This article is biased. It sounds as if it was written by the people behind Tip Sheet and should thus be either removed or heavily amended. In partciular the last lines sound straight from a press release: "Another triumph for The Tip Sheet; finding talent; getting talent a deal; breaking great music which had been ignored by the entire industry for 8 years. That's what The Tip Sheet is all about."
removed, please get sources and quote them before putting back in
editremoved because not one source listed, if you have the correct sources for each artist named, please put back in. Thanks The Tip Sheet promoted artists including The Corrs, The Darkness and Eva Cassidy while they were unsigned or unknown, and publicised future hits like Chumbawamba's Tubthumping, Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia from the Cuban Boys and Who Let the Dogs Out? by Baha Men. (Dave006 (talk) 15:54, 7 January 2014 (UTC))
and this, source is dead: Taylor and Scaife first heard of unsigned band The Darkness in a post on The Tip Sheet message board, and featured the song Love Is Only A Feeling in January 2002.[1] They later featured it again in Record of the Day. Its debut album, Permission to Land, went straight to number two in the UK charts on its release on 7 July 2003.(Dave006 (talk) 15:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC))
and this, source is dead as well: In 2005 The Tip Sheet message board and Record of the Day featured the track No Tomorrow by then-unknown band Orson.[1] Within days the band had several offers. Within weeks they signed a publishing deal with Universal Records worth an estimated £300,000 and a label deal with Mercury Records for a million pounds. The single topped the UK chart, as did their first album.(Dave006 (talk) 15:56, 7 January 2014 (UTC))
PLEASE NOTE: a link to your own website aka record of the day is not a verified source, so please dont use that. Neither are claims made by Jonathan King, get propers sources please. (Dave006 (talk) 15:58, 7 January 2014 (UTC))
