What's happening on YouTube
YouTube.com/music is your ever-changing guide to music
Thursday, August 18, 2011
YouTube has videos across the entire spectrum of music, from current pop hits to classic tracks to obscure but wonderful sounds. But how do you find that next piece of musical gold? To help with this task we’re re-launching our
YouTube Music
page with a host of new features to help guide you on your audio-visual quest, and several guest curators to help out as well.
On
YouTube.com/music
you can now find:
recommended videos and artists based on the music videos you’re watching
local concert listings in your area paired with artist videos
the YouTube Top 100 - your invaluable source to the most popular music based on what the community is viewing
To help you get more into music on YouTube we’ve also partnered with music experts and tastemakers to provide you with daily playlists and picks. In the coming weeks you’ll be able to check out curations from
SPIN
,
Vice
,
XLR8R
and more. Some of YouTube’s music vloggers will also find a new home on the page, like the “Internet’s busiest music nerd,” Anthony Fantano of
The Needle Drop
.
Finally, you may have noticed the electric guitar adorning the YouTube logo today. It’s there today to celebrate the
Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Guide to Rock
, who have the first hand-picked playlist on the new music page. Over the next five days some of your favorite music stars will be sharing a personal guide to their genre, including
David Guetta’s Guide to Electronica
on Friday,
Lady Gaga’s Guide to Pop
on Saturday and
Eminem & Royce Da 5’9”’s Guide to Hiphop
on Monday. Look out for a new music-based YouTube logo each day, and clicking on it will bring you straight to the music page.
