Music Goes On - News - Moby Goes Five Times Platinum

I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Moby Goes Five Times Platinum
5 December 2000 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Moby's Play has reached five times platinum sales, over one and a half million copies sold in the UK and five million worldwide.

Moby will be playing two live shows at the end of December, on the 29th at Dublin Point and on New Year's Eve (31st) at Edinburgh Castle. Moby has just completed a tour of the UK which included a sell-out concert at Wembley Arena in November.
