Bob Geldof, Madonna and Robbie Williams' antics at Live 8 helped the BBC to record the highest ever levels of visits to a BBC radio and music website.

A record number of 14.6m page impressions were made on the BBC's Live 8 site over a three-day period around the July 2 global event, broadcast live by the corporation on television and radio.

The Live 8 mobile phone website generated 112,000 page impressions over the same three days, with people accessing the BBC's internet site through wireless technology.

And the lure of tapping in to the Glastonbury festival from the comfort of a computer rather than wading through the Somerset mud also proved irresistible with 13.4m page impressions made across the fortnight during which the three-day festival was held.

Three times as many people than last year logged on to the BBC's Glastonbury coverage, which spanned five websites - Radio 1, 6 Music, BBC Somerset, BBC3 and bbc.co.uk/music.

And sport as well as music is proving an online turn-on for the BBC, with digital station Five Live Sports Extra's commentary on Wimbledon and the NatWest One Day Series contributed 295,000 hours of live online listening for the network during June - its largest monthly listening total for nine months.

The Archers remains the most requested programme through the BBC's online "listen again" service, with almost 400,000 requests.

Radio 1ís motormouth breakfast DJ, Chris Moyles, is the second most-requested on-demand show, with 354,457 requests in June.

The popularity of Moyles' show online has spurred the station into creating a podcast of his show available for users to download and listen to on their iPod or MP3 player.
