Business Wire November 11, 1999, Thursday DISTRIBUTION: Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers LENGTH: 493 words HEADLINE: AOL'S Spinner.com to Celebrate 'The Best Of Y1K'; Spinner.com Highlights Top Songs From The 20th Century In Six Different Categories DATELINE: SAN FRANCISCO BODY: Nov. 11, 1999--AOL's Spinner.com, the first and largest broadcaster of original content on the Internet, today announced that Spinner.com will highlight the 100 best songs of the 20th century from six different genres -- rock, pop, jazz, urban, dance and country. These six categories will be represented in Spinner.com's Y1K channels, which debuted in the "What's New" section of the Spinner web site. Over the past few weeks, Spinner's DJs have been faithfully scouring the immense Spinner.com music library -- representing over 300,000 unique music titles -- to compile the six different Y1K channels. Each of the 100 songs selected for each Y1K channel was selected based on a combination of the song's influence, popularity and innovative spirit. Josh Felser, General Manager of Spinner.com said, "We thought that, with all the Y2K ruckus in the air these days, we should spend a little time honoring the first Millennium. After all, the 20th century has made a tremendous and lasting contribution to the world of music. "We hope to recognize this through our Spinner.com Y1K music tribute, which unlike other lists and compilations, allows listeners to hear the music through our 6 new channels in the rock, pop, jazz, urban, dance and country genres." Spinner is the Internet's leading music brand, with 1.7 million unique visitors a month and 120 million impressions a month. Spinner.com users can listen to songs -- over two million played per day -- as well as learn more about the artists, rate their music, purchase their CD and buy and sell music-related merchandise. Felser continued: "Spinner.com offers what traditional radio cannot -- a seamless, simple, satisfying music listening enjoyment. It's all about 120+ channels of music, not about clicking on music sound files or hunting around the Web for something to listen to." About Spinner.com Based in San Francisco, AOL's Spinner.com (www.spinner.com) is the first and largest Internet music service, reaching a larger audience and broadcasting more music than any other Internet-exclusive broadcaster. Spinner.com has revolutionized the traditional radio broadcasting model by delivering more than 300,000 full-length digitized songs within 120+ highly specialized music channels, across all genres, to millions of listeners worldwide. Acquired by America Online, Inc. (NYSE: AOL) in May 1999, Spinner was merged with the Winamp (www.winamp.com) and SHOUTcast (www.shoutcast.com) brands and has became an integral part of AOL's Interactive Properties Group.
