Music industry gives the bullet to chart fixing idea
Wednesday, 09, June 2010


A VERY public attempt to manipulate the Australian music charts has been laughed off as amateurish and out of date by the industry.Chartfixer.com claims it can get a song into the Australian Top 20 for a payment of $30,000. It achieves this by getting its registered downloaders to buy 5000 copies of the song, paying them $3 for a download that generally costs about $1.75. Chartfixer keeps the balance.

Last year the Australian music industry generated nearly $450 million in sales, a growing proportion of individual downloads of single tracks. There were 36 million of these.In written responses to questions put by the Herald, someone identifying himself only as ''Mr Chartfixer'' said that getting artists to No. 1 wasn't the goal.The website would help musicians nudge their way in to the charts, thereby enticing radio stations to add the song to their playlists, encourage shops to stock the song and attract the attention of the public and media.
