British punks hit the charts over the Internet
The thirty-first place in the British music charts was taken by the punk band Koopa , which had never released a single CD in its life and had not played at any concert. Her single "Blag, Steal & Borrow" became known exclusively thanks to the Internet.
The success of the group, according to Reuters , is due to the fact that they managed to find a new means of interacting with the audience, while the “old-timers from music” and their patrons - large record labels - are struggling to protect their works from illegal copying.
The Koopa team was not the first: previously, the Arctic Monkeys group achieved fame thanks to the Internet and only then entered into a contract with a record company.
