ALLEN, YORKE AND SKINNER TRIUMPH AT DIGITAL AWARDS

British chart-topper LILY ALLEN and RADIOHEAD frontman THOM YORKE were honoured for their contribution to the digital revolution at the BT Digital Music Awards in London last night (03OCT06). Allen, whose rocketing profile on networking site MySpace helped propel her to stardom, was awarded the Best Pop Artist prize. The kooky songbird had a staggering 40,000 friends on her MySpace page before she had even released her debut single SMILE. MySpace itself also won a gong for best innovation. Yorke was honoured for his promotional campaign for new solo album THE ERASER, and his use of the internet to interact with fans.
