Record of the Day's support for new and exciting music really brings results for artists and records. Featuring the best new music is a vital and gratifying part of RotD's role in the industry. We're delighted to report that we have helped a great many artists increase their profile, sign deals and move their careers to the next level. In the last year we have achieved some fantastic results. Here follows a selection of case studies which prove that Record of the Day's support is both a meaningful and highly powerful endorsement.
You can’t simply buy a Record of the Day soundclip placing. Each track we promote is selected by our editorial team: notably Pete Jarrett and music consultant Joe Taylor. Only their ears can influence our music selections.
We look forward to exposing and helping to break many more artists in coming years. Not only do we break new artists, but we give more established artists an important piece of promotion by ensuring that their latest track, and our endorsement, is delivered direct to key media decision makers. For every artist which secures a deal after being featured on RotD, there are also many more who receive rafts of feedback, advice and new contacts.We have the power to make a huge difference.
