This is Mumford & Sons “Little Lion Man”, it’s a great song and if you’re in NYC 10/22 you can check them out at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. However, what I want to talk about is their No.1 most popular song on Hype Machine today. How did this happen? and what will the impact be?
Let’s start with me. I happened across these dudes in late September on the advice of Tsururadio, who blogged about them based on the fact that they came up in his random shuffle. This random happenstance makes sense as the album started leaking way back in 2008, but at the time nothing caught. That’s all changed and with 1191 loved votes you can expect this song to continue to sit near the top. Not for nothing, I blogged about these guys on my personal blog about a week ago.
My guess is that this concert will sell out by the end of the week. Now what I want to get into is how does Mumford & Sons value the fans that are making this happen. Bandwith is working on that problem, and we probably ought to look closer at Hypem data. In the meantime here’s another great track by this band.
