What Is Top the Charts?
It's a breeze for big record labels to push songs up the charts. They just open up their pocket books and wave a wad of cash around. Boom! They own the Celtic Top 10.
If you listen to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, you know that it's not that big labels have better music, it's that they have more money and expertise to promote the music they own. That is not the case for the indie Celtic musician... all we have is YOU!
Here's How It Works
-
You sign up on the right hand side of this page.
-
On Wednesday, May 23 you buy the song Memories of Ireland from either iTunes or Amazon (or both if you’re feeling generous).
-
You can give the song as a gift. You can also buy it multiple times for multiple friends.
-
If enough of us do this in one day, we’ll push that song into the Daily Top 10 Chart, which hopefully will keep it in the top ten for a while.
"Memories of Ireland" by Poitin
Memories of Ireland is actually a track by the award-winning group Poitin. It's from their album Hot Days where it is called "Midsomer" and features two tunes: "Island Memories" and "Julia Delaney".
Poitin is an award-winning Celtic group from the Czech Republic. They dominate the Celtic Radio internet charts with their amazing traditional (and sometimes not-so-traditional) sound. Tunes featured below come from their albums: Poitin, Hot Days, and Bofiguifluki (Celtic Radio Album of the Year 2010).
Friends Are Better Than Money
Even without a huge budget, we can break the Top 10 charts on iTunes and Amazon. But we need your help.
Once you signup, start spreading the word through your social networks. Lets see if we can get more people involved.
As a Special Bonus, if we make it into the charts, I’ll send everyone who helped out a special two-hour long episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast.
Start your promotional engines. Send people to www.celticmusicpodcast.com/topthecharts so we can break down the walls of the major record labels. |
