Since the face of the music industry is rapidly changing, Playlist Research is now focused on helping webcasters and traditional media find the best online music possible. Songs are listed under the month they were discovered by Playlist Research and are not necessarily new releases. Songs are not ranked, although top songs are the ones Playlist Research believes have the best chance for widespread popularity. The main criterion for selection is that the song must sound more artistic than anything on mainstream radio in 2009.
