50% of your purchases will go to college scholarships
Paul Durham from Black Lab recently made the announcement about Bum Rush the Charts that the band will donate a full 50% of all purchases to the college scholarships fund. This is huge news - and very generous of Black Lab. Like any indie band, they need to put food on the table, too, and to be willing to contribute back to the community a full 50% of purchases is incredible.
If you were concerned that Bum Rush the Charts was merely a marketing ploy to help a band get rich quick, let's put those fears to rest. With Paul Durham's announcement, the math for Bum Rush the Charts is very different.
On a 99 cent purchase of an RIAA artist:
- 19 cents goes to Apple
- 75 cents goes to the label
- 5 cents goes to the artist
On a 99 cent purchase of Mine Again on March 22:
- 14 cents goes to Apple
- 5 cents goes to the scholarship fund directly
- 40 cents goes to the band
- 40 cents goes to the scholarship fund via Black Lab's donation
We're happier than ever and more sure than ever that Black Lab was the right choice for Bum Rush the Charts, and we hope that you'll be more eager than ever to support this movement. Spread the word - Bum Rush the Charts on March 22!
UPDATE:
Here's a message from Paul Durham of Black Lab!

Create your own promo for BRTC
I've been talking about it on my show, The UC Radio Podshow, but I figured I'd throw it out there for those of you checking out the blog.
If you send a promo that you make to ucradio@gmail.com I'll play it on my show and send you a sticker and a shirt from the show. No questions asked, no rules or regulations. Say what you want and feel and I'll put it into the show.
Thanks for listening and taking part in Bum Rush The Charts
