An Indie Chart For Indie Music!

There has never been an official indie chart that properly represented indie music. You might find they have some Fat Cat Records band or Asthmatic kitten show up in there but they're generally swamped in main stream marketed indie, bands i dare not even name... so it's about damn time that an effort has been made to kick the big 4 labels out of Indie.


As of today, the first truly official indie charts are being published in the UK. these do not contain any artist on any of the big 4 and more importantly no record lable that is any less than 50% owned by an independent source. we may actually see the first time when the big 4 can't buy themselves into a chart!

The Independents Breakers charts as they are known will rang both singles and albums, and as i said the first charts will be released today. sadly they appear to have a non-existent web presence. which will change i hope after a little while, so do your best to support that newest way to find great indie music, and perhaps finally kill off the major label monopoly
