Consequence of Sound is listed as one of the most influential music websites by Technorati.[5] In 2010, About.com ranked CoS the year's best music blog, based on "Technorati rankings and the online buzz throughout the year".[6] In the Spring of 2014, Style of Sound calculated that Consequence of Sound charted as the second most influential music blog.

In 2009, CoS reported that Paul McCartney and The Killers would headline the 2009 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival prior to its lineup announcement.[7]
