\>>> Think the music fans in the UK are so damn hip? **The Eagles and Britney Spears have grabbed #1 and #2 on the British charts**. ([BBC](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7077856.stm?ref=hypebot.com))

\>>> "**OiNK’s new piglets** proof positive that Big Content’s efforts often backfire." ([ars](http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071105-oinks-new-piglets-proof-positive-that-big-contents-efforts-often-backfire.html?ref=hypebot.com))*The title says it all. Read our [story yesterday](http://hypebot.typepad.com/hypebot/http://hypebot.typepad.com/hypebot/?ref=hypebot.com) on the growing reach of PirateBay.*

\>>> Another study shows **no connection between file sharing and CD sales**. ([Billboard](http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content%5Fdisplay/industry/e3iefdf9c6b642b692da8542cd083ec5a3a?ref=hypebot.com)) This one’s by the Canadian government.

\>>> A comscore report says **the bulk of Radiohead fans grabbed their latest CD free**. ([cNet](http://www.news.com/8301-10784%5F3-9811013-7.html?tag=nefd.pulse&ref=hypebot.com)) *But read the fine print. The band still made money and I think by the time all sales are counted a year from now, its more money then they would have made with EMI.* But none of this has stopped EMI from trying to capitalize on the PR with **an aggressive catalog release campaign including all things Radiohead on a USB drive for $160**. ([Wired](http://blog.wired.com/music/2007/11/emi-sells-radio.html?ref=hypebot.com))  
  
*\>*\>> I stumbled across **Columbia and RCA accepting demos and publically discussing submissions on a group of Voxx blogs**. ([here](http://ar.sony.vox.com/members/?ref=hypebot.com))

\>>> NPR has launched its **new expanded [NPR Music](http://www.npr.org/nprmusic/index.html?ref=hypebot.com)** site and custom player. ([press release](http://www.npr.org/about/press/2007/110507.music.html?ref=hypebot.com))

\>>> **PassAlong** Networks has bolstered their **MP3 Catalog with Sub Pop, Epitaph, Saddle Creek and Downtown Records.** ([press release](http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/48736384%5Fmusic%5Fpassalong%5Fnetworks%5Fbolsters%5Fmp3%5Fcatalog%5Fcontent%5Fsub%5Fpop%5Fepitaph%5Fsaddle%5Fcreek%5Fand%5Fdown?ref=hypebot.com))
