Online group hope to Storm The Charts
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 25 June 2010
An online campaign is hoping to have a big impact on next week’s singles chart, by encouraging people to download tracks from forty unsigned or independently signed artists in the same week, with the aim of getting as many of the selected songs into the chart as possible.
Inspired by last Christmas’s ‘Get RATM to number one’ Facebook campaign, but with the focus this time on brand new music, organisers of the Storm The Charts venture have selected forty songs from new artists who have never charted before from hundreds of submissions and suggestions.
A Storm The Chart panel, music fans signed up to the venture’s Facebook page and guest judges like Huw Stephens and Emily Eavis have all helped pick the final forty tracks, which have now been listed at the URL below.
Storm The Charts followers are now urged to download as many of those tracks as they can after midnight on Saturday, from chart-returning download stores, with the aim of influencing the singles chart published on 4 Jul.
