What do I have in common with Shakira? More than you might think.
Many of you know that my debut album, Dying Stars, has been available for download at the iTunes music store for almost a year now (see left sidebar), and every now and then I check to see if there have been any new reviews written (two 5 star reviews so far!).
Another feature that iTunes has is the "Listeners also bought" section on the right-hand side of an individual artist page. I've used this feature several times to discover new artists who have a similar sound as those to whom I already listen. For a while, this feature wasn't available on my artist page, presumably because there weren't enough downloads of my music for iTunes to compare with users' purchases.
Well, now there is a "Listeners also bought" section on my artist page, and the artists listed aren't exactly similar to my style of music. Listeners who bought the music of Jake Bouma also bought: Fergie, Carrie Underwood, Death Cab for Cutie, Akon, and Shakira.
Go figure.

What do you have in common with Shakira? You mean besided hips that don’t lie?…
