THE IRISH AND CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST HITS #1 ON THE MOST POPULAR MUSIC PODCASTS AT iTUNES
AUSTIN, TX (February 12, 2007) – Let's face it, everybody likes to be #1. For the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast (http://celticmusicpodcast.com/) that chance came this week when they reached the top spot on iTunes list of music podcasts. Not only did they top the music podcast chart, they also ranked 14th of all podcasts in the world since iTunes is the #1 distributor of podcasts. The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is a free, bi-monthly, downloadable radio show of independent Irish & Celtic music. It features Irish drinking songs, Scottish folk songs, bagpipes, music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales, Nova Scotia, Galicia, Australia, the United States, and around the world.
Two exciting podcasts are slated to be released by the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast this March. The first is a St. Patrick's Day podcast, featuring perennial Celtic music favorites as well as historical tidbits and other St. Paddy's Day fun. Also coming in March is a podcast which will announce the Celtic Music Award winners for 2006 and feature music from the winners. Selections are made by popular vote and are hosted by Celtic MP3s Music Magazine (http://www.celticmp3s.com). The awards honor the most popular online Celtic music groups and individuals. Both podcasts are sure to be among the best of the coming year.
With the increasing popularity of iTunes, a more diverse crowd of listeners is clearly seeking out their music choices from iTunes vast catalog of downloads. The popularity of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is clear evidence of this ever-widening circle. Listeners are encouraged to vote for their favorite songs and submit suggestions for podcasts they would like to hear. The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast also has a page on my Myspace.com (http://myspace.com/irishcelticmusicpodcast) where information about recent and upcoming podcasts can also be found.
