Bennett Law Office, PC/Tamera H. Bennett ASCAP updated their annual list of the most popular ASCAP writer/publisher controlled holiday songs of the last 10 years. I guess I am getting old when I was surprised that Josh Groban's version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" had more airplay than The Eagles' version. I really thought "Mary Did You Know" would make... the list. What a wonderful song written by Buddy Greene and Mark Lowry that according to AllMusic has been recorded and released on 395 separate projects in the last 10 years.

The Music Business Lacks A Mass-Market Strategy: This article from Paid Content suggest a new form of hardware should be developed to replace the CD Player for the in-home music experience. Interesting read.
I agree that not everyone is looking online to purchase music, but I disagree with the recommendations regard...ing a new physical format. There will always be new formats, but I don't see the industry moving to a new physical hardware format to replace the CD anytime soon.

Do you think ad-supported digital downloads will become a viable business model for the music industry?

Cracker
Barrel and Country artist Alan Jackson have teamed up to combat the
decline in record sales. Cracker Barrel just released an exclusive
Jackson CD and developed a full line of Jackson branded merchandise.
Both are sold in stores and online.
I am also excited that Cracker Barrel is reaching out to new artists with th...eir custom CD's. A deal was just inked with "The Zac Brown Band" for a CD and merch.
The records are not available for digital download from Cracker Barrel. Is that in the works? We will have to wait and see.
The Nashville Post reported, "Since 2003, Cracker Barrel has built its record label into a $50 million business that delivers music – some of it previously unreleased – from family-friendly artists that resonate with its core dining audience."
