First off, I agree with what all has been said about this company just explaining what they do..seems quite a simple request to me. But I'm responding to the part about 'real charts'. I guess, after just reading the article in Performing Songwriter on ‘Payola’, my question is, what is a ‘real chart’? I mean, if Shanya Twain’s label paid $1.5 million to get her on the Pop charts, is that ‘real’? If these Indies are still being paid thousands to get songs a higher amount of spins, is that ‘real’? Is the definition of ‘real’ that you ‘earned’ your way to the chart, or that you are just on the chart? And, if the labels are paying for spins, then, of course, the PRO will pay royalties, that’s their job..again, in response to the spins, in response to the labels paying for those spins. I guess the question is, is there such a thing as a ‘real’ chart, where the songs earned their way on it simply because the audience liked it, without any dollar persuasions being involved???
