SINCE the social network has taken up the center stage in every aspect of our life, the indicator of the popularity in the entertainment business has been shifted. Especially in the music scene, the record sales or the frequent exposure to the major media yields their limelight to the new medium, the social network and youtube. The number of followers of the social network and the subscribers of youtube can be the reliable proof for the popularity of the pop artists? How can these numbers be related with the commercial success of the song? This platform started from these questions.
