Musicnotes.com Adds One-Millionth Customer, Sells Three-Millionth Download

Our latest news release....

MADISON, WI - November 6, 2007 - Musicnotes.com, the online leader in downloadable sheet music and guitar tablature, announced today it surpassed the one million customer mark in early September and also sold its three-millionth download on October 26.

Download number three million was the song "Thankful" performed by Josh Groban from his new holiday CD 'Noel.' The song "Thankful" is written by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager and Richard Page and is published by leading independent music publisher, peermusic. Sheet music for the song is currently available exclusively at Musicnotes.com.

Peggy Blair, upon learning she was the purchaser of the three millionth download stated, "I've been able to locate the words and music for songs requested for weddings for which I'm asked to play piano. I'm also the pianist for a small church and occasionally someone will ask for a certain song I may not have in my library. It's very nice to be able to locate these songs without having to run from one store to the next, especially with the gas prices so high. Thank you for providing this service!"

Now entering the busiest part of its season, Musicnotes.com sold over 100,000 downloads in October alone and expects to do so in November and December as well. The site sold its first digital download in late 1999.

"Musicnotes.com continues to focus on the customer experience in helping site visitors find and learn to play the world's great songs" said Musicnotes CEO Kathleen Marsh. "We believe this approach serves everyone well, including our publishing and songwriting partners to whom we will have paid over $6 million in royalties through 2007."
