The web is a rapidly-changing place and since our most up-to-date updates to the design of AllMusic had been in 2013, we have wanted to make some upgrades to the structure and performance of the positioning. We hope that they’re seen as enhancements (however let’s face it, we have been by way of a number of occasions over the many years and no one likes change).

The first change you may see is that the methods to navigate inside pages has modified (or fairly modified again, in some methods). Now you may leap to the artist’s discography, credit, awards or different data by utilizing the hyperlinks which might be pinned to the facet of the display screen. By having the hyperlinks to open extra data at all times available, our hope is which you could get to the sections you are on the lookout for in a extra environment friendly method.

Moreover, the knowledge for an artist or an album can all be displayed on one lengthy web page (versus leaping by way of a number of pages). Hopefully this feels a bit bit “Internet 1.0” however in a constructive means.

The brand new structure makes use of barely bigger font and spacing for improved readability, and to assist customers on cellular units click on hyperlinks and buttons extra cleanly. The web page is wider to permit us to put advertisements in a much less obtrusive means and to keep away from overlapping web page content material wherever potential. Adverts are no one’s favourite subject however they’re a requirement to maintain the positioning up and operating. The extra web site width additionally permits for extra data to be displayed and sorted, so issues like common consumer rankings can seem in additional locations.
