December 7, 201014 yr Is this going to work though, given that the Royal British Legion has already done it. actually the completely plagurised the idea, this campaign was getting lots of press, then some arse came on the news claiming his original idea for a British Legion single, original idea my arse, i'm all for giving money to the RBL but credit when credit's due. oh and i love how many people miss the point of this in this thread. get a sense of humour and stop taking the charts so f***ing seriously.
December 7, 201014 yr as winston churchill once said - 'democracy is the worst form of government apart from all the other types' :(
December 12, 201014 yr Looking at the iTunes chart this already looks like it's died on its arse. Trashmen doing well enough, though doubt it'll do better than top 10
December 12, 201014 yr Looking at the iTunes chart this already looks like it's died on its arse. Trashmen doing well enough, though doubt it'll do better than top 10 they are going promo made from tomorrow, i'm not saying it will all of a sudden be top 10 on itunes but expect it to rise loads on itunes tomorrow, and anyway i'd perfer to give 100% to charity by buying this rather than pay money for the terrible song that is Surfin Bird.

Fair points. I've always liked Surfin' Bird but then Full Metal Jacket is one of my favourite films and its use in that is genius. Plus I like 60s Garage and Surf Rock

December 12, 201014 yr I think the answer there is glaringly obvious You never know - it may sell more Will Young sold over 1 million in a week with Evergreen/Anything Is Possible on Pop Idol in 2002 - and that released in March wasn't it?
December 13, 201014 yr You never know - it may sell more Will Young sold over 1 million in a week with Evergreen/Anything Is Possible on Pop Idol in 2002 - and that released in March wasn't it? Aside from the fact that singles have traditionally sold better at xmas, even with the lack of availbilty of physicals in recent years, my point is that there's certain 'status' around xmas number 1s and the eternal guarantee of revival every 12 months on radio and tv. Looking long term an xmas #1 is guaranteed regular royalty payments and noteworthiness that other songs just don't always get Edited December 13, 201014 yr by Severin
