FameCast’s Buzz Factor rating is a measure of the “buzz” surrounding your music online. Our search engine scans the Web 24/7 to see how much your work is being viewed, shared, linked to and mentioned worldwide. It works the same way Google and Yahoo scan the Web for mentions of companies and keywords, pushing those with the most traffic and links to the top of search results.

Artists’ Buzz Factors range from 1-100 and are continuously and automatically updated by our database.

Why Does Buzz Matter?
Your advancement in FameCast’s monthly contests is determined by both fan voting and your Buzz Factor rating. Bookers for Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival and other opportunities look to the Buzz Factor as a symbol of artist’s popularity and marketability.
