According to a recent article by Michael French over on the mcvuk.com website, the multinational music company has recently signed new publisher Tubby Games to turn its popular music compilations into Nintendo Wii games. The very first dancing and singing title will be released this November, and will join other music video games such as Just Dance, Michael Jackson: The Experience, Just Dance and We Sing.

The 2011 game won’t be the only title in the series either, as EMI – who has apparently been keen to branch into music video games for quite some time – has several Now! games planned. The publisher Tubby Games is led by the team that originally worked on 2004’s PSOne and PS2 dancing hit Dance:UK. Key executives include MD Tracy Johnson, strategic director Neil Meredith and developer Broadsword.

When speaking to MCV about the upcoming title, Neil Meredith said that they have the right license, the right developer and the right tracks. The game itself is being aimed at the Nintendo Wii’s family audience, and will include ten songs each for both singing and dancing. The first game in the series will include recent hits from artists such as Tinie Tempah, Dizzee Rascal, JLS, Rihanna, Example and Jessie J.

The game will also feature 5 bespoke hip-hop dance tracks. Although we know the names of some of the artists included in the first release, we don’t know which of their songs will be included. The latest move from EMI will of course be watched closely by other firms such as Nordic Games and Ubisoft, as their titles (We Sing series and Just Dance series) and spin-offs have redefined Nintendo Wii music games.

MCV research recently showed that more than one million dance-related games are sold worldwide every month. Meredith went on to say that Now! is an evergreen title that will hold in the charts over time. The publisher has had a postitive reaction from retailers already, and has high expectations of the Now! title across Europe and the UK. What are your thoughts on a Now! game being released?

Bloomberg are reporting that Apple has now reached agreements with three big record companies. The deal will allow users to access their song collections from mobile devices via the internet according to sources. The new iTunes service will allow users to put more content onto Apple’s servers and gain access to it via the web, instead of saving the music straight onto the device.

It is thought the service is to be announced at next month’s WWDC event which begins on June 6. Similar services have already been launched by Amazon and Google, but Apple’s service won’t need users to upload online music collections.

Many believe that record labels are looking to cloud services to rejuvenate sales of digital music which have slowed recently. So far Apple has allegedly signed up with EMI Group, Sony Corp, and Universal Music Group. Apple will also need to agree deals with music publishers which have different rights than the labels.

Last month the subscription based music service was reported to have signed a deal with Sony Music, and according to Business Insider only needs two more major signings to be able to compete in the U.S.

Having already signed two of the biggest labels in the world it just leaves, Warner Music Group and Universal Music as major labels left to sign. Spotify would need to sign these as Sony already have a music service in the U.S, Music Unlimited which includes all four of the major record labels and there is also Rhapsody.

As Slashgear reports Spotify has around 750,000 customers currently subscribed and paying and over 10 million using the free trial. Apple’s new fees for subscription and the fact that the U.S charge high royalty fees, means Spotify have a lot of adjusting to do.
