**Edit: This campaign is now going ahead. If you wish to take part, all you have to do is download the song 'June' between June 1st - 14th from the official music outlets (SEE DOWNLOAD LINKS FURTHER DOWN).**

Original post:

Is anyone up for a 'June' campaign?

If so, please click like/love & share!

And if enough of us are willing, we will then get going with our new purple campaign!!! 💜💜💜

Note: This campaign is based on downloading/streaming the song 'June' from the album HITNRUN Phase One between 1-14 June 2017. Should the sales for this song go up, it might start appearing in the charts of your respective countries or could simply draw the general public's attention towards the song and corresponding album. In any case, it is a good opportunity for the fans to unite and celebrate Prince's memory whilst honoring his legacy. And just like Prince did, our campaigns bring people together, which in itself is a positive and valuable outcome!

Please like our page if you haven't already so you can get regular updates.

Thank you for your support!

I think there may be a slight problem here.

Is "June" even generally available on streaming services right now? Just checked Spotify and HITNRUN ain't there. It's on my personal Google Play Music cloud but not their database. iTunes appear to have it though.

It's all tied up with the Universal Music deal which went to court yesterday to get cancelled completely.

Right now, all of the post-96 music rights are completely up in the air.

Thank you for the update militant. I don't have much time right now but I will have a look into it later this morning. We might still be able to continue with the campaign but we will have to amend our post to guide people towards the right online stores.

As far as I can see, the song is still available for streaming on Tidal and for download on Amazon and iTunes, which are the main places where people will go to. As long as this availability stands between June 1st - 14th, then the campaign should not be affected by the ongoing issues with the Universal deal.

I'd just kill the idea, frankly. It's a bad one.

Not only have you not even considered the song availability before outlining your plan, your consideration of the song June as a celebration of Prince seems like a bullet fired right at one's own metatarsals.

I can assure you that I have and what militant has pointed out is a fairly recent possible change which is not yet affecting the stores availability for Prince's music any differently than it always was.

Despite all the intricacies of Prince's music distribution deals, and as mentioned in my above response, this song is currently still available from most oulets and your comment is out of place.

I will post the direct links to download / stream the song.

Without Spotify, seriously, this will struggle. I'd like to be supportive but I don't want you to waste your efforts.

Wow, that's big lol!!!

Please do not bump threads - thank you

'Most outlets?' That bit of spin over an amateur screwup is Spicer-esque.

The song is inappropriate.

And it isn't available to stream on Spotify which makes an impossible mission comically harder. The fact that you hadn't even researched this before posting, and seem oblivious to the issues around the song, suggest this was just an illthought-out attempt to go viral.

Please read all my posts before making any further vitriol-esque assumptions, thanks!

so stupid

Stop playing the victim card in lieu of any kinda sensible response to anything raised.

It's a stupid idea. The lack of streaming support isn't even the worst aspect but... streaming is the way to win, especially with an audience who already have purchased said track, and you didn't know you were up against a 99% market shutout. D'oh.

Not to mention that even if you succeeded and no one questioned what the song was about... June? Really? Can't imagine that type of track exciting a new generation of Prince followers.

All I can see is a desire to go viral and you working out that we're in the month of June. And so far the song has more streaming support than the campaign it seems.

Agreed... Tired of these pointless threads...

I have to echo what most have said already; if you're going to run a campaign, the song should be available on ALL major steaming sites & it should be a single (preferably uptempo) so it can be requested on radio too (many stations take requests via twitter & Facebook). Little red corvette would have been a good choice seeing as it just went viral + with the upcoming PRD release, would be perfect imo.

Just like being with FAMILY.

Some reasons to follow this campaign:

It is a much cheaper way to celebrate his music than the cost of a PP celebration ticket.

HITNRUN Phase One is a great album that deserves more attention than it has got so far.

The pie chart posted above by militant is based on usual music downloads and does not represent any eventual Prince / Campaign related downloads.

However small, and despite the numerous naysayers on here, the campaign for 'The Cross' back in December had a significant impact on the sales for that song, which was recognised by many participants and non-participants alike. This was achieved at a time when Prince's music was still out of Spotify and the majority of other digital music websites. PLUS it was when Prince4Everone only had under 500 page followers (we now have over 4,000 keeping in mind that each 'share' of our post reaches an average of 50 more views...).

I'll let y'all ponder over this.

I just wanted to say thank you to Wendy & Lisa and to Taja Sevelle for their support! 💜

Keep up the good work, Cherry! Try to tune out the negativity - what you are doing is a touching way to try to bring the community together and give us something to rally behind.
