Sorry for the italian fragments, the core part is in english. I have
been waiting for this piece of news for a few years now.

Best regards,

E' giunta la fine delle case discografiche come le conoscevamo?

Download Only Song to Crack the Top 40

From the all-shook-up dept.

nagora writes "The BBC is reporting that next week's UK music chart
may have the first sign of the end of the recording industry as we
know it. From this week (7th Jan, 2006), all downloaded music sales
are counted in the official UK chart, not just tracks which have had a
physical media release. Now, an unsigned band called Koopa is poised
to enter the top 40 without any old-world recording, distribution, or
production deals. Band member Joe Murphy says "If someone comes along
and gives us an offer, we'll talk to them." before continuing on to
add the words the recording industry has been having nightmares about
since the introduction of the mp3 format: "If we can get enough
exposure and get in the top 40 by the end of the week, do we
necessarily need a large label? Probably nowadays, no you don't." Is
this finally the crack in the dam we've all been waiting for to wash
away the entrenched monopolies of 20th century music production? Or
just a sell-out waiting to happen?"

Ciao,
