DETROIT, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 09/04/10 -- Without a doubt, the most coveted prize of the Internet-based business world today is the top slot in the social networking category. It's a Royal Rumble of heavy weights like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, all competing for the priceless commodity of Joe Cyber's free time. Now there is a new contender for the social networking crown, and although it's still in the lightweight category, it brings a unique advantage to the table and will revolutionize the social networking world.

Who is this feisty new scrapper with knockout potential? MusicLunge.com.

When it comes to judging whether or not Music Lunge has come up with a suitable solution to the time shortage for the hungry social networker... The people have spoken. A first glance at the Web statistics tracking site, Alexa.com, one would see Music Lunge, a new up-and-coming SN website with a promising ranking in the world-wide-web, reaching almost a million -- a very healthy place to be after a one month old launch and a clear indication that mass-market recognition potential will become a reality in the very near future. These statistics illustrate the time spent per user on personal pages on a daily basis and Music Lunge trumps the competition with an impressive rise that began immediately after they hit the scene in July. Even heavy time-killing sites like Facebook and MySpace fall short of reaching the stats put up by the SN newcomer. The reason behind this incredible growth is the unique products and services Music Lunge provides its subscribers which will launch social networking into its next generational phase.

Music Lunge is a social networking site designed to help Indie and Major artists with business consulting, development, music publishing, radio distribution and song mastering. Music Lunge provides live consultations to their members to help them reach the next level. With Music Lunge, subscribers have the best features of the popular social networking sites, combined into one convenient location. Music Lunge offers the personal page malleability of sites like Facebook or MySpace, allowing members to keep up with friends' status updates and photos. In addition, videos can be uploaded, browsed and searched with a service comparable to that of YouTube, and a Twitter-like micro-blogging feature, are all readily available and easy to use.

What about moving beyond one's immediate network? What if artists really want to get their names out there?

In addition, Music Lunge helps artists move beyond their immediate work and get their names out. Music Lunge will take artists' songs directly to the desks of playlist decision makers for all the major national radio stations (Sirius, College, On Demand, Europe FM, and Internet Stations) with digital distribution capabilities rivaling that of industry powerhouses like Sony, Warner Bros., Atlantic Records, Universal and EMI. Indie artists, producers and record label's content will also be delivered directly to music industry professionals, record labels, satellite services, music services, consultants, media, and film and television. Music executives now have instant inbox access to promotional and pre-release singles, albums, radio shows, artist liners and videos.

With live music business consultations, Music Lunge stands apart with music industry professionals such as George "Pretty Boy Beats" Seals and super lawyer, Howard Hertz. "We offer music live business consulting services to indie artists, independent record labels and musicians at affordable prices. Who better to get consulting from than the industry professionals themselves," said Music Lunge founder Sergio Giles. Music Lunge will be giving ongoing consultations for their members.

George "Pretty Boy Beats" Seals started producing hits at the age of 16 and worked his way up through the trenches on the music industry. He is now one of the most sought after producers in the Southeast. Pretty Boy Beats has worked as Producer, Songwriter, A&R and Executive with companies such as The Drum Majorz, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, Atlantic Records, Warner Brothers, MTV and Clear Channel, and is the founder/CEO of George Seals Music Publishing. George Seals will be doing a Music Business Consulting Conference Call (MBC3), hosted by MusicLunge.com on October 2, 2010, 8pm EDT/5pm PDT. His hour long consultation will be on Tips on Being Successful as an Independent Artist and will answer questions that Indie artists and/or labels may have.
