Agreed - the UI is pretty amazing!
I especially like how the video plays in the header while rest of the page selection remains the same. This way, I can go back and play my #2 choice after my #1 choice has finished without having to look for it, I already know where the #2 choice is.
Youtube is horrible at this. If you don't make a playlist, you have to click back and hope it still recommends the same videos as the last time you were on that page.

Can you add an option for scrolling through songs with the [left] & [right] arrow keys + make [Esc] to close the YouTube window, kind of like what Facebook does with the photo theater viewer
the left and right buttons already work actually, and if you press space you can pause the music.
Nice! Now just publish it as an Android app and we are good to go.
This is really neat. Potentially a huge time suck. Well done.
I like it as it doesn't give you too many things to do on the site (where I find the real distraction comes from) and just does things for me and looks good.
Great work
Very cool. I'm listening to it right now. But how much variation is there from day to day? Like if I go back tomorrow, will the songs all be the same? In a week?
That's a good point. So far most of the top songs just shuffle between each other. New songs start appearing towards the bottom of the list. Maybe a "random" feature could help with this?
Yeah, a random feature would be nice to provide some variety. And maybe a "trending" or "movers and shakers" list for songs that aren't necessarily in the top 40 but are still getting buzz on Twitter.
I second this. The only downside to this that I see is that it would be less mainstream music. Why this is bad is mainstream music (although not always that great) targets what most people would like. This would mean that it is unlikely that there would be the odd song that would be really jarring to someone. I figure this is a bad thing as you want something for people to listen to in the background.
I cannot imagine that this is really meant as a music discovery tool as it is meant to be the top 40 most mentioned things.
One convenient addition could also be a big search box at the top that gives me access to "archives", so that I can still listen to the older songs even when they go out of the top 40 list.
I love the UI!
