Christmas Music Begins Playing In Stores
In 30 Days!!!
You read that right! If you have a holiday release that you'd like to get played overhead in retailers this season, then the time is NOW to sign up for the 9th Annual What's In-Store Music Holiday Program. The first note of Christmas music will be heard playing overhead on November 1st and it only grows from there. over the years major artists and indies have taken advantage of this unique opportunity. Not only do we get your song played thousands of times during the busiest shopping season of the year, but our weekly holiday newsletter is also sent to all Mediabase radio stations reporting holiday music. Over the years we've had more than one programmer discover a new holiday favorite from the program.
We accept, classics, covers, and original arrangements. As a matter of fact, in the past, it has been the original selections that have shined through and risen to the top. Past participants in the program include The Eagles, Smokey Robinson, The Pretenders, Goo Goo Dolls, Miley Cyrus, SIA, Dolly Parton, TRAIN, Alanis, and tons more. Programmers are already well into curating their playlists, all we need to do now is add the new music coming in for the first time to the program. If you want to ensure your song is loaded and ready to go on day one, you will want to get it to us in the next two weeks. Of course, we can accept songs well into the season, so if your release comes out later, don't worry, we can still accommodate you. Use the blue button to look at our holiday deck, then, use the red button to upload your song today.

David Kushner
"Darkerside"
On August 30th, multi-platinum singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist David Kushner released his epic, autobiographical, 17-song full-length debut, The Dichotomy, via Miserable Music Group. The project tells the story of his own spiritual, philosophical, and ultimately musical odyssey. The album takes us on a journey from alienation, despair, and sin to a tentative acceptance of faith while acknowledging that gnawing doubt will always exist. Kushner's basso profundo vocals outline a life in darkness, while a soaring falsetto offers glimpses of the
divine light which continually beckons him. Like its title, it is a study in opposites-God and Satan, light and darkness, good and evil, righteousness and sin, physical and spiritual, pleasure and pain-a meditation on mortality, internal conflict, and the desire for awakening through revelation and transcendence.
Today's Behind The Song focuses on his latest single from the project, "Darkside".
The track finds Kushner asking a higher power to help guide him as part of The Dichotomy's final section tracing his redemption. "The music is about my faith," explained Kushner, "but it's also about my various experiences, dealing in the human condition and finding personal meaning that applies to everyone."
