Britney Spears watch out: KPMG & PWC top music charts overseas - Did You Know? - Brief Article

California CPA, July, 2002 by Michael Ueltzen

Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Madonna--step aside. The new kids on the block come from global accounting firms.

Thanks to the Web, corporate jingles have emerged as a cult musical genre in Europe with hundreds of thousands of devoted fans, reports CNN. And the fad soon may be headed our way.

Topping the European charts are KPMG's corporate anthem "Our Vision of Global Strategy," and two songs from PricewaterhouseCoopers, "Your World" and "Downright Global." But keep an eye (or ear) on newly released "We're Gonna Be Number One" from Ernst & Young, which is heading quickly up the charts.

The songs, along with their lyrics, can be downloaded from ZDNet's website, www.zdnet. co.uk/specials/2002/it-anthems.
