I have recently launched a website to invite the public to vote for their Top 5 albums (films and books) in an evolving poll to find the Greatest Albums etc of all time – www.pollthepeople.com . The site was borne out of frustration at the number of TV and press polls based on very little research or a very limited number of votes. So now I want to give the people a chance to have their say and vote for their favourite albums (films and books) to create a truly definitive global poll. I was previously the Head of Digital @ Island Records UK for 6 years and left my role to focus on this venture.
Please could you put a news story up on your Site to let fans of Classical Music know about the site so they can vote and have their say ? We have had over 4,200 people sign up and vote in the first month and we are already working on a TV show format and a “Poll The People top rated” retail sticker initiative. In addition we have had features in The Times and The Guardian as well as trade press so we have had a great start. The early visitors to the site have been very pop biased and it’s important to us that we reach out to fans of all music genres so the poll becomes truly definitive.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know ?
