FAN CAMPAIGN SINGLE: LIKE A ROSE - Page 3

daveake · 02 Jun 2010, 17:49

It's nearly the same as the number of polls that you've started

.

Is this going to be enough or do TPTB need to find something to get the number up towards the 2000 per day target that was mentioned? I guess it's somewhere less than a tenth of that so far.

Could do with Kev weighing in here with numbers and what chart position it could reach.

Out of interest, if one person downloaded the track a dozen times would it class as a dozen sales or just one because of the same IP address?

I read something about this when Rage Against The Machine was going for number 1. Even if you buy the track from various sites, they have a way of tracking your purchases, so only once will your purchase count, I presume it's through your IP address.

I'm not sure that's strictly true, the campaign by Leeds fans recently was based around the fact that you could purchase multiple copies over a period of time I don't thikn there is any IP address tracking other than ensuring that the purchase is made in the UK. iTunes also has the "send a gift" feature which means one person could buy the track for multiple people to download.

Yes, wondering about that too.
Kev, do you have any information regarding that one?

daveake · 03 Jun 2010, 13:10

It's got to be the number of purchases, not downloads.

Kev · 03 Jun 2010, 13:10

Its a bit tricky, there isn't anything to stop you ordering 1 version each day and from different retailers.
Example being - Us monday, amazon tuesday, Play wednesday, HMV thursday, us friday, Amazon saturday, Itunes sunday.

If you were to order one from each place each day then they might get thrown out... also ordering many versions from the same place on the same day could get thrown out also.

Also, orders from outside the UK won't count, but there are ways around that :)

**The Flying Mouse** · 03 Jun 2010, 19:09

Out of interest, has anyone contacted the Jack Black fans?
THere must be a forum or facegroup group?

If so, what has the responce been?

I think this is what I read back in December, multiple track buying does affect something, I have been trying to find it, but as yet, not found it.

fine job ! ... and a big thanks to all working the project and to those carrying forth the word !

robgomm · 04 Jun 2010, 13:54

I'd still like to do more if I can? Just not sure what.

robgomm · 04 Jun 2010, 13:54

What about emailing all the national papers, maybe they will put a small acrticle on it. Anythings better than nothing right?

*AndyK* · 04 Jun 2010, 17:16

I've been asked to pass the following news along

Quote:

Marya Roxx, LA based power rocker, has joined the Campaign facebook as a member.

A new website 21centuryrock.net, is now on-line aimed at the wider market of rock afficianados, and people who are disillusioned with the music business/labels.

We're still working hard to trigger the internet reaction we need to have numbers of supporters grow exponentially and fast. Numbers are steadily increasing, but the ripple effect has yet to take hold. [B]Anyone who would like to help and support this by putting in an hour hitting websites with the campaign message, please PM Melon;Netty;snider22;suzieq. That way we have most tme zones covered, and will get back to you asap. We're working on it full tilt, but the web's huge, so any help would be tremendous.[B]

We're also aiming for maximum hits on youtube, so passing this link along to contacts/forums etc would be a great help:

robgomm · 04 Jun 2010, 18:40

Just to update I have emailed the press release to 11 different national newspapers so far. Hopefully get time to do more tomorrow. I will also try to contact all the radio stations I can on the web to see if we can get a mention somewhere.

AndrewG · 04 Jun 2010, 22:38

CarylB · 04 Jun 2010, 23:17
