Rhapsody’s Top 10 Indie Pop Artist Chart

By | The Y! Music Playlist Blog – Sat, Aug 1, 2009 4:25 AM EDT

I'm not much for the Billboard Hot 100 or Top 40 Charts. I tend to gravitate more to independent music and genres outside of the mainstream. But I'm still a sucker for a good pop song. This playlist is a top 10 list of current Indie pop songs as determine by the Rhapsody streaming music service. Rhapsody has its millions of songs spread across a ton of sub-genres. So it's a great way to dig into a musical style that may not be the most mainstream. For each of these sub-genres Rhapsody also has charts. Each genre chart lists the artists, songs and albums that are being listened to the most. So while Rhapsody's top 40 chart tends to mirror that of billboard pretty closely, if you dig down into your favorite sub-genre, you're bound to find a pretty decent playlist. This playlist includes the top songs by the current top artists according to the Rhapsody Indie Pop artist chart.
