Music file sharing in October – what’s happened so far and what are the latest trends? Which artist landed the top spot in the music file sharing charts and who else was able to crawl up a few more ranks? What’s noteworthy is the fact that Luis Fonsi, who showed great popularity at spots 5 and 6 from June until August, started to fall in the ranks in September and October’s music file sharing charts. With the summer over and fall kicking in, demand for Luis Fonsi’s summer hit "Despacito" seems to have fallen like the leaves outside. Now he holds spot 11 – quite a decrease in popularity for someone who was on fire just a few months ago. Furthermore, the top 50 reveal a number of artists who are on their way up, showing increasing music file sharing numbers. Chris Brown, Eminem, Marilyn Manson, Gucci Mane and Demi Lovato, for example, were among that handful of October music file sharing stars. Read full article here: https://goo.gl/esUfqX
