I actually think that this time the Amazon guys have leap frogged iTunes
by two country miles.

So next we will see Amazon Radio ....

What are people listening to right now ?

22% are listening to .....      Click here to listen to a ten second
clip...
16% are listening to .....      Click here to listen to a ten second
clip...

Click here to buy a copy...

The power of marketing.
If the labels leave it alone, it has the capacity to create enormous
global sales for recording artists and for the first time ever, a World
Top Twenty....
Which of course will result in the emergence of the "Superstar...."

Interesting, this might actually revitalise the music industry that has
been locked into iPod/iTunes mania (which of course is only available to
one sixth of the worlds population.)
