Just heard it - I don't love it on first listen but it's kinda catchy and sounds like a grower... so yeah I'm on board!

OK a few more listens later and I can't get it out of my head :wacko: if this had some promotion behind it and radio/TV got on board I actually think it could have done pretty well!

ME TOO!

Alex, I don't mean to be a cynic but could you post a video on YouTube that directly mentions BuzzJack or something so we know you're not some guy pretending to be Alex Day? :ph34r:

 

Good luck with 'Stupid Stupid', I'm sure it'll do a lot better than 'Lady Godiva' at least.

Yeah, other wise we all would look stupid stupid. :D

I just tweeted you :)

My twitter is @thatalexday if you wanna check that.

He's posted his youtube video at the start of this thread and he's been on BJ before anyway! Why would someone pretend to be Alex Day?

 

BTW, is it just me who sniggers like an immature teenager at the abbreviated form of BJ? :lol:

Alex! I love your music, and Stupid Stupid sounds very good - I'm looking forward to seeing how high it gets in the charts!

I'd have probably preferred Good Morning Sunshine to be a hit but it's probably too late for that as most of your fans will have the song already.

Wishing you good luck with this new song Alex. Hopefully you can equal the #4 success again!

Top 20 is fine (three Top 20 singles in twelve months with no label or management sounds good to me) but you're missing the point - I'm not selling the song to the general public. Few people outside my fanbase bought Forever Yours last year. For my audience, they need a reason. "Christmas number 1 for charity" is exciting - we got to #4. "Let's try again at Easter" isn't as exciting - we got to #15. I predict this one will fall somewhere in the middle of those two - unless it catches hold with press or radio, in which case it can grow. (This incidentally is why I keep gunning for the charts - to get the attention of wider media who can spread me beyond what I already have and stop me from being a 'flash-in-the-pan success'.)

 

I don't think you've understood my point though. It doesn't matter if you come up with the greatest song of all time, you've made it really hard for yourself to take seriously by having these flash-in-the-pan successes. The general public are very likely to not give you a second chance. Maybe it would help if the song was playlisted and got airplay, but all the reasons why radio isn't taking the song seriously makes me think that you do need to think outside the box to have long-term success. One-offs don't repat themselves successfully very often (because your rise to chart fame has been a one-off), which is the reason why I don't think that this song isn't doing to do very well comerically.

 

I'm not trying to bring you down and I'm happy for your success, I'm just trying to give you some advice and help you out. ^_^

Oh hai Alex

 

I found the Lady Godiva song/video quite amusing (in a good way), so i'll be sure to check out this new one

 

Was quite stunned by Forever Yours' success last year, so it would be nice to see something different in the christmas chart other than dull charity singles and depressing X Factor covers, i'm pretty sure you're in with a shot of at least going Top 10.

 

But regardless of chart success, as long as you put out good quality music, that's all that really matters to me :D

 

I don't think he's got a chance of no.1 overall, but I don't mean that in a disparaging way. The Hillsborough thing has got Christmas no.1 sewn up this year, it's inevitable, nothing else will come even remotely close.

Getting to no.1 on the iTunes chart is a far more realistic target.

I just tweeted you :)

Ah, that seems solid enough :kink: I don't know why anyone would pretend to be Alex Day on here but you never know.

Or what if the Twitter account is fake? :o :kink:

This is just a gimmick, no better than crazy frog ect. It is funny to see so many posters kissing ass in this thread too just because Alex has made it. If this was some Z list celeb doing this who didn't open a thread on here you'd all be slating it.

Forget Lady Gaga and Rihanna, this is THE Alex Day! :kink:

Shut up. This is comparble to bullying on social networking sites such as Twitter.

 

Can you stop ruining the thread please? Thanks.

How many versions of the new song are going to be produced? I seem to remember there were about 20 of "Forever Yours"
