Buzz Bin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MTV's Buzz Bin was a select group of music videos by up and coming artists and bands that the network deemed buzz worthy, cutting edge, or the next big thing. As such, the selected videos received heavy rotation on the channel, and were also featured in special promotional commercials that highlighted the latest Buzz Bin selections.

The Buzz Bin began in 1987, and despite a popular misconception, it featured artists and bands from all genres of music (not just Alternative Rock or Modern Rock acts, although those were the majority). Many music industry trade publications have noted the direct effect Buzz Bin selection has had on album sales, with some sources stating that upwards of 70% of the selected acts have gone on to achieve RIAA Gold Certification or better. Buzz Bin ended in 2004 and was split in half into MTV's "Discover and Download" and VH1's "You Oughta Know"

MTV released two compilation CDs of Buzz Bin tracks, on Mammoth Records.
