"Global music brand MTV is turning to the global throng of internet users to establish a new socially-powered music-video chart.\r\n\r\nThe\u00A0Your MTV Top 20 chart will be compiled based on fan interactions with the week\u2019s most popular global music videos from across MTV\u2019s own properties, including websites, social platforms and apps, while also tapping data from The Echo Nest. For the uninitiated, The Echo Nest is a \u2018music intelligence\u2019 company that offers products to help developers and media firms integrate rich music data across their products, and was snapped up by Spotify back in March.\r\n\r\nMore specifically, MTV will tap The Echo Nest\u2019s 'artist and song hotness' data to track popularity and trending metrics.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEach week, MTV will create a shortlist of the most played videos from more than 60 MTV-branded networks from around the world. Each time a fan views these videos on the chart site or via third-party platforms, and 'Likes', 'Shares' or 'Tweets' them, this will automatically influence the position of each track within the shortlist. The chart updates in near real-time (every five minutes) until it's published at 12pm (ET) each Monday.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0 Your MTV Top 20"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
