So what's the story behind Smashing Pumpkins getting in on RBN?

[Jordanonfire]

Considering if you take away The from TSP it changes the meaning of the name, it kind of makes a difference. :P

[Magnet]

HMX has said many a time that RBN profit splits are identical to normal profit splits for normal DLC,

I'm not really sure what you mean. I haven't seen anything like that. The percentages of what each partner gets in officially-authored DLC sales will vary depending on the artist and record label, which impact licensing details.

This contains many artists either on or previously on EMI. Hopefully they might add Coldplay and The Beastie Boys soon enough!

I obviously don't believe we will see anything from the HUGE Hitters on this list (Beatles, Sabbath, Queen, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones) and I don't expect anything from Nickelback...

But I could see Tubthumping - Chumbawamba

EDIT: Blondie and Billy Idol aren't on the list on the link you sent for some reason...

I have seen it. I never really believed it, but I have seen hmx say it. I figured it was in the ballpark and that's what they meant.

The accuracy and thoroughness of this particular type of list... is not one of Wikipedia's strong points.

Then again, EMI's own list doesn't include them either, so who knows. Maybe they are licensing them indirectly

Blondie and Billy Idol and GenX both had albums released by Chrysalis and...

The Chrysalis Records label was sold to EMI in 1991 and the label was only used for the record releases of Robbie Williams, with catalogue and artists such as Starsailor being shifted to the main EMI imprints. Chrysalis Records folded in 2005.

Hate to get off-topic here, but...

Woah-woah-woah, the Dandys are coming to RB as well? It's about damn time if you don't mind my saying.

Bohemian Like You, Not If You Were the Last Junkie On Earth, and We Used To Be Friends = must haves.

Guess what. Bohemian Like You is the song in playtesting.

[HeyRiles]

All I know is, there are three songs from EMI that I am praying are en route to playtest

LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing at My House
The Vines - Get Free
Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
