Up, up and away for digital sheet music
Digital sheet music e-retailer Musicnotes.com has hit a landmark: An individual product it carries has become the first to be downloaded more than 20,000 times.
The company, No. 487 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide to Retail Web Sites, has sold more than 20,000 copies of digital sheet music for the song “You Raise Me Up,” written by Brendan Graham and Rolf Lovland and made popular by a performance by Grammy Award-nominated singer Josh Groban.
Sheet music for the song was first made available for download in October 2003. Musicnotes.com now offers the song in more than 30 different downloadable arrangements, the most popular of which is a piano/vocal/guitar arrangement that sells for $4.95 a download.
“We believe the day is coming soon where select songs will sell 100,000 downloads and generate significant incremental royalties for publishers and their songwriters,” says Musicnotes Inc. CEO Kathleen Marsh.
