The second album is really good. I want some new material as well.

Here's your reply :kink:

 

Shayne Ward's career: let's get it back on track

 

http://www.popjustice.com/images/stories/j/shaynewardprotest.jpg

Over the weekend a posse of furious Shayne Ward fans got together to protest

outside Manchester radio station Key 103. They're not happy with the way Simon

Cowell has managed Shayne Ward's career.

 

Here's what happened.

 

 

Now we know what you might be thinking. "There are only sixteen people in this

video, surely that's not enough to convince Simon Cowell to make another Shayne

Ward album." You're right to have your concerns, but a new Shayne Ward album is

not an impossible dream.

 

There are two options.

 

1. Increase required fan input to meet costs

If you take in recording, manufacturing, marketing and other associated costs for an

entire campaign (because of course they won't be happy with just two single

releases from the album and will no doubt campaign for a third 'for the fans')

at usual Syco standards let's say you could get the whole thing done for £500,000

without fans moanin' and wailin' about Shayne not having enough money spent on

him. This means that each of the sixteen fans pictured above would need to pay

£31,250 for this to break even. Perhaps this could be deemed good value with the

use of 'super deluxe edition' albums including a postcard and a badge.

 

2. Scale down costs to meet demand

If you take those 16 fans and assume they'll each buy an album, three singles on

every (remaining) format and a DVD re-release next Christmas, you're looking at

taking around £30 from each fan, putting the budget for the entire campaign at

somewhere in the region of £480. This is certainly doable, it just requires some

tightening of belts.

 

If the Shayne Ward fans could let us know which option they wish to pursue we can

get onto Syco and try to get this project moving.

That popjustice guy isnt really half as funny or relevant as he thinks he is.

 

Shayne's first album sold around 520,000 in UK alone, and second 460,000 approx. His third album has been delayed a number of times, and I think it's possible that he will be dropped after this series of x factor as there is still no definite news of a release date.
