FOR THE MORE BUSINESS-MINDED
entreleadership.com – Purely business, but amazing insights into how to run and grow a company. Good principles can also be applied to being an artist or being in a band. Genius accompanying book.
digitalmusicnews – News-focussed, but more advice and helpful blogs for artists. Hard to navigate, but check the ‘Featured Story’ section for some great articles on releasing and explaining royalties.

officialcharts.com– UK official chart to keep on top of what’s selling well in the UK market. Good new vinyl chart knocks the edge off the (obviously) strong top 40 genre focus.
