#Blog6Music - we reveal the Most Blogged Artists in the World of 2014 so far

This Sunday’s Now Playing (20 July) we’re celebrating some of the best new music over the last six months - with your help, of course.

And it’s a show of two halves: in the first hour we exclusively countdown The World’s Most Blogged Artists of the Year so far - thanks to our friends Hype Machine. And then in the second hour we hand the reigns over to you to suggest which artists you reckon should have made the list.

Hype Machine is a website which indexes over 800 of the world’s most influential music blogs and tracks their coverage of difference artists. Last year we exclusively revealed on Now Playing that it was a little-known duo called Disclosure who was the Most Blogged About Artist of the first half of 2013, and look at them now. But who will take their crown this time around? All will be revealed between 6-8pm this Sunday.

To give you an idea of the importance and global reach of music blogging, listen to Ed from Future Classic.

The second hour is down to YOU. Who do you think should have made the Top 20? To warm you up, check out who some of our favourite bloggers have picked as the Ones To Watch for 2014 are so far - or why not see who made the Top 50 most blogged artists this time last year.

And once you’ve been inspired by all things new music, get your suggestions to us under here on the blog, via the 6 Music and Now Playing Facebook pages, tweet using #Blog6Music, or drag tracks onto our collaborative Spotify and Rdio playlists.
