WWE(R)'s WrestleMania(R) Rocks Music Sales

STAMFORD, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
World Wrestling Entertainment's(R) WrestleMania XXIV pay-per-view
used music to rock the Florida Citrus Bowl, and at the same time
helped rock the charts for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Legend,
Fuel and Rev Theory.

WWE Superstars making their colorful entrances on television and
pay-per-view queued by audience-energizing theme songs can provide big
dividends for musical performers. Fuel's "Leave the Memories Alone"
was the theme song for wrestling legend Ric Flair(R) at WrestleMania
XXIV and the following night's Monday Night RAW(R) on USA Network. The
exposure led to the song experiencing a skyrocketing 999% increase
last week, and a 409% increase this week, according to Nielsen
SoundScan. Fuel is thrilled with reaction to the song. "I think it's
fantastic. It shows how genuinely passionate WWE fans are about their
wrestling and their music. When you write a piece of music that was
very passionate to you, it's nice to see people respond in the same
manner, and that's what's happening here," said Carl Bell, guitarist.

After serving as one of WrestleMania XXIV's theme songs, the Red
Hot Chili Peppers' single "Snow (Hey Oh)", and album "Stadium
Arcadium" saw an increase in sales. John Legend's album "Live From
Philadelphia" also saw a sales increase following his live performance
of "America the Beautiful" at WrestleMania.

Rev Theory's "Light It Up" also served as a theme song for this
year's WrestleMania event and had their sales increase 999% as well.
Rev Theory performed during the final leg of WWE's Fan Axxess Tour in
Orlando in front of 20,000 people. They were so impressed with its
reception, the band invited WWE Diva and fan Ashley Massaro(TM) to Los
Angeles last week to star in their new video, "Hell Yeah".

"This is yet another great example of the many levels of exposure
WWE generates for performers. The music partnerships that we have are
ever increasing and our commitment to create global awareness for
music acts today is as relevant as ever; especially with the state of
the music business," Neil Lawi, General Manager WWE Music Group.
"Bands that record theme songs for WWE promotional use are
establishing themselves as pop culture icons by gaining coveted
exposure to millions of fans worldwide while continuing to rock the
sales charts."
