Sony/BMG has introduced it's latest solution to the onrise falling of music sales. It's called a Ringle, and yes it's a different type of "jingle". According to reuters,
"Each ringle is expected to contain three songs -- one hit and maybe one remix and an older track -- and one ringtone, on a CD with a slip-sleeve cover. The idea is that if consumers in the digital age can download any tracks they want individually, why not let them buy singles in the store as well? It also enables stores to get involved in the ringtone phenomenon."
They will release 50 titles during October and November, while UMG will have anywhere from 10 to 20 titles ready
Arista Nashville will release Carrie's "Before He Cheats" as its first ringle. The cd will feature "Before He Cheats", "I Ain't In Checotah Anymore" from Some Hearts, and an exclusive live version of "Cheats" from the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party where Carrie performed in February of this year.
