Nightclubs

    NEW YORK, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest songs from Grammy
 award-winner Alicia Keys and Chris Brown dominated music play in U.S. bars
 and nightclubs in November, according to the first Ecast BarPulse(TM)
 survey, which ranks plays of new music added each month to the Ecast
 broadband media network.
 
     Ecast provides digital music to over 10,000 bars and nightclubs across
 the country. Each week, Ecast adds more than 1,000 tracks to its nationwide
 network. The new survey, to be released on or about the 15th of every
 month, shows the most popular song plays, nationwide, from that month's
 newly added content to the network.
 
     Alicia Keys' debut song "No One" from her critically acclaimed third
 album "As I Am" and hip-hop/R & B crossover superstar Chris Brown's "Kiss
 Kiss" featuring T-Pain from his second album "Exclusive" were the number

     "BarPulse is designed to provide a snapshot of what Americans are
 listening to while they are out in bars and lounges," said Lisa Tiver,
 senior vice president, business affairs Ecast. "Ecast patrons represent a
 coveted demographic -- they are typically the young trendsetters who are
 largely responsible for getting artists up on the charts."
 
     "Overall, hip hop and R&B dominated in November, with new releases from
 Alicia Keys, Chris Brown and Cassidy," said Paul Koehler, label relations
 manager, Ecast. "Another interesting highlight is the long-awaited U.S.
 release of Amy Winehouse's album "Frank" -- although it's not a complete
 surprise considering she was doing well on Ecast even before she broke
 through to mainstream audiences."
