Billboard analyses twitter effect on music sales

June 28, 2009 News 2 Comments

Since Coolfer stopped I went back to reading Billboard online. Their article on twitter made some good observations about how it affects music sales. Last week Yves Klein Blue’s team made the announcement that it was going to distribute a free download by signing up to follow their tweets. Unfortunately for them, launching the promotion on Friday meant they were over shadowed by the biggest newstories of the year. I would like to hear from anyone who downloaded the track?

    I am a fan… so as soon as I was on the site, I was retweeting on the subject.

    I planning on a album purchase soon…. just spewing I missed them in sydney on 4/7.
