The UK iTunes chart is about to receive a shock treatment (ha!!!) tonight, as a Buzzjack 10-year anniversary special campaign gets underway

Purchase Lisa Scott-Lee's 2005 hit "Electric" on Friday 4th March (tonight at MIDNIGHT!), and get it as high up the iTunes chart as we possibly can~ who knows, maybe even Capital FM will take notice

iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/electric-single/id81142542

And don't forget to stream it on Spotify also! And if you're really dedicated to the cause why not purchase the CD single! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B000BCHJ0Q/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

For more information on the campaign, here's the Lounge thread: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=187292&view=findpost&p=5332313

To add, if you do not wish to spend, money, you may stream it and/or up to 15 different versions of it on Spotify/Apple Music. Remember you can stream a single version up to 10 times in a day for it to count towards the chart!

*fires up bit torrents*

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd March 2016, 03:35 PM

Will it count if you buy the CD single from a reseller on Amazon? Isn't that like buying it from a charity shop?

Posted by: Joe. 3rd March 2016, 03:37 PM

Yeah, that won't be tracked.

I'm in btw. Will post a screenshot of the sale tomorrow.

Posted by: mr_pmt 3rd March 2016, 03:41 PM

I'll be there with my finger on the button just after the stroke of midnight.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 3rd March 2016, 03:41 PM

By the time I wake up tomorrow morning I expect to see Lukas Graham pushed down to 0.0036 on kworb

Posted by: Vülker 3rd March 2016, 04:01 PM

I'm good to go with my playlists ready to play and repeat 10x a day on Spotify and Apple Music.

Will also get a CD single from one of the online music shops (not resellers) on Amazon.co.uk!

'Electric' for #1.

lol

Posted by: Qween 3rd March 2016, 04:03 PM

Oh my days, I had no idea THIS was the song y'all were getting behind. I'll be buying no question then *.*

Posted by: Simon. 3rd March 2016, 04:07 PM

Ima hit the streaming.

Posted by: mr_pmt 3rd March 2016, 04:08 PM

I guess we'll have someone ready to catch the first viable update on iTunes to see if it had any effect at all?

Just imagine if it freezes for that period of time.

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra 3rd March 2016, 04:14 PM

If it makes the top 1000 on the iTunes pop chart, it's already a success.

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 3rd March 2016, 04:27 PM

I better hope you're supporting this in some form or another if you're going to be posting statements like this

it's been the chosen song for weeks now! #flopglob

I hope my gift card still works that has £1.50 still left on it. Shame the song isn't 75p on iTunes I'd've bought two copies

Don't suppose I can just leave my iPod on all day to continuously stream all 15 versions repeatedly without it stopping/me needing to it? I'll be using the app. I guess I'll have to change its power settings so it doesn't turn off but just wondering if it stops playing after going through all songs in a playlist? Or do I have to attend to it every 46 minutes

Hope people can keep us posted in the chart forum of any activity this gets, big or small!

Posted by: Froot. 3rd March 2016, 04:29 PM

I think it would be very exciting if it made it on the Pop Chart, anything extra is a bonus but we may as well try to get the song as high as we can. Who knows, a significant increase in sales might lead to an OCC report.

Posted by: Joe. 3rd March 2016, 04:30 PM

If anyone has friends at Popjustice (forum), they'd LOVE this.

Posted by: mdh 3rd March 2016, 04:32 PM

I'll make a thread for tracking the song so we can post all updates on that thread on where it is on Spotify, iTunes etc.

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 3rd March 2016, 04:33 PM

quick q, is the 10 streams pp/pd rule for every 24 hours or is it fixed hour days, if you know what i mean.

(not urgent but for some reason I hit null vote in the poll maybe someone could change that )

Posted by: Jester 3rd March 2016, 04:37 PM

Excellent I'll be buying it tomorrow.

Posted by: LushLifeLee 3rd March 2016, 04:41 PM

Can somebody e-mail popjustice regarding this?

