WorldSings Launches Million Dollar Competition to Find World's Best Song Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:31pm EDT

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, Mar 20 (MARKET WIRE) -- WorldSings (www.worldsings.com) unveiled a new social site for music discovery and kicked off the official start to its first annual World's Best Song competition with $1,000,0000 in prizes. The new site brings together artists and music fans from around the world in a rich social network that promotes self-expression, social interaction, music discovery and sharing.

The World's Best Song competition is open to any musician or band performing original music. In line with the site's community-centric philosophy, WorldSings members vote for their favorite songs. The top 20 vote getters are sent to Las Vegas to compete before a live audience at the WorldSings concert, which will be held at Planet Hollywood on March 19, 2010. Competition prizes total $1,000,000, with the winner taking home $500,000 -- along with the title of The World's Best Song.

Along with the chance to compete at Planet Hollywood, WorldSings gives emerging and established artists the opportunity to reach new audiences on a global stage. Artists can upload their music or videos, create a profile page, and list their concert or live events. Artists are also able to grow and encourage their fan base by networking with fans and other promotional grassroots marketing -- like posting messages on their wall, and directly interacting with fans via messages, posts, or live chat.

In addition, artists can see the key demographic data (age, gender, location) behind each vote -- offering unique visibility into who is enjoying their music.

For music fans, WorldSings offers the opportunity to learn, share, and discover new music. Members can become friends with fellow music lovers regardless of geographic boundaries and get to know favorite artists on a more personal level than would otherwise be possible. And throughout the year, members can win prizes, including a trip to Las Vegas to hear the top artists perform live at the WorldSings concert.

Detailed rules for the competition can be found on the WorldSings website. Artists and music lovers can sign up today and join the global movement to crown the first world's best song.
