Find The Latest Music & Artists Before They Go Mainstream

For some folks, the competition of finding and hearing new artists before the masses is still entertainment. That’s the logic behind The Sixty-One, a social music web site allowing undiscovered artists to upload their songs for people to hear. After creating a free profile on the site, users then listen to music and give it a vote if they like it. Songs with the most votes hit the front page, which consists of other popular tracks. As a user, you start out with 99 points that are subtracted or added depending how the site is used. “Bumping a new artist costs 33 points, but listening to new artists also gains you points. If any of the artists vote for gain in popularity you get points for that too!
