Another one this week, this time it's Ultravox - Vienna's turn.
Kim Wilde seems to be lending support to this campaign. tinyurl.com/ygqh85e

Well .. I guess the people involved in the campaign probably care a little bit.
I haven't even heard it so I guess I can be counted as one who doesn't care that much, but I still think 4 is pretty ok. I'd be happy with that even if it just got me into Mike Reid's notebook.

Yes Emma there were massive Facebook campaigns on both and the Wurzels managed a mighty No6 on the Indie chart (who cares?) whilst Delirious managed a massive No4 on the official singles chart (who cares? It will drop like a stone without anybody hearing it). The online hype phase peaks, declines, moves on.

I think the pathetic 4 is Delirious' biggest hit to date so I guess they won't be complaining. I didn't know there was a facebook campaign, but would they have charted so high without it. I'm sure thousands of bands would love to reach No.4 or even No.40
