MUMBAI: Twitter users can now listen to the top songs by the artists and people they follow on the site. Twitter has launched its new app #music for the music lovers.

The app will recommend popular songs and will bring artists music related activity on their twitter profile which can be seen by the followers.

Twitter has tied up with three music service providers for this app- iTunes, Spotify or Rdio. The social networking site is also looking forward to associate with other music companies as well.

#NowPlaying helps the followers to check what has been tweeted by the artists and people they follow on Twitter. By tapping the artist‘s "avatar" on the chart, fans can see their top songs and simultaneously they can hit the play button to listen the songs.

Twitter #music is available on the App Store and Twitter is also starting its web version soon on music.twitter.com.

The app has been only launched in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Twitter is also planning to bring the service to Android as well, as to more countries.
