According to new figures released by the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry, British music is proving to be particularly successful in Europe just now. Of the eight artists this week awarded the IFPI Europe Award for a million sales across the continent, six were from the UK, and three of them were from debut acts. That means that more than half of the 37 IFPI Europe Awards made this year were presented to UK artists. New acts to reach that landmark include KT Tunstall, Kaiser Chiefs and James Blunt, while established names like Gorillaz, Robbie Williams and Coldplay (not only UK artists, but all signed the UK owned major EMI) are among the big sellers in Europe this year. So well done us. Well... well done you really. Though I'm pretty sure that Coldplay wouldn't have done so well without CMU's unwavering support.
