Pandora Media Inc (P): This Week in Sirius XM Radio Inc (SIRI)

Zacks is also concerned about Liberty Media Corp (NASDAQ:LMCA)‘s completion of its move to take majority control of the company earlier this year.

“We do not know whether there will be any change in management policy after the takeover,” the release reads. However, it’s still telling that Zacks times the upgrade less than two weeks before Sirius XM’s next quarterly report.

Tweet your tune
After weeks, if not months, of hype, Twitter #music went live to the masses. On the surface, it’s pretty basic. It’s just a platform — available on desktop, but also via mobile apps — that scours Twitter to surface the songs and emerging artists that users are talking about.

It’s more of an attack on Billboard‘s music charts than a threat to Pandora, Spotify, or even Sirius XM Radio Inc (NASDAQ:SIRI). However, it’s also a tool that musical artists can use to more effectively promote their own material and the stuff that they happen to be listening to these days. It will increase the stickiness of Twitter, and that will be great for Twitter itself.

Sirius XM, on the other hand, has little to worry about here — for now.
