Does this mean he's the most Hooliganized comedy artist?

Those cheap bastards.

I wonder if that counts all of the "Wired Al" Yonkavickacheizzy artists out there whose songs are wrong called Al's all the time.

Um... guys...

Napster is just another music store like iTunes or eMusic. Weird Al Yonkavickacheizzy songs can't be found on it.

Oh. Sorry. I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know, Jace.

Yeah, guys. People pay for Napster.

he Napster Awards are determined by the actual listening behavior of music fans who subscribe to Napster's industry-leading subscription service and play over one billion songs each year.

It's a subscription service. At any rate, it's very cool that Al is being recognized for the amazing impact of his songs in the world of digital music. SOL has been more popular on the Internet than anywhere else.

So, does AL get paid? That's all I care about.

Um, yeah...

iTunes isn't the only paid music downloading service, yall'z.
Napster
eMusic
MSN Music
MusicMatch
MusicNet
Rhapsody
Sony Connect

And I guarantee you that Al is probably on all of those, along with just about every other artist who's on a major label.

It's been a while since I bought anything from eMusic, but when I did they did not have any Al. In fact, eMusic almost exclusively carries artists on small labels.
