PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

Dear purple followers,

Between 7th and 21st April 2017 we are hoping to get as many people as possible to download / stream 'The Beautiful Ones' so that the song enters the charts around the World just in time for the commemorative period. This will be our way of honouring and celebrating Prince whilst putting forward one of his slightly less known - yet poignant - track from the Purple Rain era.

'Prince4Christmas' has now become 'Prince4Everyone', a name that reflects more accurately our main goal, which is to help Prince's music reach a wider audience. We are hoping that by making it more 'visible' to the general public, Prince's legacy will inspire more generations to come and maybe even encourage them to pick up a musical instrument.

Our recent campaign started in January 2017, with a view to promote a Prince song to reach the charts in April. We will also continue to promote https://levelup4love.org/, a website that gathers in one place the majority of the charities that Prince used to support.

Apart from the new name, our Facebook and Twitter pages will remain the same so all you have to do is sit back, enjoy the ride and invite more friends to come along.

We look foward to working with you all in 2017!

Dear purple followers,

Between April 7th and 21st 2017 we are hoping to get as many people as possible to download / stream 'The Beautiful Ones' so that the song enters the charts around the World just in time for the commemorative period. This will be our way of honouring and celebrating Prince whilst putting forward one of his slightly less known - yet poignant - track from the Purple Rain era.

As a brief reminder, this is the song that was chosen and voted for by the majority of you earlier this year through a survey done on a separate website (SurveyPlanet).

It doesn't really matter when exactely the streaming or download is done, because charts dates are not the same everywhere, as long as the download / streaming is done:

- from official DIGITAL outlets (Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, Deezer, etc),
- USING THE VERSION ON THE PURPLE RAIN ALBUM
- within the same time frame (April 7th - 21st).

We will post some links to help you find the track more easily.

Until then, there are many ways in which you can spread the word:

1) Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/...4Every0ne/
2) Share / like our ads
2) Follow us on Twitter @Prince4Everyone
3) Create your own banners if you wish + post them here for others to share
4) Contact your local / national radiostations and ask them to play 'The Beautiful Ones' and to mention the campaign.

If you can think of any other ways please post them below!

Thanks again to all of you, for the wonderful support you have given us so far. Let's keep this going and give it our best for our forever beloved Prince.

Purple wishes to all 💜

Prince4Everyone

indeed! ?

I am so sorry I've not been about until the last day or so, Cherry! What's the deal? Anything I can do? We've still got a few days!?

CherryMoon57 said:

The instructions are crystal clear, what are y'all waiting for?

OK - I've shared on my FB page and have downloaded the song.

I am going to share on Twitter - but I may get into trouble for doing so! But P was all about breaking rules, right!?

Thank you Dibbles. This is the very least we can do for a man who gave his all for his art and our enjoyment of it. 💜

Yes, ma'am...My apologies for not being around much to support the campaign (due to personal reasons, I came off the internet entirely for a bit) but I shall do my best now though!

Purchased mine from iTunes - 99p - from the actual Purple Rain album. On top of listening to it on Spotify daily when time permits.
