Justin Timberlake's countdown website is very different to the other websites I looked at. This website was just a countdown site to the release of a new single. It features an autoplay of the new video and links to buy the single on 'Amazon', 'iTunes', 'Google Play', 'Spotify' and 'Myspace'. There is also an open letter from Justin Timberlake. This adds a personal touch and a direct link between the artist and his fans.
Pink's website is also mainstream and features many of the same features including; tweets, photos, videos, tour dates and news. The use of fan activity again allows for this link to be made between the artist and the fans. There are various fan photos on the site as well as professional photos of Pink looking very glamorous.
Marina and the Diamonds website was particularly key for research as it is also from the genre of 'Indie Pop'. Key features are still seen in this website including; news, photos, videos, shows, lyrics and the store. This allows fans to purchase merchandise for example, jewellery, t-shirts and accessories. A unique feature is the use of the exclusive free download of a song and the members only area. This means her members will feel exclusive and have a closer link with the star.
