Youtube, the new radio?


Marketplace on NPR had a piece yesterday about youtube metrics becoming a main factor for determining hit songs, replacing the traditional role of radio.

Seems like a good thing to me. People should have more direct say now in what becomes a hit based on popularity, with radio stations and their corporate owners having less influence on these things by deciding up front what gets airplay or not.

What do y'all think?

the website is a pain to bother with and I have no desire to see the videos in most cases otherwise I like the idea of peoples views being counted
