Bands we out-rank on Alexa

This site has been live for around 6 months. I wanted to give our users an idea of how far we’ve come since that beautiful day in June when out popped 7lb, 5oz thatwasthenmusic.com. To do this, I’ll use Alexa, the Internet’s popularity ranking system.

I’ve started to compile a running list of bands we’ve successfully dominated with our Spartan-like online army of fans. As of 12/14/09, our Alexa rank is 167,806 (it’s at the bottom of the page). To put this into perspective, Google is 1, Facebook – 2, Yahoo – 3… you get the picture.

Dominated:

Hootie and the Blowfish – 1,494,389

Sublime – 950,120*

Jeff Buckley – 824,499

Blue Oyster Cult – 877,418

Cheap Trick – 406,251

The Sex Pistols – 390,945 (beware, annoying video auto-plays)

Queens of the Stone Age – 320,125

Recently spanked:

Frank Zappa – 301,472

Alice Cooper – 263,008

Soundgarden – 235,138*

David Bowie – 231,589

Eric Clapton – 226,581

Currently pwning:

Aerosmith – 184,470

REM – 183,543

Guns N’ Roses – 169,236

I will try and update this every few months. If you spot any other good ones post them below!

Oh, and one more thing. (I won’t disgrace this page with a link to it)

RIAA – http://www.riaa.com/ – 142,463 You’re next, cockroaches.
