I’ve been going a little bit Barry Manilow backing track crazy lately and have produced loads of stuff! As well as the old favourite classic Manilow backing tracks like Can’t smile without you, Copacabana, Mandy, Bermuda triangle, I write the songs and weekend in new England which have been in the catalogue for years, I’ve recently [...]
This song made chart history when it became the first song ever to reach number 1 in the pop charts purely through download sales. It’s been a massive hit for Gnarls Barkley and this backing track we’ve produced has been arranged to keep to the exact same arrangement as the original radio edit version. A female [...]
One by U2 reached number 7 in the UK charts on it’s first release in 1992 but this particular version, still by U2 but with guest vocals by Mary J Blige sees it doing better second time around, reaching number 2 in the UK charts. This particular backing track of one is the Mary J Blige version, not [...]

If you buy backing tracks regularly, you’ll know that prices can vary hugely. Generally, companies who operate illegally or do not pay the proper licences to the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society can offer the lowest prices (so beware). But did you know that large companies like MP3 Backing Trax can be competitive? This is because large [...]
I’m sure by now you know what a backing track is – simply put, it is music that you can sing along to. However things get a bit confusing when you try to decide which type of backing track to buy and use. There are many different formats and it’s important that you choose a [...]
I’m pleased to announce that the MP3 Pro Tracks website has now been launched. It’s a similar type of site to MP3 Backing Trax in as much as it allows you to instantly download your backing tracks, however, most of the tracks on this new site are “without sax” or “without guitar” etc so are aimed at [...]
If you think you’ve heard Paris to Berlin before, it’s probably because it’s the same speed and chord progression as Kylie’s “Can’t get you out of my head”.
