Info on how Juno decide on who is featured and who is not:

The rank is determined by sales strictly speaking, however they take in to consideration other factors, including:

• Review in national/international publication
• Review in well renowned internet magazine/blog
• Remix produced by a big artist (artists rank also based on sales)
• Appears in 3 or more DJ Charts (DJ Charts must be submitted by recognized Artists/DJs)
• Failed searches (when a user searches for a title before its release and the search returns a blank we record this as a failed search, a substantial number of these for the same title could result in a feature)

Because Juno sell both physical and digital releases they have two back end systems that they use to determine sales rank, this is then cross referenced with other data like the output of the label, obviously a label churning out a substantial number of poor releases will still feature quite high in an overall sales rank, due to quantity not quality. It is therefore impossible for me to give you a break down of their top selling labels.

From Juno: We have a substantial amount of demand now for frontpage features and we have had to restrict coverage on the front page to our top 1000 labels. I am more than happy for you to fire over any request and I will determine their feature-ability on a label by label and title by title basis.

• EP spotlights: this is the most effective way of promoting within their store, as the spotlight can be viewed from every page on the site so it attracts more attention. The standard price is $50 for 30,000 views, or $75 for 60,000 views. However, we are always willing to trade free spotlights for specialized promotion, such as a dedicated email blast by the label announcing the content on Stompy, or for Stompy logos and sponsorship on event flyers.


• Label spotlights: Just like above, but the spotlight takes the user to your label profile page, where all releases are listed.

• Charts: As one of the most heavily viewed pages on the site, it helps promote the artists and the label. If anyone would like to participate, simply send a list of 10 tracks from the store along with a picture and we'll sort it out and add it to the Charts section. Please email your charts to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

• Exclusive Pre-Release: For content where they receive the EP exclusively for a period of time, they will offer it at a premium price ($2.99 .mp3/$3.49 wav), give it a free spotlight, and guarantee front page placement.

• Label/Stompy banners for web: Make a label banner that includes the label logo and Stompy logo which links to the releases on Stompy, used for social network sites and advertising

• Artwork dimensions: logo profile image for label pages = 523 pixels wide x 75 pixels high.  Spotlight dimensions = 176 pixels wide X 106 pixels high.  Banner Spec - 176 x 106

www.thumbplay.com offer all kinds of services: a la carte downloads, download subscriptions, streaming subscriptions.
They offer downloads, wallpapers, ringtones.
At the moment they are only live in the US. But plans to expand are on the table.
Thumbplay is especially known for their streaming service ( Subscription fee : 9.99 USD).... as being the US version of Spotify. But they offer more than Spotify does.

They have a blackberry and an Android application. The iPhone  will follow later this year.

Here are some ideas of what they would offer extra coverage on their outlet for:
∙an album release one week before street date
∙an exclusive single
∙exclusive versions of songs recorded specifically for Thumbplay (acoustic or alternate versions)
∙a special Thumbplay recording session w/ the artist (like a Sessions@AOL)
∙exclusive interview tracks
∙contests

. a branding opportunity (Thumbplay placements on stage banners at shows, etc)

• Top 10 charts Trackitdown. Pretty straight forward but this is the 2nd most popular way for their customers to shop on Trackitdown, second only to the ‘Featured Section’ which is where they highlight all the key and best releases. All the artist needs to do is pick 9 live tracks off the site and add the new release that we are promoting to the top. Fire over the list to Jonas @ EPM with a square artist image and we publish it on site. Then, so long as the artist is 'A-List' they use the new release and the chart in our Monday mailout that now goes out to over 150,000, which on the day of release is obviously a massive PR tool! Newsletters look like this... http://www.trackitdown.net/newsletter/2008-11-24/e-flyer.html

• Facebook App: The Trackitdown Facebook application allows you to publish your 'Public Playlist' to your profile and pages as well as post tracks to friends profiles and send tracks as part of Facebook messages.

Get sharing now! http://apps.facebook.com/trackitdown_net/

• Sample Pack section where they sell production samples packages that you make up.  They would also ask the artist to provide an artist ‘Sample Pack’ of around 150 samples from their hard-drive that we could sell for £14.99 alongside the new album.  See a list here of what is available so far: http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/sample_packs/search_A.html

• Label page set up a direct link to your label so the url would be www.trackitdown.net/..................(type in your label name with no gaps, if any). If this doesn't work contact:   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

  · Dimensions: 816x105px with overlay on top
  · Format: Flash or animated gif
  · Linking to either track page or label page
  · Link target should be “_parent” for Flash banners

• Front Page Feature: host a short Q & A with the artist on the front page along with an artist image, linking to the release and to the artist page on Trackitdown driving traffic directly to the product.

• Remix Competition: They like to host remix competition’s as often as possible. They would then sell the parts of the track on the site for around £2.50 in a bundle that would also include the full track. They would discuss a deadline and advertise accordingly and forward any entries to the labels for consideration. As part of this package they would also ask the artist to provide an artist ‘Sample Pack’ of around 150 samples from their hard-drive that we could sell for £14.99 alongside the new album and to drive customers towards the remix competition. The label return on this is £5.70 per unit. We have recently run a competition with Christian Fischer on the back of his ‘Bryzant Games’ album.  Here is a link to the Christian Fischer project as an example : http://www.trackitdown.net/genre/sample_packs/track/727584.html With regards to a prize for the winning entry, the standard deal is that the winning remix gets a release on the hosting label.

• HTML Codes for Myspace: Once you have a release, sample pack or a chart, they can supply the label with HTML codes for both that can be pasted into a Myspace to create a ‘sticker’ that visitors can click on to be directed straight to the release, or the chart, on Trackitdown.   Please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
