	List of best-selling music artists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a non-definitive list of best selling recording artists, embracing worldwide singles and album sales.
		In general there is no official organization that certifies worldwide record sales (such as the RIAA does for U.S. record sales).
		Many of bestselling artists from Asia, Africa and Latin America are still not included because of the lack of data.

	Artists Against Piracy: Whose Music Is It, Anyway?
		Like most people in the music industry who have something to say about music on the Internet (and who doesn’t?), Stone sees it as the conduit of the future—for established artists and up-and-comers alike.
		When you’re talking about selling a difference of between 50,000 and 200,000 records because of the Internet, that can really make a difference for us in our careers monetarily and how we are perceived by our labels.
		Myplay.com, a site that allows members to accumulate and share downloaded music in their personal online “lockers.” He raises the point that, in popular music, the “middle class” of artists has all but disappeared and the Internet may be the key to its revival.

		Artists who are willing to speak to the media to publicly lend their support to the idea that recording artists need an organization that represents our interests in Washinton and with the record companies.

		Artists and songwriters of every style and genre are speaking out against illegal copying, including Madonna, Elton John, Eminem, Sheryl Crow, Jay Z, Lenny Kravitz and more.
		From the artist perspective, they are raped because more often than not they don't make a lot of money on sales anyway, so what little they would see is largely reduced by piracy.
		It’s also a huge disrespect when those artists have emptied their soul for the whole world to hear and see, and to know that someone standing on a corner can pimp them for $5.

	CIOL : News : Is music subscription the ‘Best Buy’?
		NEW YORK: Best Buy Co. Inc., a U.S. consumer electronics chain, said that it has begun selling subscriptions to RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody digital music service, as music labels and retailers rush to cash in on the growing allure of Internet downloading.

	The Problem With Music
		The initials stand for "Artist and Repertoire." because historically, the A & R staff would select artists to record music that they had also selected, out of an available pool of each.
		The explanation usually copped-to is that the scout will be "hip to the current musical "scene." A more important reason is that the bands will intuitively trust someone they think is a peer, and who speaks fondly of the same formative rock and roll experiences.
		Sub Pop made millions from selling off Nirvana, and Twin Tone hasn't done bad either: 50 grand for the Babes and 60 grand for the Poster Children-- without having to sell a single additional record.

	List of best-selling music artists - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		According to the RIAA (http://www.riaa.com/news/marketingdata/default.asp), the World music market is estimated at $40 billion annually, and the U.S. recording industry accounts for one-third of the world market.
		The ratio between their US and worldwide album sales can be helpful in estimating the worlwide sales of artists that are similar in their US and worldwide exposure but only have US sales figures.
		Also since this technique is based on album sales, it will tend to undercount those artists popular in the 1960s and before, when singles were much more popular relative to albums than they have been since then.

	CD Baby: a little CD store with the best new independent music
		With a flair and bite like Tito Puente, James Sanders & Conjunto fire up their audiences with zesty Latin jazz mixing in the zing of salsa and upbeat dance rhythms, complemented by slower, bossa-like elegance.
		Starting off with dub-inspired beats, bringing in tastefully economic guitar, reverberating vibraphone and poignant keyboards, then tilting the angle with their consistently mind-blowing vocals (both guy and girl), this gang is making Portland, Oregon most proud.
		All details aside, the overall impression is one of sincere, genuine music-making; these four guys and a girl put their hearts into every sound, every silence and every breath, reminding us that the magic of music happens in the subtleties and the vulnerabilities.

		The music from the Coen brothers' Depression-era film taps into the source from which the purest strains of country, blues, bluegrass, folk, and gospel music flow.
		Another noteworthy aspect of this CD is the liner notes by the Coen brothers, who unabashedly lament the disappearance of this style of music from Nashville in favor of 'modern country music.' It is an interesting perspective from two filmmakers who always seem to have something important to say through their art.
		The music here, like the film it provides the soundtrack for, is presumably intended to take us back to the thirties.

	Amazon.com: Music: Let's Be Us Again (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		I have no qualms with artists trying to placate the support of radio; after all without airplay, it's commercial suicide for any artist.
		The titles say it all: "County Fair," "T.G.I.F.," "Summertime," and "Class Reunion." Following in the shadow of their mega smash hit "Amazed," most of the ballads here are powerhouse performance with Richie McDonald trying to prove that he could reach and sustain the high notes, rather than trying to express the emotions of the songs.
		Maybe Lonestar should take their own advice and "let's be us again." They need to re-discover their own identity and chose songs that express that identity, rather than fashion itself into an over grown boy band singing mawkish material.

		For those starving for something different than the stale marketing-obsessed commercial music scenes, be it cynic-hipster indie rock (and its various sub categories), gangsta pop, or whatever, the Jann Klose show at the Bitter End on July 5 offered a glimpse of what pop was and can be again.
		Those of us lucky enough to be in the audience witnessed something more rare in the music world than inspiration - good old-fashioned, musically sharp pop music.

		The best of the soundtrack are the Shins, who get double exposure with the eerily sweet "New Slang" and resonating "Caring is Creepy," and Iron & Wine's lovely cover of "Such Great Heights" (originally by the Postal Service).
		Though it was hard to get some of the music rights on an indie-film budget, Braff won over several artists by showing them where their songs would go -- situated in scenes where they have plenty of impact.
		The beautiful music of "Garden State's" soundtrack can serve as a poignant reminder of the movie, or can stand on its own as a good collection of rich music including Zero 7, the Shins, and Frou Frou.
