#1: Red & Blue Birds by Silent DogSilent Dog topped our very first local song chart with their song Red & Blue birds which, despite receiving the least amount of 'airplays', shot to the top due to the number of downloads it received.
Each 'airplay' (streaming plays direct from the site which are free) count as one chart point whereas downloads (which cost approximately 50p per song) count as 10 chart points. The downloads generate additional revenue for the bands who receive 20p of every download.
The company behind the site, Project Opus take 25p per download and Darwen Online retain just 5p per song to cover admin costs.
Bands can submit their own songs directly to Project Opus and keep the full 25p but there are advantages to using Darwen Online:
* No minimum withdrawal
* Monthly payout
* We take care of uploading songs
* Feature in the Darwen Online charts
* Benefit from local promotion of Darwen Online
* Low cost - just 75p per song upload.
Bands interested in featuring in future charts by having their songs featured on the site please contact Craig or Eileen.
Note: The monthly charts are updated regularly throughout the month so you can track progress of your favourite song. The final chart positions are based on downloads/airplay within each calendar month and are updated on the last day of the month.
