Here's an ambitious project worth supporting. A group calling itself BumRush The Charts plans to propel an indie music band to the top of the iTunes charts. The date is March 22nd.
All they ask is for people to swing by iTunes.com and buy the song Mine Again" by the group Black Lab.
Thanks to Shel Holtz who featured this in the FIR Podcast and blog.
If you're not sure about making iTunes rich on this day, you'd be glad to know that there's a sizable payoff for the band. Moreover, the band will donate a big part of the proceeds to a college scholarship. The stats are compelling enough for me to want to support this. When a $0.99 cent song is bought from iTunes, if the artist is represented by a Big Music record label, 0.75 cents goes to the label, and just 0.05 cents to the artist! (Apple keeps 0.19 cents)
For this particular download by Black Lab, 0.40 cents will go to the band, and 0.45 to a scholarship fund (Apple will keep 0.14 cents)
