Jango Airplay Top 10

Here's this weeks Top 10 Artists according to their PopScore for the week of November 29 - December 5. And here's a quick reminder of how PopScore works. You need at least 100 Plays on at least one song for the one week. That means that someone who is brand new to Jango can make it into the top 10 as it's not a measure of accumulated fans over time but interactions, both positive and negative for the one week in which you receive a PopScore.

Congrats to all 1000 bands that received some bonus airplay credits this week as well.
