| Beatles Downloads Offered on New Site Zaptunes Posted: 31 Aug 2010 05:26 AM PDT
Since the Fab Four's remaining members and other Apple Corps shareholders have yet to reach deals with more established online distributors, say iTunes and Amazon, this throws the legitimacy of Zaptunes into question. While a spokesman for the firm states it has negotiated with the "top label companies," Digital Music News reports that the site may be hearing from record company lawyers soon. "EMI Group is already drafting the legal paperwork against this shenanigan," a source told the site. Meanwhile, Zaptunes claims to have reached a deal with a different multinational. On Hypebot, a spokesman said, "We have a contract with Sony Music, who hold the rights to most of the Beatles music. I am sorry, but right now I can not give you more details about this contract." Yet earlier this month, Yoko Ono warned that a Beatles download deal was a long way off, as reported by Spinner -- and as John Lennon's widow she has a strong say in developments. Certainly no one then had heard of Zaptunes. Currently, the Web site offers free downloads for 30 days in return for your credit cards. Buyer beware, we say.

| Alicia Keys, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beatles make VH1 great artist list Posted: 30 Aug 2010 05:31 PM PDT Alicia Keys, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beatles and Michael Jackson are to be featured on a four-night special called "100 Greatest Artists of All Time," VH1 said.
With Jim Shearer serving as host, the program is to have a two-hour premiere Sept. 6. "In 1998, VH1 launched the same list as the channel's first countdown special; however; much has changed since the dawn of the new millennium. VH1 puts this debate up for a vote again to see which rock pioneers still matter and which new acts rate in the age of download-to-own music and ever-changing pop culture. The countdown will include special, rarely-seen performance footage along with brand new, totally original interviews with music's most famous faces," the network said in a news release Tuesday. The top 5 in alphabetical order are The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. Ranked Nos. 6-10 are Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Elvis Presley, James Brown and Stevie Wonder. Copyright 2010 United Press International, Inc. (UPI).
