It's incredible listening to all of the new music that is coming in daily. Just yesterday Saja Butler loaded some tracks. Check out "Woman" that she has loaded up. She works out of Fort Collins, CO.
Luke Shirock is Lukedot and has loaded two albums. Luke from Chicago has two albums, A and B. Check out "Bicycles" on the B album.
Song Trust continues to surge! They are the #1 most added song on Country radio for last week. And #39 on the Country charts. There are now numerous YouTube postings of fan contributed videos.
We also recently secured digital distribution from Conway Twitty's estate. His Christmast Album "Twismas" is doing well with most traffic coming directly from their site to their Speakerheart storefront.
Cherie has done some recent work for Islandfield on his myspace page and it is looking sharp.
We had a great meeting in Denver last week and hopefully will be able to announce an additional distribution arrangement for our Speakerheart artists after Christmas.
We will probably post a new build to production next week. It will alphabetize our genre listing, update postal code validator and create some new text for paying with paypal. Too many people are trying to pay while keeping their popup blockers on which hinders checkout.
Song Trust's Bring Him Home Santa hit the airwaves last night, with radio play on KMPS. Their web site quickly surged in traffic and we saw immediate purchases from the Seattle area. Capitol Records is distributing the song to radio and this is just the beginning.
We are meeting with Justin Branam next week. He was our first featured artist on our launch and he has recently moved to Nashville.
Last night and this morning I loaded up some tracks from southern rock pioneer Stephen Wrench. Stephen has worked with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Terry Nails, Molly Hatchett, Tommy Tutone and is getting some of the old stuff that has never been heard out on Speakerheart. You can check it out under Bone Angels, Stephen Wrench, Rock Road and Stephen and Terry.
We spoke with Kevin Chalfant of Clique Records last week and hope to have his music up soon. We also spoke with Graham Kurzner at LuckiePierre who promptly loaded Buddy to the site. I really enjoyed the Buddy album.
All of our developers are in town this week as we charge toward our 1.5 release. We are also working on integrating a better paypal solution. We also put up our Christmas tree today so now we have flashing lights in the office.
