Jango and the social music front. The May Comscore data ranking the top 520 music sites in the US reveals some interesting things:
- Jango is now at spot 32, up 10 slots from the March ‘08 version of this report
- we moved ahead of MP3.com, ilike.com, Audible.com, RollingStone.com, eMusic, Zune.net, and Disney Music
- we will soon pass Billboard.com and Spiralfrog in monthly uniques
- we are more than half the size of Last.fm in the US (bought last year by CBS for $280 million)
- we are #9 of all 520 sites in terms of average minutes per visit (an important measure of user satisfaction), beating AOL Music, Yahoo Music, Pandora, playlist.com, last.fm
And we got here only 7 months after public launch; Last.fm, by comparison, has been around since 2002.
I am estimating our July numbers to be much higher than May and June.
Here’s an excerpt of the Comscore chart, in order of US monthly uniques (in 000s):
