Right about now, faithful readers of the Jamglue blog might be asking: where you all been at? Its been almost a year and no news - are the founders asleep at the wheel?
Quite the opposite actually - for Jamglue, the silence has been golden. The year 2009 has given us a warm welcome by delivering some of our proudest milestones to date:
Last week, we surpassed 1,000,000 registered users! Our community is thriving and growing with strength and energy. Jamglue’s rappers, producers and mashup artists are making waves not only on Jamglue, but have been signed to record labels, performed on national tours, and have made hit radio singles in cities around the world.
Also not long ago, we celebrated our 2,000,000th mix created on Jamglue! The creativity is astounding, and many of these mixes have been remixed within the community hundreds or thousands of times, setting a new standard for fan interaction and engagement.
And not to leave out all the great Jamglue users who may not be just mixing, but are there checking out the hottest mixes and tracks on Jamglue - in the past month, over 980,000 people have visited Jamglue, and spent an average of 13 minutes on the site. That’s the equivalent of over 212,000 hours, or 8,800 days spent on Jamglue in the past 30 days. Now that’s a lot of love right there!
And now, to take a break from patting ourselves on the back, I’d like to provide an update to the ongoing question: “who you reppin’?”
Top 10 Cities represented on Jamglue this month:
1) New York City (Brooklyn + Manhattan + Bronx)
2) London, United Kingdom
3) Miami, FL
4) Chicago, IL
5) Houston, TX
6) Atlanta, GA
7) Richmond, VA
8 ) Louisville, KY
9) Raleigh, NC
10) Washington, DC
And lastly, here are the winning remixes from our last several contests in 2008:
This post has been a long time coming - this past fall, we sponsored not one, but six amazing contests here on Jamglue! Here are some of the contest winners below - props to all the great MC’s, DJ’s and fans who entered and voted in these contests. Be sure to check them out below, and hit them up on Jamglue with your suggestions and praise.

Apologies to all the faithful readers of the Jamglue Blog - but no news has been great news! We’ve been really busy building Jamglue into a huge success, and keeping up with some really exciting growth and developments.
Since our last post back in November, the Jamglue community has almost quadrupled! We now have over 330,000 registered members (and growing by thousands per day!), and have over 650,000 people coming through each month.
On the creative side, we’ve had a bunch of wildly successful contests (winners to be announced in the next post), and have several more coming up this spring. Our dedicated users have created over 680,000 mixes, and are rapidly heading toward 7 figures in this category.
There’s been so much excitement, energy and creativity on Jamglue these days, it’s no wonder it’s been so contagious! We’ve got all kinds of artists and fans spending all their free time on the site — chatting, collaborating, and listening to the hottest new mixes. Also, a big shout-out to all our great volunteers on the Jamglue Street Team — they’ve been reppin’ Jamglue like crazy by spreading the word in their schools and communities.
Lastly, Jamglue has been nominated for CNET’s 2008 Webware Awards - voting is open until March 31st, so if you’ve got a minute, vote for us here:
Anyway if you haven’t been to Jamglue lately (or even if you have!) - come through and see what all the hype is about. And stay tuned for some contest winner announcements, new promotions, and other great stuff coming up!
As always, if you’ve got questions, suggestions, or just wanna show us some love, holla@cha girl!

And I’ve just gotta ask — where’s the 206 at? How is Mississauga, Ontario beating our own hometown? Weak.
