• Queen performances and Live Aid are Britain’s favourite music moments
• A third of 16-24-year-olds listen to music on their mobile
• Country and folk music’s popularity rises when a relationship ends

Queen in concert, Live Aid, the first dance at a wedding and even Brotherhood of Man winning the Eurovision song contest all have something in common, while country and folk music become more popular with people when they are splitting up.

A survey of over one thousand one hundred people, released today to support Vodafone UK’s wide mobile music offering, has found that the British public has an eclectic mix of favourite music moments, while their mood or activity impacts the music they listen to.

Queen performances and Live Aid are easily the country’s most memorable musical events, but other artists like Oasis, Nirvana, Robbie Williams and Jimi Hendrix also polled highly.

“We know our customers are passionate about music and we give them a choice of how they can get it on a fantastic range of handsets,” says Tim Yates, Chief Marketing Officer of Vodafone UK. “We have MusicStation that really allows our customers to experiment with and discover music, with unlimited downloads for just £1.99 a week as well as the more traditional 700,000 full track music downloads which can cost as little as 50p each to own, with our Full Track Pack 15 for a £7.50 monthly subscription.”

We’re also a nation of romantics with people loving the music at their wedding while others prefer singing nursery rhymes to their children or hearing their offspring play at school concerts.

"Music is a big part of my life. The first gig I went to was Blondie when I was 16 in September 1978. Nothing had prepared me for the atmosphere and energy at a packed out live gig at Hammersmith Palais. That feeling of excitement has stayed with me ever since and I can say it ignited my passion for music," says Phill Jupitus, Never Mind the Buzzcocks star.

The survey comes at a time when listening to music on mobiles is becoming more popular and Vodafone customers have a wide range of ways in which they can acquire music. Earlier this month, Vodafone UK introduced the MusicStation rental service that allows customers unlimited access to over 1.3 million tracks whenever and wherever they are as well as exclusive handsets suited to music, including the Nokia N95 8GB and the Havana Gold Sony Ericsson W910i. Elsewhere customers buying one of a range of Pay as you talk handsets this Christmas will get 15 tracks from the Vodafone Music Store for free.

Vodafone UK’s survey also revealed that nearly 13% of people access music via their phones, a number that rockets to over 33% amongst 16-24 year olds, with people from Yorkshire, London, the South East and Northern Ireland being the most likely to listen to music this way.

The research also showed that that pop, rock and R&B/soul are the most popular genres for people getting ready for a hot date, with country/folk and hip hop/rap the least, polling only five and four percent of the votes respectively. Splitting up, however, would appear to significantly increase the popularity of country/folk music with over 10% choosing the genre when a relationship comes to an end.

Elsewhere, Vodafone’s survey showed that classical music is the preferred option for people who are working or studying or preparing for a job interview while chart music is top for shopping and traveling.

The survey of 1119 people, carried out by Tickbox.net between November 9 and November 11 2007 also looked at the amount of time people spend listening to music, whether they share music and what drives them to try new music.

По всему миру группа продала 300 млн копий своих альбомов и 180 млн синглов

Музыканты Queen представили публике свою первую новую композицию за последние десять лет. Премьера "Say It's Not True" состоялась 1 декабря - во всемирный день борьбы со СПИДом. Эта дата выбрана не случайно группа - песня стала своеобразным посвящением фронтмену Queen Фредди Меркьюри, который умер от СПИДа в 1991-м году. Композиция Say It's Not True написана барабанщиком Роджером Тейлором в 2003-м году. Вокальную партию в треке исполнил Пол Роджерс, который был приглашен в Queen на роль вокалиста в 2004 году. Выпуском сингла Queen внесут свой вклад во всемирную анти-СПИД кампанию Нельсона Манделы «46664». Все желающие могут ознакомиться с песней совершенно бесплатно - с 1 декабря ее можно скачать на официальном сайте Queen. «Выпустив эту песню бесплатно, мы хотим охватить как можно большую аудиторию, чтобы напомнить людям, что никто не застрахован от этой болезни, - говорит Тейлор. - Мы должны быть бдительными, беречь себя и тех, кого любим. Но при этом нужно помнить, что в наших силах остановить пандемию СПИДа». Также на песню "Say It's Not True" снято видео. Премьерный показ клипа состоится во время концерта «46664» в Йоханнесбурге, посвященного всемирному дню борьбы со СПИДом.
