Australia’s Top 25 Music Blogs (Now With Hitwise Data).

Be like Mike.

I’ve previously posted this list of Australia’s top 25 music blogs

1. Electrorash
2. Mass Hyperbole
3. Who The Hell?
4. A Reminder
5. Silence Is A Rhythm Too
6. Waves At Night
7. Cyclic Defrost
8. Twelve Major Chords
9. Off The Record
10. It All Started…
11. Hooverdust
12. Oceans Never Listen
13. Whiteboydancefloor
14. Rose Quartz
15. Wireless Bollinger
16. Lexicon Devil
17. Before Hollywod
18. Reel Around The Fountain
19. Decomposing Trees
20. Open Your Eyes
21. Flop Eared Mule
22. Scatterblog
23. Joe.Blog
24. He Is Faux Pas
25. Twenty Songs

To calculate the list, I used the Adage methodology, also used successfully by Julian at Adspace Pioneers.

I thought I’d have a look at the list from another perspective - using Hitwise data.

For interest’s sake, I threw in Mess and Noise and Polaroids of Androids, since they caused the most consternation when I included them in my Top 25 list.

The result?

Mess + Noise is killing it.

Using Hitwise data we compiled a Custom Category of my Top 25 Australian Music Blogs.  Rankings are based on market share of visits by Australian Internet users, for July 2009 according to Hitwise.  (Click on the image to enlarge).

Using the same Hitwise data we added all those Australian music blogs to Hitwise’s Custom Music Blog Category.  Again, rankings are based on market share of visits by Australian Internet users, for July 2009 according to Hitwise.  (Click on the image to enlarge).

Mess and Noise still dominate.

The challenge is for another Australian music blog to start closing the gap on Mess + Noise.
