After **Famecount** published a chart of the [top music artists on social networks](http://www.famecount.com/all-platforms/Worldwide/Musician?ref=hypebot.com), based on their **friend** and **follower counts** on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, **Stuart Dredge** over at **[Sandbox](http://www.sandbox.fm/2010/07/02/how-are-the-biggest-artists-using-social-media/?ref=hypebot.com)**followed-up and tried to understand what could be learned from what
