Instagram has realized the popularity of musicians on its platform and decided to launch their own dedicated account, @Music.
This is the first time that the Facebook owned app has opened a channel for a particular vertical and it comes as no surprise as almost one-quarter of the most popular accounts on Instagram today belong to popular and upcoming musicians.
Instagram Music Editor Alex Suskind will be heading the new community and will cover a range of topics related to music like live performances, studio sessions, breaking news and more. There will be just six posts per week on this account, grouped into series of hashtags.
“We think spotlighting the most talented and creative members of the music community on Instagram is a very strategic long-term” said a spokesperson from Instagram to Techcruch.
