Hi, R! Thanks!! Will someone explain to me exactly what that chart means and why it's SO different from the chart the BBC1 talked about?? I am confused and would like to understand.
*****************
This next part was written earlier than the above addition--sorry for the confusion!
Okay. Time to breathe a little. I think I typed that last message at about 100 mph or so it felt, because I wanted you all to read it quickly.
Now, let's go a little more slowly and think through all this. Let's go back to Meat's last message--you know, the one where he talked about the Meet and Greet. Go back and read it, if you need to in the General forum.
I have a theory. Let me tell you about it, then, please all of you, share your thoughts as to whether it might be right or not. Okay?
When I read that message now, I see that Meat, himself, realized that he wasn't going to get into the Top Ten, as he had originally wanted. He knew that then!!
He talked about being Number 1 on The Box, but as far as I know, he's only gotten as far as Number 3. This was to keep everyone's spirits up (maybe even his own--I don't know). It was an UPBEAT message for us!
That's why he told us that WITH OUR HELP, we'll move the single up this coming week and he'll go on the TOTP, which will certainly generate even more sales, the NEXT week! Right?
But this was his way of thanking everyone who had helped him to that point. He set up the Meet and Greet for Amsterdam. He did thank everyone. And then, he set in motion, without any of us understanding it at the time, what we would need to do for the coming week!
So, what do you think? After you've reread the message, does this make sense or not? That's how I'm reading it now. But I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Now, my dear friends, we must all put our heads and hearts together for him and work out a gameplan, so that we can move him up, as he deserves.
We know he's going to need airplay, so the request MUST continue. We need to keep doing everything we've been doing this past week.
Sin had an interesting idea about Text messaging that might prove helpful. Go back and read her earlier post, if you missed it. If you have ideas on how to go about this, PLEASE let us hear them.
What else can we do? The album's being released. Is there anything we can do which will tie both together --and help them both??
We need thoughts from everyone now. Every one of us is important to this project!! Every soldier counts!!
So, speak up. What do you think about all this? What ideas can we all come up with to allow people to hear this song, so they will want to buy it??
