The New Music Seminar, which BestNewBands.com will be attending next week, announced their list of the Top 100 Artists on the Verge this week, and there are a lot of familiar names on it. Here's some of how NMS chooses bands for the list:
The NMS Artist on the Verge Top 100 is compiled based on analytics both online and traditional. Factors considered include: music sales (physical and digital) ticket sales, frequency of gigs, touring history, merchandise sales, media (both online and print), social media activity, online buzz and other factors as determined by the NMS Music Committee.
You can click HERE to see the whole list, and you can keep reading to see highlights from the BestNewBands.com archives on listed artists we've also picked as the "best new" bands and artists.
