DUBLIN, July 26, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Hitlantis, the worldwide internet music service for independent artists, which has rapidly gained immense popularity, is now the most popular indie music site in Europe.

It is a really great honour to be in the same company as the best operators in the world, says Managing Director Marcus Tilgmann.

The biggest and fastest growing

Hitlantis brings unknown music into the limelight and to the awareness of the general public, in a unique user interface. Musicians and artists that own the rights to their own music can upload their music for free onto Hitlantis.

Already at a young age, the Irish Hitlantis.com has risen to broad international awareness and considerable popularity. Hitlantis' growth has continued all year long. Indeed, it has become Europe's biggest and fastest growing site for bands thirsting for success.

CNBC and CBS: the most innovative music site in the world.

Hitlantis was listed at the start of the year among the most interesting, new and fledgling IT start-up companies in Europe. The American channel giants CNBC and CBS chose Hitlantis, the launcher of a new era, as the world's most innovative music site in its sector.

This music community that is enjoying a period of intense international growth has also been publicised prominently in, among others, Brazil and Poland. Having revolutionized the world of music on the internet, Hitlantis has attracted positive attention in Asia, too.

Who will spring forth next?

Hitlantis launched a new era in internet music services in the autumn, and, already in the winter, one of its first and most popular bands, Embassy of Silence, concluded a recording contract with Swedish company Supernova. The group gained a contract after only a few months on Hitlantis.

We are expecting more recording contracts in the early autumn. The Hitlantis model as a launch pad for bands in the world has really proven its efficacy, says a delighted Tilgmann.
