Germany 1 (biggest selling music CD)*
Switzerland 1
Norway 2
UK 3
Poland 3
France 4
Austria 6
Denmark 6
Ireland 6

* a note from Mike Batt: "A crazy new rule introduced by the German chart compilers has allowed a comedy DVD with no music content, by Mario Barth, to draw attention from the fact that Katie Melua's new album 'Pictures' has shot into the number 1 position of all music CDs this week. Melua's album is listed as 'number 2' whereas it is the biggest selling CD in the country."

Katie Melua talks about the 'split' with Mike Batt

'Mike and I are not 'splitting up' - this story has been blown out of all proportion!! When Mike and I started working together I was fresh out of school and he had been songwriting for 40 years. We always had a plan that as time went on, and I learnt more and more, Mike would take more of a back seat with regards to the writing and producing and I would be writing more on my own, or with other songwriters. I wrote with two other writers on the new album, Pictures, which was a new experience for me but one which was enjoyable and successful I believe. Both Mike and I feel that as and when I start work on the next album Mike's involvement will be as my manager and the executive producer, rather than hands on in the studio and writing the songs. Mike has dedicated the last 4 years to my career and I'm sure he has other stuff that he wants to do that is nothing to do with me!

Mike is my manager and chairman of Dramatico, the record company that I am signed to. We have a very strong working relationship, one that I am proud of and one that allows me to develop as an artist in my own time and in my own way.

Reacting to claims that Katie said that collaborations with Mike on her first album were crap Katie says:

'What I actually said was that I have been learning all the time, that when I first started writing I would think a song I'd written was great and I'd hope that it would be on the album, but that in hindsight it was crap and I am glad that I listened to people around me. Those 'crap' songs never saw the light of day, thank God!'

Katie on Radio Times cover!

Katie Melua is one of a selection of Live Earth artists featured on special editions of this week's UK Radio Times magazine. She is interviewed about the event inside, here's an excerpt:

How important is Live Earth to you?

'I really don't want it to be about playing some gig; it's mainly about what happens after. I love how musicians have the power to influence so many, not only our generation but the next generation as well, who'll continue looking after the planet.'

Written any 'green' songs recently?

'The thing is, I don't want to sound like a preacher. But I might be inspired to write something that's more influenced by the love of nature, like about a forest or the sea. What I find frustrating is how the campaign [against global warming] is motivated by fear; that the world's going to end if we don't act, whereas I think we should be acting on our appreciation of this incredible planet.'

The Live Earth concerts take place on 7th July; Katie is appearing at the Hamburg event. Stage times are still to be announced, watch this space!

There's a short film about the photo shoot here.

Katie Joins Hearing Loss Warning Campaign

Katie Melua is supporting The Royal National Institute for the Deaf's 'Don't Lose the Music' campaign, which is warning that loud music in pubs and clubs is leading to a hearing loss "time bomb". The RNID found that the hearing of about 70% of people who visited nightclubs was affected. The study also found loud music damaged the ears of nearly 50% of pub goers.

Delia Henry, director of RNID Scotland, said it was time for action. "We're all familiar with messages about practising safe sex and using sun cream - but the lack of any guidance on loud music means this generation of music lovers could be facing a hearing loss time bomb.

"Our research shows most young people have experienced the first signs of permanent hearing damage after a night out, yet have no idea how to prevent it.

"With regular exposure to music at high volumes in clubs, gigs and bars, it's only too easy to clock up noise doses that could damage their hearing forever."

Multi-platinum Melua Heads Impala Honors

(from Billboard.biz)

U.K.-based singer-songwriter Katie Melua's sophomore album "Piece By Piece" album leads off a new batch of European sales awards from Brussels-based pan-European independent labels body Impala.

"Piece by Piece," released September 2005 on U.K. indie Dramatico, has scored a "multi-platinum" award recognizing shipments across Europe in excess of 3.5 million units. It heads a list of more than 30 awards covering the last six months.

Impala inaugurated the awards late last year (Billboard.biz November 15, 2006) to recognise independent trade shipments, including download sales, across Europe. Labels nominate recordings to Impala, promising to supply the body with independently verifiable physical shipments data on request.

In a statement, Katie Melua stated: "I've always been happy that my music is released on an independent label, and to have Impala recognise our work is truly thrilling."

Alison Wenham, chairman and chief executive of the Association of Independent Music (AIM) added: "The Impala Awards are to recognise, and to thank, the artists and the record companies who produce such great music. They help spread the word across Europe, and promote the grass roots of the indie sector as well as the international stars independent companies regularly produce."

Katie Melua signs her 10 foot Gibson Les Paul for Gibson Guitartown

Katie Melua took time out to sign her 10 foot Gibson Les Paul replica guitar for Gibson Guitartown London. The guitar titled 'Guitar Man' was hand painted by community visual artist Alex Machin (pictured) who also joined Katie to sign the guitar.

Katie Melua said 'I love the design of my guitar and hope that it will raise a lot of money for The Princes Trust, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and Teenage Cancer Trust.'

The 10 foot fiber glass free standing guitar will form part of the Gibson Guitartown London charity campaign and be displayed publicly at More London by Tower Bridge, London SE1 from June 25th for ten weeks. Following the display, Katie Melua's signed Les Paul guitar will be auctioned off to raise money for The Prince's Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy at an event in October.

Recording Update

The recording of Katie's forthcoming third album continues apace…

Brass sections have been recorded at Dramatico's studios and this week saw the recording entourage travel to Dublin where The Irish Film Orchestra (used on both previous albums) added strings to six tracks.

The recording has also yielded an as-yet unnamed Prince cover version, which may or may not make it onto the album. The Minneapolis Maestro has performed 'Nine Million Bicycles' several times on stage, and is a huge fan.

Mike Batt: 'He invited us to his 'secret' London gig last month at Koko in Camden, so we thought we'd return the compliment. We also met him the next day when he invited us to a private charity gig he was doing. He seemed very nice. I've had this Prince song kicking about in my head for years; not one of his better known ones."

The album is currently still on schedule for a September release. There's no word on a title or any other song details yet, but a new photo session for the sleeve and press shots has been scheduled, so things are motoring along in the background…!

Concert Under The Sea - The Documentary Film

Dramatico is pround to announce the release of a new DVD on May 28th 2007.

Katie Melua: Concert Under The Sea - The Documentary Film was shot in and off the coast of Norway, and tells the story of Katie setting the Guinness World Record for the deepest underwater concert ever performed, 303 metres below the sea. Invited by Statoil, the gas drilling company, to celebrate their 10th anniversary on the biggest man-made structure ever moved on Earth, Katie (after checking their environmental record) agreed to perform on the North Sea floor at the foot of a leg of the enormous drilling platform.

The story of Katie and her band¹s rigorous safety training, and the realisation of the dream of the gas platform manager who conceived the whole crazy idea, is the subject of this fascinating film. Towards the end of the film we witness some of the concert itself.

Extras:

Katie: The Next Steps (30 minutes) - A Documentary Style View of Katie on Tour

Additional to the film of Katie's undersea concert is a new interview describing the adventure, and containing previously unreleased footage of her on tour and from her daily life.
