I didn't think P was on any streaming sites except Tidal?

You are right. He's only available on Tidal to stream, so if you have a Tidal account and in the UK, then get streaming. If not, then purchasing from iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music, 7 Digital and other reputable and reportable to the Official Charts company is the only way to go.

This morning on Amazon UK

The Cross

Amazon Bestsellers Rank: 50 in Songs (See Top 100 in Songs) (gained 12 places since yesterday)

• #4 in MP3 Downloads > Songs > R&B (-)
• #25 in MP3 Downloads > Songs > Pop (+7)
  
  

Sometimes It Snows In April

Amazon Bestsellers Rank: 235 in Songs (See Top 100 in Songs)

• #2 in MP3 Downloads > Songs > Classic Rock (+ 1)
• #3 in MP3 Downloads > Songs > Broadway & Vocalists (-)
• #15 in MP3 Downloads > Songs > Soundtracks (+ 5)

Google Play (R&B)

The Cross is stabilising at #21, Sometimes It Snows In April is far down at #271 and Still Would Stand All Time has dropped at #307 and no moonbeam Levels at all (More here)

iTunes

I can only see 1999 at #55 (- 13) in the R&B category at the moment.

In summary, it looks as if people are not choosing to download Still Would Stand All Time and Moonbeam Levels as much, wich is a shame as both are great and got off to a very good start last Friday. There are still 3 days though (It ain't over!) , and things can change quickly if we all back up those two songs, as we have seen it happen with 'The Cross'! I would therefore like to encourage everyone to download them if they haven't already done so.

As expected, there are also many contenders from the PR album, and as I have also noticed since today, more songs from the SOTT album are gradually emerging (such as 'SOTT' at #158 on Google play and 'U Got The Look' #131 on Amazon R & B) and I think this trend could catch on and grow early in the next year.

The fact that 'The Cross' now appears at the top of the best sellers thus self-promoting the album has probably encouraged some people to have a listen. We need to keep up the good work, it is looking very good for Prince who now has many songs in the best sellers lists.

Our only hurdles - as always - are the facts that his music is not readily available everywhere and also the fact as iTunes is sometimes confusing some as it leads to Apple Music where none of the songs are available, which might reflect on the overall figures at the end. But as far as the campaign is concerned, the fans are doing their bit (THANK YOU! ) as 'The Cross' and 'Sometimes It Snows In April' which are the main 2 priorities of the campaign ARE indeed going up at least on Amazon so it is obviously working.

Cherry, you're doing a sterling job...My mates on FB are a miserable bunch but I shall continue to hound them! (I also got told off for using our organisational twitter account to promote the campaign so I can't do that any more). Nevertheless, it ain't over until the proverbial sings - so I shall persist!

Your doing a fab job cherrymoon And a shout out to Dibblekins

Thanks, GH - although Cherry is the real mover and shaker in all of this (appropriate, given how P really does move and shake us all)!

Aww thanks to both of you for your great moral support.

This campaign is proving to be both exciting and yet emotional for everyone myself included, so some encouragement is greatly appreciated!

And thanks to everyone who has embarked with me on this, for every single person who is doing their little bit, added to the bigger river of the multitude of collective efforts...

Let's just keep this going until Friday (Thursday 22nd December at 23:59pm to be more precise) and see how far Prince's music will lead us all.💜

For those who have twitter, we are trying get everyone to tweet the same #s between 8.00pm and 8.05pm. To see if we can get trending... So in about 15 mins now, bet. 8.00pm & 8.05pm. Let's all tweet:

"Follow our campaign #Prince4Xmas to try and get #PRINCE a UK No1 with #TheCross "

💜

If some of you have missed it, don't worry we will do another one at 9:00pm.

Just a brief reminder that all the info/links about our campaign and the songs we need to support/download/stream are on here: http://facebook.com/Prince4Christmas/Thank you! 💜

Damn - I missed the collective tweeting (and I have to do it on the sneak because my colleagues think it's unprofessional, hehehe)! Are we doing it again any time soon?

Don't worry Dibblekins, we are doing another one tonight between 6:00pm and 6:05pm. Hopefully you won't be at work by then!

Please come and join us on Twitter for a collective tweeting tonight between 6:00pm and 6:05pm (GMT - UK Time).

Please include the following in your tweet:

Follow the Facebook fan campaign #Prince4Christmas#Prince4Xmas to try and get #PRINCE a UK #xmasno1 with #TheCross@Prince4Xmas

Make sure you set your phone alarm!

Until then, let's continue as we started for as much as we can. I know this is starting to probably get in the way of the festive preparations for many of you, but if you could just spare a few moments to either retweet a message, share our Facebook post, stream 'The Cross' on your pc whilst doing something else or even re-purchase the song where you haven't purchased it yet... At the end every little thing will count towards the whole result, so let's not give up!

Ah well I didn't see many of you on Twitter (I had just sent you all off on that HMV website after all lol!). But it was worth a try.

Don't worry, it will all be over in a couple of days Already planning an April campaign though

Cherry for Christmas!!!

Quick Amazon UK update: 'Still Would Stand All Time' is now #12, 'Sometimes It Snows...' now at #10 in R&B whilst 'The Cross' is still standing gloriously at #4 with a certain look of defiance towards The Weekend ahead of him with 'I feel It Coming'. Love it!
