History made in Uk

Hey

For the first time a song has made it to No1 in the UK charts based on downloads alone. Pretty good news for the online industry.

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

Does this do anything for your online music motivation?

Cheers

John

never did figure out digi-recording or posting up mp3s john. so no, that info is as relevant to me as a wagonload of monkeys.

Is that a wagon load of Arctic Monkeys...?

As for the download No: 1. I suppose it was just a matter of time! Sooner or later, the big boys have got to wake up to the reality of the internet! I think it's Great! I heard on the news yesterday of a girl doing gigs in her flat and broadcasting on the net. She grew an audience of over 100,000 fans. So she went to one of the big companies (can't recall who?) and asked for a record deal! How's that for initiative!

Its the best news I have heard in a long time considering my business depends on it!
