Instagram also explained that the account will feature 6 posts per week, including 3 different series:
- – #LocallySourced featuring unsigned artists
- – #DoubleTrack featuring artist interest outside of music
- – #15SecondLessons featuring how-to videos

The posts take followers through their journey so far and their love affair with music, always providing an insider look, in the way Instagram gained its reputation for.
After 1 day and only 3 posts, the account has already 19,000 followers. My guess is that it will reach a million follower pretty fast and prove that @Music is a clever move by Instagram.
Who do you suggest should be next to be featured on Instagram’s @Music?
