WHY WE NEED YOU!

Hey this is the place where you can hangout, listen to music AND help select the best NEW music from around the world from established and emerging artists and songwriters. Hey, music is the glue that bonds humanity together so why not help make the glue right? Got an opinion? Just let us know... An announcement related to New Music? We would like to know that one too...

Traditional music charts are created from one of two traditional systems:

1) Sales. Sales of songs by recording artists determine chart placement. The weakness of this system is that "money talks" and if you are a big recording company (with deep pockets) you can "salt" sales by buying (through proxy buyers and proxy brick and mortar record outlets) recordings and guarantee yourself some high placements.

2) Plays. On the internet are thousands of sites that offer charting systems where the placement is based upon the number of plays a particular song might get. The weakness of this system is that "rings of friends" can be created whereby artists can agree to listen to each other's music over and over in order to artificially create high plays and chart placement. Recently software has been developed by unsavory internet characters that "gamers" can buy in the form computer bots and spiders that artificially trigger software counters for the sole purpose of "game plays" and run the play statistics (and thus chart placement) higher.

The end result is a totally corrupt music system -- not fair to the listeners and certainly not fair to the talented artists and songwriters who have invested their own time and money to try to bring the world quality, new music.

Join the Kickradio Revolution! 

This is the next generation for the music industry and it's dedicated consumers and listeners. We are what radio used to be and lost. As Beeb Birtles, former founding member of the Little River Band, says, "Kickradio is the future of radio!"...

Here you will find the top 40 New songs from around the world performed by established and emerging artists.

These music charts are listener-based and listener driven. They are literally turning the music industry upside down. Why? Because this music is selected by a world wide Jury of listeners who, each week, carefully evaluate each song based upon 5 tangible criteria:

1. The first 30 seconds (introduction) of the song.

2. The Hook (Song is lodged in your memory -- catchy, you can't get enough of it.)

3. Uniqueness (song has it's own special identity, It is different.)

4. Performance. Song is performed well by talented musicians.

5. Motivation to Own. The listener likes this song so much they want to own it.

Truly these songs are the best of the best new songs in the world today. Our Jury is made up of regular normal music fans who just happen to enjoy and appreciate good music. They are not professional critics or music reviewers but music listeners and music buyers.

Because these are new songs they have not yet sold enough copies to make traditional charts like the Billboard and other long-time traditional charts that are based upon actual sales -- nor are they ranked by number of "plays" like most traditional internet-based charts.

Therefore these are a predictable indicator of future hit songs by very talented songwriters and artists. By listening to the Global Top 40 Show you can hear New music by established and emerging artists that you just can't hear anywhere else -- yet!

As you review the charts and listen to the show you can click on the song position on the chart which will then whisk you away via the magic link there to that particular artist's web page where you can learn more about them, sample other music, purchase CD's or download digital MP3 files. It's fun and it's so easy... bookmark this page and come back each week to listen to the latest chart rankings of this Internationally syndicated Radio show hosted by Silverfox.
