Pop Crave, LLC. is a media and news company, founded by Will Cosme in December 2015. The company is primarily Twitter and Instagram-based but is backed by its website.
Overview
Pop Crave offers music and celebrity news on an hourly basis, predominantly within the "stan" community. Unlike most web-based celebrity gossip outlets, Cosme posts short news snippets to Twitter and Instagram, providing a platform to fan communities, journalists, large entertainment outlets, and musicians.[1][2] Cosme created a functional news site in order to expand his pop culture stories, highlight trending news, and provide exclusive celebrity interviews.[3][4]
Pop Crave was one of the first news outlets to call the 2020 United States presidential election, after Decision Desk HQ.[5][6]
Rolling Stone and Yahoo! Finance highlight Pop Crave for breaking down the genesis and importance of streaming numbers in the music industry.[7][8]
