U.K. Fans, fancy trying to get P back in the UK top 40?

well the rules have changed, we can get him in just on downloads only, lets agree a song, a date and spend 79p to get him in!, anyone up for it?.

This would be VERY good and effective if we can get enough people behind it.

I guess either 'Fury', 'Black Sweat' or another relatively recent single would be best. An 'oldie' hit just doesn't cut it for me.

Brilliant idea


To be fair, something from '79 - '82 would be cool, an early days track as I think that sometimes these sound more current with every passing year.

How many units would it have to sell to get inside the top 40? (ballpark)


I'd totally be up for getting 'Sister' to chart. dancing jig

to get to no 1 u need around 20,000 downloads of the same track, to get in the top five, u need around 5,000 downloads, a no 10 charting would require around 1500-2000

Sounds like a grand experiment. I'm up for it.

Something early and raw like Sister, or something very recent like Fury, or something more obscure, like an old b-side.

How about Erotic City?

i think we should go with fury or perhaps song of the heart since its oscar nominated and if we got it back in2 the charts the press would b all over it!

That's no good. It's already been a #1 hit and is already well known. We need something a bit different, I think.

Ooohh - I love this one, I'm confused now Sister or Anotherlover. At least Anotherlover has a video (they used that concert one I think).


Can this be a sticky?

Thanks for the replies, don't think 20 people can get him in the Chart though!!.
Personally i'm going to go for Fury on Jan 22nd 07 as an experiment to see if it works [too much split opinion at the moment] and then lets go for something wild like Head!.
I think i'll put this on a new thread right now!.

I think Anotherlover is a good choice actually.

'Has a video, great track, was a single already, but is not a well-known track (by the masses), classic Revolution era.

We just need to pick one song. It doesn't matter as we will already have it so let's pick a good one that could carry on selling via non Prince Fans getting on board once they hear it!

I think it has to be Kiss.

Let the Kiss revival begin!
