Hi, dear friends! Sorry that I disappeared for a little while. I just did something and I'll tell you about it in a minute.
Let me try to address some of your concerns. THIRTY ONE is NOT bad!! Here is a man who has not put out a new album in 7 years!! You remember what he told us in one of his messages? "They didn't think that I could sell singles!"
Well, he CAN!! And he did it without all the stores having stock!! Think back to the kind of week we had here! What we have all been going through and working toward!!
We weren't sure that he was going to get onto the chart AT ALL! HE wasn't sure, either!!
But he did!! This 50+ (whatever) rocker is on the charts with Madonna and all the other groups, that I don't even know anymore. They've passed me by, I guess.
We HAVE to be proud of him. We have to be proud of ourselves because we helped to get him THIS far.
And next week, with all the stores having stock so that they will fulfill their waiting orders AND the album's release which will help move things along, the numbers are going to jump!!
Don't be disappointed. None of us here have any idea how many records it takes to make it to the charts. Maybe we all helped to sell THOUSANDS of them!!!!!
But with the kind of competition he had this week, I think that 31 is amazing!!
Now, friends, please, I just did something and I want you all to participate in it . Okay?
I just started a new thread congratulating Meat, 'er FireBall from all of us around the world who have been fighting for this!!
Go and sign it!! Let him know that we're here. We're PROUD of him. And more importantly, that we are NOT going to stop working for him until we get him all the way to NUMBER ONE!!!!
Go! Add your thoughts to this. But make it happy! Make it UPBEAT and MAKE IT HOPEFUL, because it IS!!!!
We've got to keep HIS spirits up, too, you know? I don't know if he's down about this or not, because it's been some week!!!!
But he's a fighter and he believes in this song and the album to come and so do all of us here!!!
Okay. I'd better post this or you'll think I've deserted you altogether. I won't! Not ever. We're an army and we've just begun the war!!!!!!
Go sign it now!!! Okay??
Love you all!!!
