As music is increasingly experienced on the internet, whether it be downloaded or streamed, audio or video, a way to track and compile an artist’s presence and popularity both on and off the web has never been fully realized… until now. Big Champagne has developed what they have dubbed “The Ultimate Chart,” a list of the top 100 songs (and 100 artists) based on data from not only iTunes and Amazon, but MySpace, YouTube, Yahoo!, AOL, Facebook, and Twitter, just to name a few. CEO Eric Garland explained, "The Ultimate Chart examines music sales and radio airplay and the access to music, and socializing around music, that are growing much faster. We're rewriting the top of the charts for the new music business and enlisting the help of its chief architects to surface the most popular music that the charts have overlooked." It is our pleasure to bring you The Ultimate Chart’s Top Ten songs of the week in every new edition of “Tech Trends.”
1. Eminem Ft. Rihanna - "Love The Way You Lie"

3. Katy Perry - "California Girls"
