Hello dear colleagues, partners and friends!
Summer is a traditional time of vacation – the vacation for everyone, except for us. Artists actively perform on tours, radio stations and TV-channels prepare for the next season.
For www.tophit.ru team it’s a kind of a slow-down - an excellent chance to glance back, clear off and think over further areas, in which we’re going to develop the project.
In the near month we hope to finish preparation period and jointly with our partners and colleagues on Muz TV channel launch Top Hit Chart program. We prepare an audio version of this chart as well. Our main goal is rather simple –to familiarize in the frames of the program millions of televiewers and radio listeners with Top Hit 20 of most frequently rotated hits with help of our friends on TV and radio stations-partners, mostly from regions of Russia, Ukraine and the CIS countries.
This summer we’ve started collaboration with several Internet-projects on search for new, talented artists. It first of all concerns www.realmusic.ru, the producing team of which prepared compositions of several new original artists for distribution to radio through our portal. In the near future it’ll be turn of collaboration with the project ‘Zvezda.Vkontakte’ that’ll be soon described in detail.
Summer is a good time period for search after new partners. It concerns conclusion of long-term contracts with producing centers and record-companies as well as active work with radio stations.
We keep a close watch on the regional air situation. Broadcasting towns of prominent radio networks changes, some radio stations suspend their work, the other ones appear. This summer we’ll slightly broaden the list of our colleagues, adding town radio stations, which produce own musical content and broadcast in big cities and densely-populated regions.
On the other hand, we’re planning to cease collaboration with those broadcasters, who can hardly adhere to our work rules. Those radio stations, managers of which don’t send reports on time or figures in them do not correspond to real air situation, can appear in “high-risk group”. We closely watch over the fact whether our radio forms adequately reflect the data about names and broadcast regions of the radio stations, contacts and, surely, reports on tracks rotation.
We’ll also analyze properly the situation on local radio stations that broadcast programs of the head broadcasters. Until September, 1 we plan to suspend collaboration with a number of partners, having limited the quantity of radio stations in our database to 400.
Some limits will be also set on the possibility of testing radio singles on www.tophit.ru. Those music editors, the marks of which differ constantly and cardinally from the average marks of new tracks, will be temporally disabled of testing new tracks.
We’d remind you, dear colleagues, that in case questions on collaboration of your radio station or TV-channel with our portal arise, you should contact manager Irina Peskova. Her contacts are present on the web-site homepage, and she’s constantly accessible in work time.
The last thing left, to be mentioned, is that we continue working in a usual regime. Every working day new tracks and musical videos appear on www.tophit.ru. While moving forward, we do not forget about our current duties in concerns to all our partners. So, stay with us!
Igor Kraev, TOPHIT.RU project head.
