    Hello all,
    I've been browsing the net with no avail to find out even some basic info about how to put the first steps in place to release a single via downloads that will register in the charts. As far as I know providers that can do this are Itunes, Vodafone, Eircom, Sony, Connect, Wippit and Bleep and there may be many more.

    I'm looking for a steer to a resource or some advice regarding how I sign up with them, how much of my cash they pillage per song etc and basically any other stuff I need to know. Feedback much appreciated.
    Thanks y'all

    cheers
    any idea how difficult it is for unsigned bands to get stuff up there? Is it just a matter of going through the re-tape?

    It's extremely hard to get anything on these sites there is something called Digital Rights Management which you need to get past first which involves a third party company it's really complicated my publisher tried to explain it to me but it went completely over my head so I just let him get on with it!

    Hi, you can check our website - we release music digitally worldwide, and sales count towards the charts - check out www.rmgchart.ie. For the irish chart, you need a physical and download single available before it counts towards the official chart, but digital only releases can still be made available for sale.

    I've recently submitted a track to iTunes and was very pleased with the service offered by http://www.mdmarecords.net as they allow you to submit spoken word, comedy etc aswell as songs/tunes.
    and they don't take any revenue from your sales.
    Hope that helps.

    Tunecore:

    Simply sign up, pay €30, upload your album and artwork, they will generate a upc for you, so easy so simple.

    The album is in itunes worldwide and napster rhapsody etc...

    only downside is that it takes at-least a month and a half b4 it shows up on the sites. so far i have collected royalties so yes its simple.. You can even add a single and extra tracks if you want!

    Really good experience in my opinion
