How To Break A 1 hit on MP3 com At the end of August 2000, I read some ad-copy on CelticWays.com. In it John WILMOTT, NMA organizers, spoke of a new direction in the music market. He expects the CD went out of fashion, the MP3 and the new digital technologies. He awoke in me the desire of the new model in music MP3.com.Three months later, the Brobdingnagian bards are almost $ 4000 richer, and was # 1 in the world / folk and Celtic-graphics and a high MP3 . com Artist for over two weeks in January, the question 2000.So many of you are asking us how to do?

But in all honesty, I do not think these were the main reason for our success because our success hit nearly two months after our last concert! No, no, depends on something else. And here is goes.1.

If the production sucks! Repeated. Hell, a live version professionally. You can make a sound recording of a song below $ 40 To make your best.2. Name of your creative songs.

But it will probably be more successful if you're with a ballad instrumental. That's cool if your songs instrumental starts climbing charts, you can use to increase the success of your non-instrumental music. You see, my goal was not to "Tolkien" on top, but all our songs charts. The success of "Tolkien" has given us more than twenty songs in the top 40 entirely MP3.com! 4th Publish the song in general correct. From day one, "Tolkien" was generally Celtic. You could go to "Mood Music" or other classic but, once again, that fits the style of songs. And 'the name of a fantasy author. Most of the fantasy that music could fit into genre.However is an important indication. The Celtic is not easy. Even if I say that the right way, the correct genre is what gives the maximum exposure with minimal effort. Remember that usually works best to make your song into a category as deep as possible. The reason is that once you are at the top of a chart, you are automatically moved to the next higher chart.For example, "Tolkien" was> World / Folk> Traditions> European> Celtic.

"Tolkien" was originally written "Tolkien", because this is a name very commonly mistaken names of fans. But despite the spelling error was still a great success charts.7. Your DAM CD. Just as the world outside of MP3.com, CD sales charts command. If you sell well, your songs climb the charts. If no, are not. For two months, "Tolkien" Saturday just outside the Top 40 Celtic.

Also, remember to offer incentives and new. It will be the success that all moing.11. Pay IT forward.

Even after the launch of the Pay IT forward plan, where we have a web page with email link and told the people if they are our songs "pay forward" and the music with a friend we have with 5 -20 People e-mail to others with our music a day. E 'was equal to zero before the program. To examine the fans to "pay it forward" .12. Now live.
