The real reason Koopa is important

The real reason Koopa is important. You may be aware that, when the Top 40 charts started allowing downloads to be counted as sales, an unsigned band charted for the first time ever. But in order to be eligible for the charts a band still has to be on a label. So how does that work then? Andrew Dubber investigates with some very interesting conclusions – it’s not that they were unsigned that important, more that the charted without signing away their rights. I’d encourage anyone who follows thee pop chartz to read this.
