The Whitehalls are now signed with Tunecore for all of our digitial distribution!
What does that mean for you?
By the end of March all songs from our debut album, “Say It Like You Mean It” will be available from the following:
- iTunes – U.S., UK/European Union, Canada, Australia/N.Z., Japan, Mexico
- Amazon MP3
- MySpace Music
- Napster
- eMusic
- IMVU
- Lala
- Rhapsody
- Shockhound
- Amie Street
- LimeWire Store
- Nokia
- Zune
According to a recent article and data from Neilsen (Soundscan – the people who track CD sales from record stores) & Tunecore:
- According to Nielsen (self defined as “…the world’s leading marketing and media information company.”) there were:
- “…106,000 new (music) releases in 2008″
- In 2009, TuneCore released approximately 90,000 releases
- This means, if their numbers hold true, almost every single new music release in 2009 was distributed via TuneCore.
And now add The Whitehalls to that list!
Feel free to check out the songs via the cool new Tunecore Widget on this blog and support us with the purchase of a song or two!
Think of it as a cheaper alternative to buying Drew drinks at the bar…

Happy to have helped! But those Neilsen numbers are way, way off. We’ve released TONS more. Hop over to our blog to see more about the debate over how SoundScan does (or does not!) work:

Thanks, best of luck!

@Peter Wells –
Hi Peter – thanks for the comment and definitely there is a lot more data to consider (a lot available on your blog)and a lot of discussion to be had on all fronts.
That said though the evolution of music distribution has changed with companies like Tunecore leading the charge on how independent music gets out to the masses!
To be successful still requires hard work along with the building of critical mass, but as an artist it’s more and more in your hands.
Scary thought for some, seriously welcomed by others (like The Whitehalls)!
Thanks Peter!