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd March 2016, 04:41 PM

sorry... that vote is accepted

Posted by: Chez Wombat 3rd March 2016, 04:43 PM

I'm not sure I'll be here at midnight, but I'll definitely be buying this! I do hope I'll never have to explain this to anyone in real life

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd March 2016, 04:46 PM

Spread the word, tell all your friends to download the track

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd March 2016, 04:46 PM

I'm sure one sale is enough for it to at least chart on the physicals chart. If more people bought the CD single the sky could be the limit!

Posted by: TheNotoriousSPUN 3rd March 2016, 04:48 PM

what do you mean?
Does choosing Null vote prevent mods from changing it to a yes vote?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 3rd March 2016, 04:49 PM

Will be buying at midnight and streaming throughout the week!

Posted by: mr_pmt 3rd March 2016, 05:10 PM

I'm pretty sure sales on iTunes must be so low that anything as low as #1000 on the pop chart must have no sales at all and they just use a random generator to make up the numbers?



Popjustice hated her and this song, they spent that entire week ridiculing her. I'm not sure they themselves would get behind it.

Regarding the streaming thing, also is it still the case that they're still not collating Thursday's streaming data? If so, we can only add 0.6 sales by streaming?

Posted by: Vülker 3rd March 2016, 05:13 PM

Can any of you make a pretty banner to support this and tweet it to celebs and appropriate people in the media. We should at least try and make a hashtag trend!

Posted by: Vülker 3rd March 2016, 05:19 PM

Also, there's so many physical copies out there, we should try and make 'Electric' go out of stock!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 3rd March 2016, 05:31 PM

I'm in! Looking forward to buying at midnight. #blistatcapital #totallyscottlee #bjturns10

Posted by: Ethan 3rd March 2016, 05:39 PM

will purchase and stream (on mute )~

Posted by: Joe. 3rd March 2016, 09:17 PM

Surely we can get more than 25 people involved!

Posted by: Dan_ 3rd March 2016, 09:20 PM

Doctor Blind what iTunes position you reckon this could get to with 25 sales??

Posted by: Joe. 3rd March 2016, 09:21 PM

It would go top 1,500 for sure, as long as the sales were within the same 10ish hours

Posted by: SevenSeize 3rd March 2016, 11:11 PM

LESS THAN AN HOUR to go!

Made my contribution. Now I'll just fire up Spotify.

Have purchased, now to see how high we can go!

Posted by: dandy* 4th March 2016, 12:03 AM

Got it... Now I'm finally off to bed!

Posted by: mr_pmt 4th March 2016, 12:04 AM

Purchased, from the link provided in the opening post.

Heavenly father, forgive me.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 4th March 2016, 12:04 AM

Done *.*

Posted by: liamk97 4th March 2016, 12:04 AM

Done!

Posted by: Liаm 4th March 2016, 12:05 AM

Bought it, it's actually a bit of a tune so streaming it while downloading

Posted by: Jonjo 4th March 2016, 12:08 AM

Done and done.

Gonna go order the physical single so I can reminisce on this in the future!

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th March 2016, 12:08 AM

Bought!

Posted by: Mark. 4th March 2016, 12:10 AM

Streaming now

Posted by: Scherz 4th March 2016, 12:20 AM

Bought it!

I'd buy the CD single but I already have it

Posted by: Jonjo 4th March 2016, 12:22 AM

I'm excited to read my Spotify stats at the end of this year!

Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ 4th March 2016, 12:24 AM

bought 3 copies LOL

Posted by: sammy01 4th March 2016, 12:26 AM

Streamed on mute.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 4th March 2016, 12:28 AM

mute being the new streaming service launched by Lisa Scott Lee.

Posted by: Joe. 4th March 2016, 12:29 AM

Muting Spotify means streams don't count apparently! Just turn your volume down very low.

Trying to remember he password for my old iTunes account to I can buy it again!

Posted by: sammy01 4th March 2016, 12:32 AM

Are you saying that to make me endure, I mean stream it again?

Posted by: mr_pmt 4th March 2016, 01:10 AM

I think I've streamed this over 10 times for more than 30 seconds each time.

Posted by: tommie 4th March 2016, 03:26 AM

Flop campaign (I couldn't have helped anyway, living in Sweden )

Just turn the sound off on your computer. They might detect if you're muting Spotify itself, but not your own computer.

