Twitter #Music’s main feature is a popularity chart, so it’s fitting that the app itself is also charting well, so far anyway. Only Twitter’s own video sharing app, Vine, and a few of the perennially-mega-popular iOS games rank higher — indicating that Twitter #Music really will make a dent in the app market, and validating the category of apps that are designed from the ground up for discovering music, as opposed to just listening to it.
Twitter #Music is also available for the web, in addition to iOS. Twitter says there’s no Android version “yet,” indicating that one is in the works.
