FRANKLIN, TN. (Top 40 Charts/ PassAlong Networks) - Music distribution developer PassAlong Networks today launched a series of co-branded OnTour widgets featuring several major RCA Music Group artists including Alicia Keys, Cassidy, Mario and Scary Kids, Scaring Kids.

"We are excited to partner with RCA to offer fans OnTour widgets showcasing some of their favorite artists," said Dave Jaworski, co-founder and CEO of PassAlong Networks. "With upcoming tours, we plan to announce new widgets featuring even more artists in the near future."

The co-branded widgets will be featured on the artists' websites and profiles and will load their tour information, discography with MP3 sample player and RSS news items.

"The OnTour co-branded widgets give fans the opportunity to promote their favorite artists on websites across the Web," said Chris Boghigian of RCA Music Group. "This is a fantastic tool that allows fans to connect with some of our most prominent artists on a unique and personal level."
