FAQ
Preferred Tracks Demystified
When you are uploading tracks into the 2009 Jukebox at jukebox.rpmchallenge.com, you may specify one track as being "preferred." What does that mean, you may ask?

How can I help?
A few of you have asked what you can do to help--and the answer is, quite a lot. We really want the whole world to know about RPM--we want to let as many bands as possible know about signing up, and then we want to let as many civilians as possible know to come and read about your progress, and then listen to your music.

What is the RPM Jukebox?

An online music player fully loaded with all 850-plus completed RPM albums—more than 8,000 songs! All of the 2008 completed albums may be put up in the jukebox on the website, if you so choose, so people can check it out; conversely, if you'd rather not share your work with the public, then no one needs to hear it but us.

Who owns the rights?

You do. Your music is your own, to do with as you please. Artists retain all rights to their music, we ask only to be able to put the finished music up in the RPM Jukebox to stream so that everyone can enjoy it.

 
What's the challenge?
Record an album in February 2009 that's 10 songs or 35 minutes long
  • Recording can only be done in the month of February – no prerecorded songs.
  • All material must be previously unreleased, and we encourage you to write the material during February too.
Read all about it here.
 
Prizes
One million dollars... No, not really. No prizes.
 
It's not too late to sign up!

Dang! I just found out about the RPM Challenge, but it's after February 1 - I bet it's too late to sign up?

No, no, of course it isn't! So you've lost a couple of minutes, a handful of hours, a few days, that's no reason not to come on board. There's still the better part of February in front of you, plenty of time to write and record one album. In fact, just think of it as a slightly tougher challenge and you'll have that much more to be proud of when you've got 10 new songs under your belt at the end of the month.

Remember, there's only one deadline for the RPM Challenge, that's March 1 - the day your album must be postmarked and mailed to the RPM Headquarters.

Clock is ticking so don't waste another minute, ok?  To register, click here.
