Sputnikmusic (often shortened to simply Sputnik) is a music website that publishes music reviews and news entries. The site hosts both professional and amateur content, covering metal, punk, indie, rock, hip-hop, pop and other styles. Its reviews are used by the review aggregate Metacritic.
== Reception == Metacritic incorporates Sputnikmusic's staff reviews into its review aggregate ratings. The site was cited by The Guardian and Neil Daniels. Michael Miller wrote that "you're likely to fine a wide variety of opinions in the site". A Master's thesis utilized Sputnikmusic's music database for its research, due to its "focus on non-mainstream artists" and its "encompassing database". The ethnomusicologist Jorge Mercado Méndez references Sputnikmusic as an 'acclaimed' review source adjacent to Pitchfork, while musicologist Giuseppe Catani cites Sputnikmusic's Alex Robertson alongside the NME.
