The offer was available for three months, after which the band released and commercialized the album, both digitally and in CD. In this paper, we use weekly music sales data in the US between 2004-2012 to examine the effect of Radiohead’s unorthodox strategy on the band’s al- bum sales. We find that Radiohead’s PYOP offer had no effect on the subsequent CD sales. Interestingly, it yielded higher digital album sales compared to a traditional release.

  • Tom Odell Releases New Album Wrong Crowd Today, Friday June 10 on Rca Records, the Follow up to His Million-Selling Debut Long Way Down
    TOM ODELL RELEASES NEW ALBUM WRONG CROWD TODAY, FRIDAY JUNE 10 ON RCA RECORDS, THE FOLLOW UP TO HIS MILLION-SELLING DEBUT LONG WAY DOWN VIDEOS FOR TITLE TRACK “WRONG CROWD,” LEAD SINGLE “MAGNETISED”,”SOMEHOW” AND “CONCRETE” AVALABLE NOW- CLICK HERE TO WATCH (New York - June 10, 2016) Tom Odell releases his second album WRONG CROWD today, Friday 10 June. WRONG CROWD is the follow up his 2013’s million selling, #1 UK debuting album Long Way Down. Long Way Down, his debut album was met with tremendous critical reaction and earned him the highly prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year and the Brits Critics’ Choice Award. Tom will be performing his current single “Magnetised” on “The Today Show” on June 29th. Click here to watch his performance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and watch his performance and chat on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” People Magazine declared that Odell “solidifies his sound” on WRONG CROWD, Wall Street Journal described him as “soulful” and Q Magazine calls “’Magnetized’(is) thrillingly melodic.” WRONG CROWD consists of 11 songs and 4 bonus tracks. The videos for “Wrong Crowd,” and “Magnetised” were shot in South Africa, and directed by George Belfield (Arthur Beatrice, Richard Hawley, Kwabs). The storyline for the “Magnetised” video is a continuation of the “Wrong Crowd” video which also includes a portion of the song “Constellations.” Tom recently performed a slew of underplay shows in Europe, New York and Los Angeles to rave response. The UK Telegraph wrote of his London show that Odell was “electrifying…with a big, bold, bravura performance … a whole layer of charismatic rock swagger…Odell might be the missing link between showboating Seventies Elton and the epic emotionalism of Coldplay.

  • Some New Music to Turn That Frown Upside-Down
    Some New Music To Turn That Frown Upside-Down Bittle Magazine | Record Reviews This June has been something of a short, hard kick in the face for all those who say there is no good new music out there, with so many great new albums that it‘s hard to know where to begin. By JOHN BITTLES. Seriously, it’s almost as if those within the music business knew about my spiralling DJ Sprinkles addiction and decided to release lots of great music to help wean me off. We have the gorgeous romantic house vibes of Glitterbug, the melancholy soul-searching of The Antlers, synth-pop gold from Lust For Youth, killer slacker rock from Happyness and so much more. And if you still aren’t excited about new music after reading this article then just play ›Midtown 120 Blues‹ on repeat. It works for me! This month we’re gonna start with one of the most surprisingly touching and exciting new albums of the last few weeks, ›Weird Little Birthday‹ , the debut album by London-based newcomers Happyness. Taking US slacker rock as a starting point the band give us 13 tracks that are, at turns, tear inducing, bittersweet, and full of that ‘We don’t give a fuck’ attitude that you’ve just got to love. ›Naked Patients‹ , the album’s second track has already been proven by a top team of scientists (me and my mate Steve) to increase a listeners ‘hip’ quota by 15 whole points! Meanwhile ›Orange Luz‹ is so laidback it almost forgets it’s there.

  • Uk Versus Usa at the Shockwaves Nme Awards 2007
    STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 8PM MONDAY 29 TH JANUARY Insert logo UK VERSUS USA AT THE SHOCKWAVES NME AWARDS 2007 Expect blood, sweat and tears as we prepare for what will undoubtedly be one big dirty rock’n’roll battle of the bands – and of the nations – at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 . The best of British – Arctic Monkeys , Muse and Kasabian – will take on stateside success stories My Chemical Romance and The Killers on March 1 at Hammersmith Palais. Let battle commence! This year, there’s no one clear leader but FIVE bands that dominate the nominations list. With four nominations each, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Kasabian, The Killers and My Chemical Romance have been chosen by the fans to fight it out on the night. For the past two years, it’s been British bands sweeping the board, but this year The Killers and My Chemical Romance may very well make the 2007 ceremony a stateside success story. Arctic Monkeys made NME Awards history last year by scooping the Award for both Best New Band and Best British Band in the same year, in addition to winning Best Track and scoring a nomination for Best Live Band . Sheffield’s favourites have matched their achievement, with four nominations this year for Best British Band, Best Live Band, Best Album and Best Music DVD. Arctic Monkeys said: “Very nice, we didn’t think we would get any this year! It seems weird for us to be alongside them [the competition] because we still feel like a little band. When it’s your own thing you don’t really see yourself alongside The Killers and Kasabian.” The Monkeys have more than one tough fight on their hands if they want to claim the Best British Band title for the second year running, though.

Psycho" che anticipa l'album "For Crying Out Loud!" in uscita il 28 "For Crying Out Loud!" è il sesto album della loro carriera, scritto e prodotto dal deus ex machina Serge Pizzorno (cantante e chitarrista del aprile gruppo) e registrato nel suo studio Sergery a Leicester. L'album è il seguito di "48:13" del 2014 dove il gruppo di Leicester aveva seguito una direzione più elettronica, mentre ora la loro intenzione dichiarata è quella di far in modo che siano le chitarre a essere le protagoniste assolute. ANTONIO GALLUZZO È un concentrato di tutto ciò che ha reso famosi I Kasabian e oltre a "You're In Love With A Psycho", contiene altri pezzi potenti come "Bless [email protected] This Acid House", destinato a diventare una hit estiva, la SPETTACOLINEWS.IT contagiosa "Good Fight", il pezzo dal sapore rock steady "Ill Ray (the King)". Ha raccontato Serge a proposito dell'album: "Ho deciso di dare a me stesso sei settimane per scrivere un album come si usava fare in passato, che fosse veramente ispirato.
