New York -- Fuse, a cable TV music network operated by Rainbow Media Holdings, announced on Monday that it is doing away with its daily music video countdown show and replacing it with one that measures the daily most downloaded songs from legal Internet services. The show's data on the daily most-downloaded songs will be culled from sources including iTunes, BuyMusic.com and SoundScan. "The Daily Download" will also offer free legal downloads of songs of videos aired during the show, provided by Blue Mountain and Tower Records, in addition to ringtones and other content. The show, which launched on Monday, will in debut episodes feature interviews and live performances from artists including Metallica, The Streets, The Darkness and Jet.
