Wise Buddah Develops Music Show for Official Top 40 Mobile App

July 23, 2012 - PRLog -- London 23 July 2012: Wise Buddah has been commissioned to produce exclusive radio-style content for The Official Top 40 Chart mobile music app.  

The weekly chart “app-cast” will take the form of a five-minute magazine show that will feature a mixture of star interviews, new act profiles, internet gossip and music news.

Presented by Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills the chart app-cast will be made available to users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones that have exclusively downloaded The Official Top 40 Chart App, a new paid-for mobile application that provides unlimited plays of all the tracks in the Official Singles Chart Top 40.

As well as delivering exclusive content to Samsung mobile phone users, the chart app-cast will provide record labels and artists’ agents with a new and targeted way of promoting new and current acts to music fans.

Wise Buddah head of content Simon Willis said: “This app-cast is revolutionary in a number of ways. From a business perspective it's a way of monetising podcasts, for Samsung it's a way of using original content as a sales tool and most importantly it's a new way for audience's to engage with a quality audio product on a mobile device.”

The Official Top 40 Chart App is a joint initiative between the mobile phone manufacturer and The Official Chart Company. Wise Buddah was commissioned to produce the app-cast by mobile music company MusicQubed, the company that built and manages the service.

Social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook will dovetail with the app to promote awareness and generate interest in both the app-cast and the acts that feature on it.

The first Wise Buddah-produced weekly chart app-cast will be made available to Samsung Galaxy users from Monday 23 July 2012 and will feature Labrinth and Daniel Powter