Posted by: Vülker 4th March 2016, 08:20 AM

Just bought the physical single on Amazon, MP3 version on iTunes and currently streaming!

Posted by: Joe. 4th March 2016, 08:33 AM

How iconic that iTunes has actually been down for almost 9 hours when this campaign started.

Posted by: •Josh• 4th March 2016, 09:49 AM

Left Spotify on at home streaming all five versions on there and my http://www.last.fm/user/jsilv/library/music/Lisa+Scott-Lee looks like a mess, shame she hasn't realised that we're trying to get her back in the charts and supported us

Posted by: mr_pmt 4th March 2016, 10:44 AM

I find it a bit gutting that our once chance to see if we can collectively come together and see if we can make an impact on this has been thwarted in this way, bloody iTunes!

I feel like I must have tempted fate by joking about this happening beforehand.

Posted by: Joe. 4th March 2016, 10:59 AM

It's actually quite ridiculous (and a bit sad), I was expecting to see the song briefly at around #800 on iTunes .

Posted by: LushLifeLee 4th March 2016, 11:04 AM

We can just do this once Itunes is up and running!

Posted by: Joe. 4th March 2016, 11:07 AM

Most of us have bought our copy tho

Posted by: LushLifeLee 4th March 2016, 11:09 AM

This is VERY TYPICAL of iTunes to go down when we actually need it.

Posted by: gooddelta 4th March 2016, 11:11 AM

Sums up the Buzzjack struggles of the last 10 years perfectly at least.

The ESSENCE of the iLoons thread represented by a crash at a vital time

Posted by: Colm 4th March 2016, 12:43 PM

You killed iTunes!

Yay!

Posted by: Martyn 4th March 2016, 02:23 PM

I'm sure iTunes has crashed under the weight of 11 people buying a LSL song within days of each other, let alone minuets.

That ^ sale should count towards the chart right?

Posted by: Joe. 4th March 2016, 04:10 PM

I think so. Don't forget Play.com and 7 Digital!

Posted by: SevenSeize 4th March 2016, 05:56 PM

Let's get more Buzzjackers behind this and send it into the iTunes Top 1000 *.* (#1112 at the moment)

Posted by: mdh 4th March 2016, 05:57 PM

Posted by: mr_pmt 4th March 2016, 08:36 PM

Next stop: try and make it appear in the top 200 midweek.

Posted by: bluenose02. 4th March 2016, 10:06 PM

Is that possible???

Posted by: hotchoc26 4th March 2016, 10:09 PM

no it would need to be slaying the top 100 iTunes AND doing very well on streaming.

Posted by: Alex! 4th March 2016, 11:19 PM

I'm screaming at it getting as high as 1006.

Posted by: Joe. 5th March 2016, 12:45 AM

It MIGHT be in the top 200s tomorrow and only tomorrow, as lots of people multi-bought on different platforms, and streaming won't be included in tomorrow's mids. But only Minty has them, I suggest lots of people tweet him and ask tomorrow.

Posted by: DanChartFan 5th March 2016, 01:40 AM

I had no idea buzzjack was doing this, so I've already missed one streaming day. I'll try to remember to stream 10 times very day, I just hope the track is reasonably endurable as I've never heard of it. I probably won't buy though as my iTunes hasn't worked for months (holding about £30 to ransom in the process) and my amazon hasn't worked since they changed everything for streaming.

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th March 2016, 02:19 AM

Knowing Minty as we vaguely know him, he might be leaping with joy at its appearance in the top 200 if it were there.

SO hope it is.

Posted by: tommie 5th March 2016, 02:29 AM

FUN FACT: Jenny Flop's attempt at solo stardom Crash Landing was released the same week. Even Lisa's look was "what the hell" when she heard it entered at 47.

Posted by: jase. 5th March 2016, 02:34 AM

I loved 'Crash Landing' back in the day!

