What is Chartsong?
The idea behind Chartsong is simple – to find the best new artists, develop them and deliver them direct to contacts at record labels. We look for potential, not pizzazz. We try to hear the talent behind badly recorded demos (something record labels no longer do) then give the artist the opportunity to finally record something that represents their best.
Chartsong forms a bridge between artists and A&R (record company talent scouts). Record execs get too many demos and not enough time to listen to them. Chartsong helps by listening to around stacks of demos every month, and selecting only the best for development, recording and promotion.
Once selected, Chartsong puts the artist in the studio with Stuart Stuart. Stuart works with them on their songs, and helps them choose their best for recording. This CD is then promoted direct to record label and management contacts that we’ve established over the course of 6 years.
In the past 2 years, we’ve helped 6 artists record label deals (most have releases pending, four acts have had top 40 hits so far). This is not to mention the artists that have been offered deals by labels, publishers and managers, but have decided to hold off for one reason or another. There are times when the deal doesn't suit the artist. We’ve had around 10 of those. Check out the Success Stories page for more info on that side of what we do.
Our artists have had dealings with Warner, Sony, EMI, Mushroom, Universal, Engineroom, Eargasm, Random Records/Sony, 301 Records, Roadshow, Alberts, Collision/MRA and many radio stations and managers. In some cases, these companies have released Chartsong product. Other times, they’ve asked to meet the artist or for more material.
In short, Chartsong has quickly become an important source of new talent for record labels. We act as a filter, and developer of new talent for record companies.
