We study the topology of several music recommendation networks, which risefrom relationships between artist, co-occurrence of songs in playlists orexperts' recommendation. The analysis uncovers the emergence of complex networkphenomena in this kind of recommendation networks, built considering artists asnodes and their resemblance as links. We observe structural properties thatprovide some hints on navigation and possible optimizations on the design ofmusic recommendation systems. Finally, the analysis derived from existing musicknowledge sources provides a deeper understanding of the human music similarityperceptions.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure
