But these two platforms are a decent proxy for the overall health of music crowdfunding and, given these top campaigns from 2013, crowdfunding seems to be doing well. Amanda Palmer's 2012 campaign that resulted in over a million dollars in pledges remains the high point but numerous campaigns raised hundreds of thousands for their projects and helped further a history of success that is undeniable. It would be nice to have PledgeMusic and RocketHub data as well but the following campaigns paint a nice picture of the high end of music crowdfunding. One of the important aspects of crowdfunding is it's relevance at multiple levels so assessing its health would require looking at a full range of campaigns. But the following definitely strike a positive note. The top campaign of the year was that of Carman Licciardello who received $538,103 in pledges towards his $200,000 goal. **Top 10 [Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/advanced?category%5Fid=14&sort=most%5Ffunded&ref=hypebot.com) & [Indiegogo](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects?filter%5Fcategory=Music&filter%5Fcountry=CTRY%5FUS&filter%5Fquick=most%5Ffunded&ref=hypebot.com) Music Crowdfunding Campaigns** **1.** [New Carman Album and Music Video](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/886460906/new-carman-album-and-music-video?ref=hypebot.com) Carman Licciardello – $538,103 pledged towards $200,000 goal **2.** [Protest the Hero NEW ALBUM](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/protest-the-hero-new-album--3?ref=hypebot.com) Protest the Hero – $341,146 pledged towards $125,000 goal **3.** [Make ENDLESS FANTASY more than an album!](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamhax/anamanaguchi-make-endless-fantasy-more-than-album?ref=hypebot.com) Anamanaguchi – $277,399 pledged towards $50,000 goal **4.** [New Studio Album from Toad the Wet Sprocket!](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/toadthewetsprocket/new-studio-album-from-toad-the-wet-sprocket?ref=hypebot.com) Toad the Wet Sprocket – $264,762 pledged towards $50,000 goal **5.** [PIXIES: A Visual History (Exclusive Ltd.