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th March 2016, 02:37 AM

Same

And 'Perfection'

And 'I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)' (which is still legitimately amaze)

Posted by: ___∆___ 5th March 2016, 03:04 AM

I bought so many CDS from multiple locations in my efforts to get Lisa into the Top 10 when it was released! Still love her now and loved the reaction she got to her solo set in the Steps comeback tour.

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th March 2016, 03:08 AM

What did she perform?

All 4 of her magnum opuses?

Posted by: tommie 5th March 2016, 01:06 PM

her entire south afreca-only alberm never or now aye

Posted by: tommie 5th March 2016, 02:28 PM

I didn't know Electric was written by Guy Chambers (and Ben from A1!) - surely not one of his finest moments?

Posted by: MarthaJonesFan 5th March 2016, 02:39 PM

Do you have anything positive to contribute?

Posted by: jsg2013 5th March 2016, 02:41 PM

i downloaded four copies of Electric from various outlets and i couldn't keep it off repeat today. It is actually still such a jam!

Posted by: tommie 5th March 2016, 03:04 PM

Yes.

Here's a picture of Roseann from Lisa's former record label Concept Records and was THE star of Totally Scott-Lee:

When did this exit the top 1,500?

Posted by: ___∆___ 5th March 2016, 07:40 PM

Streamed like mad today

Apple Music - 10 X album version, 10 X single version
Spotify - 10 X album version
Deezer - 10 X album version

Posted by: RiseR 6th March 2016, 05:05 AM

Hopefully people will also put "Electric" in their personal charts so we can have Lisa appear in the Buzzjack Multichart as well!

http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=187943 if you want to be part of that campaign

Posted by: Vülker 9th March 2016, 10:42 AM

Well I've just received my 'Electric' CD single, it came from somethingsomethingMedia (threw away the package and can't remember the name now) so it looks like it could be counted towards the physical sales chart.

Posted by: mr_pmt 9th March 2016, 09:14 PM

Spotify plays now stand at 46,082. How many is that since we started this?

Also, when did it leave the top 1,500 on iTunes? Sometime Saturday evening?

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 9th March 2016, 09:25 PM

Did anyone message other sites about this and did anyone tweet Lisa or her manager or brother??

Posted by: SevenSeize 9th March 2016, 09:28 PM

Jay's post from Thursday says it was on 44,438. I remember seeing it leave the Top 1500 sometime quite late on Friday

Posted by: awardinary 7th March 2021, 08:03 PM

Amusing when looking back over the differences between this 10 year anniversary campaign and the one that took place today for Mollie King. What a contrast, and I have to applaud the organisation of ones like Mack, Klumzee and Leww for spearheading a successful campaign today!

Posted by: tommie 7th March 2021, 08:16 PM

TBF to Lisa Scott-Lee - when this campaign was attempted, iTunes sales were much higher.

Posted by: jAddy! 7th March 2021, 08:34 PM

Posted by: tommie 7th March 2021, 08:37 PM

I meant it as a compliment towards Lisa Scott-Lee, honest

Posted by: Bjork 8th March 2021, 07:51 AM

looking at Kworb's date, you guys reached 0.124 on average yesterday
we know Olivia is doing around 150-200 copies a day now and she was on 0.31
meaning you managed around 50 copies I'd say

Posted by: tommie 8th March 2021, 08:23 AM

I think one website estimated it to ~40 copies, which seems about right.

If those people who bought it wants to try and get it into the sales chart (which is around ~200 copies) they could always try gifting UK frens with iTunes cards and get them to download Back To You that way, but it's a tall order to basically multipy the sales with 4/5.

Maybe the goal in 2026 could be to get a song into the sales chart. Lord knows the sales will be low enough by then (if the chart still exists!).

Posted by: Bjork 8th March 2021, 08:40 AM

the easiest solution is multi-buying, if instead of buying 1 copy, everybody buys 10, you get 500 sales in a day instead of 50
and then you could grab the iTunes #1 for the day for sure

Posted by: tommie 8th March 2021, 08:57 AM

I think it's hard to convince people to spend more than £0.99 on a song in general. But yes, of course, buying multiple remixes seperately could work (RIP Billiam), though that wouldn't effect its position on the iTunes chart.
