Your best of 2017

2017 was a big year for bluenotes – we had a major face lift and explored new territory with podcasts, video, interactive charts and more. We made those changes because we can see, from how you are using bluenotes, what you want.

To kick off the new year we’ve crunched the numbers and come up with the top 10 stories from 2017 – as dictated by you.

We hope you enjoyed 2017 as much as we did and we look forward to bringing you more news and insights in 2018 and beyond.
