Hi again! Back from taking care of my parents. What great news everyone has had!

Number 3!! All Right, Sin!!! This is probably not anything any of us would know, but I wonder just how many requests it takes to get a song to number 3 or number 1? Does the station ever say anything about this?

It's the same sort of thing for us and the CHSIB single: How many singles have to be sold to make it in the top ten?? None of us know, so we're working blind here.

From Meat's message yesterday, if I'm interpreting it correctly, it sounds as though he didn't think he'd be in the Top Ten where he wanted to be. But he was hoping, with all our help and the release of the album, that it would move up enough to be on the Top of the Pops by next week. Is that how the rest of you interpreted his message yesterday? Or did I misread it??

To those of you in the UK, perhaps, you can answer this for me? Do you know what position a song has to be in, in order to be eligible to be on TOTP? Is it the Top Ten or Top Twenty? Just curious...

Caryl, welcome back. Nice to hear from you and what great news to share with all of us!! Congrats! You and Vicki must be so excited and pleased!!!! I think a 100 thousand people is a terrific audience to be reaching!! And if they do give a plug for the album as well, with all its special features...well, sales should be up in Sheffield in no time!!!

Wasn't there someone here from Sheffield earlier?? I can't remember. If so, I hope they come back so they can share what happens.

Hi, Dave! Nice to see you. I have a strange question to ask you? I think about a week ago, I heard something about one of the BBC 1 announcers and I think it might have been the one you mentioned. Did he do something with Meat the last time he was on the show with him? Something to do with a parody of Dead Ringer?? I can't remember, darn it, exactly what I heard and I can't remember if it was here at the forum that I read it or one of the ML mailing lists. Does this sound familiar to anyone else??

I know that BBC has a number of radio stations. Been to their website a LOT these past couple of weeks. :) And I know I've heard CHSIB played on Radio 2. I was going to ask, before Dave's post, what other of their channels might be a good candidate for the single. Now, from Dave, I know that BBC radio1 is. Are there any others that might possibly play the song on air?? We can all hit them with emails, as well.

Wonderful news, guys! It may be Saturday, but it's certainly been a productive Work Day so far!! :P

I'm off to do some more emailing, myself! Let us know, Dave, when you hear back from Radio 1!! Here's hoping...
