GristyMcFisty used our news submit to tell us that Coke is it over in Europe. Seems that they are the number one pay for download site in just over 2 months! This is even more amazing considering the iPod bunch is not able to use this service as they don't offer the Apple DRM format.
 Coca-Colas music download site Mycokemusic.com has said it has become Europe's biggest legitimate music site, with 10,000 songs sold every week.The site, which launched in January, said in a statement it had attracted more than 700,000 visitors in the last two months. The site has boasted pre-release access to songs by artists such as Janet Jackson, Aqualung and Placebo. The site said its most popular track was Outkast's Hey Ya!. "The success of the site is down to a consumer desire to download music from a trusted brand at a competitive price," a spokesman said. Drink promotion "The figures from Mycokemusic.com have exceeded our expectations and we are delighted that consumers have adopted legal downloading in such great numbers and with a real enthusiasm," he said. |
Promotion from packs of the Coca Cola's drinks products, has helped create mass awareness of the site and will help bring this service to the attention of millions more downloading consumers. The site also allows people to listen to songs through their computer for as little as 1p a time.
