THE MATCHBOX LISTENERS POLL 2004 RESULTS ARE BELOW. 

The Year is nearly at an end and what a year it has been.
 
* We've had 3 artists ( Gordon Rankin, The Treliks and Frogland ) chart on the official worldwide Internet Radio sideload charts next to bands like REM, Radiohead and The Prodigy.
 
* We've had one band ( The Treliks ) reach the 100 position in the official U.K chart.
 
* We've had over 100.000 people listening to our Radio station www.matchboxradio24.com  and nearly over 6 million music loving punters visiting our website on a regular basis.
 
* We also became the only official U.K agent to the world's largest Internet Radio network supplying new releases to over 5000 Radio stations and recording and broadcasting audio adverts to over 3 million +  listeners.
 
Some of the best new artists and bands from all over the world have been featured on our compilations and were aired on thousands of global Radio stations. 2004 has proved to be a huge stepping stone for Matchbox and our artists and 2005 is already set to be our biggest year yet. Hell, we even had a few replica Matchbox labels and companies spring up trying to copy us ( but doing a terrible and shark like job - Ed  ). I suppose imitation is flattery at the end of the day but there is no substitute.
 
Accept nothing but the real thing.

Happy Xmas and New year - Dale Olivier ( Matchbox owner, DJ, artist and all round handyman)
