Vi Vi introduces XL Recordings

Xl recordings is host to some of the latest independent artists in the charts at this moment in time  included artists signed to the label are Adele, The XX The White Stripes, Radio Head, Vampire Weekend and Basement Jaxx just to name a few. As you can see all the acts are doing extremely well xl look to score a number 1 in the U.S. with grammy winner Adele with new album 21. 21 has already had chart success, the album in the UK alone has sold well over 600,000 copies making it 2x Platinum. She has also made a record that matches the Beatles, As well as selling 21, her début album 19 has rocketed up the charts to number 4 and Singles Someone Like You (currently the UK number 1) and Rolling in the deep ( UK number 4) are both in the top 5  with someone like you beating off stiff competition from Lady Gaga and new pop sensation Jessie J.  She is the first artist to match the record for having two albums and two singles in the top five in the same week. The increase of records sold since the Brit awards has had a dramatic effect on independent artists as well as Adele The XX has also re enter the top 40 albums chart at number 32. The xx also where the winners of 2010 mercury prize award for there début album XX. some previous winners have been Klaxon's, Primal Scream Arctic Monkeys etc. As you can see this label has been doing a fantastic job promoting independent talent and bring them to market there is room for independent success. In my hearts of hearts i think its about time we had some fantastic artists that dont come from the big labels these artists are hear to stay whether they have huge commercial success or not. Thank you XL Recordings for bring us such great artists. Please do go through there current signed artists there is some great stuff there http://www.xlrecordings.com/

Vi Vi Introduces Podcast

Hello and welcome to my Blog Vi Vi introduces. This Blog will be about independent music artists from around the globe from sound cloud and any i have come across over the years i have been a music Fan. This page brings independent music to you. The first phase i am doing is a pod cast radio show that will be available for listeners in the next week or so this pod cast will air on soundcloud.com. The show will include Artists and Bands from sound cloud. I have a fantastic line up for the first show and i aim to make people aware that good music dose not need to come from the major labels, independent artists do it just as well. As an independent artist my self i know how hard it can be to get your music herd that is why i have started this project. I hope that who ever reads this or listens too the pod cast will appreciate the music i have found and respect the amount of time and effort gone into this project and the music it self. Thank You
