1. Trent Reznor

Who? Nine Inch Nails' mainman.

Why? Trent's a musical trailblazer and is no stranger to the possibilities of online promotion and communication (yes, Grammy-bashing is included). So, being an early Twitter adopter - and a bloody good one at that - was inevitable.

Tweet of the week: "I have no idea what just happened onstage. I'm going through something".

Honorary mentions

Nick Cave
There's a very good chance that this isn't actually Nick Cave (it says 'Fake Nick Cave' in the bio section) but props to the faker for his/her determination.

Notorious BIG
There are actually 4726 people following someone who goes under the guise of Notorious BIG. We'll assume that they know he's dead, and merely enjoy imagining stuff like this is real: "Ate too much damn food at lunch. Feelin mad bloated".

Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)
No action for 29 days but plenty before. Hmmm. Perhaps MCR are a bit busy?

Rivers Cuomo (Weezer)
Weezer's mainman started off strong but with no updates since 25 November it's getting a bit boring. One to watch.

Alan McGee
Not exactly a musician, but deserves a mention for shooting his mouth off. A lot.
