Blue Boy	I would never come on here and start accusing JK of twisting the facts, that's what he does and I assume what he always will do when promoting a pet project. Media spin has been an art practised to the extreme in the marketing departments of record companies long before recent generations of politicians starting freely bending and twisting the facts to suit the story. To be clear, if Alex makes the Top 5 official BBC weekly charts for Christmas as is being predicted here I think it will be a fantastic achievement and one that everyone involved should rightly be proud of. I certainly didn't think getting a high chart position for such an average song would be possible and admit I got this one wrong.
terrylamps	It is indeed number 4 on the official midweeks and should be number 3 tomorrow. Not sure why JK is being accused of twisting the facts, they are very simple. As of tomorrow it will probably be number 3, with only 2 records ahead of it in the chart. This of course the toughest chart of the year, when all the big guns go for the top of the charts. For an unsigned artist to go Top 5 at any time of the year is remarkable, to do it Xmas week is stunning. Alex has mobilised his supporters to get behind the release, in the same way Jon Morter mobilised people to join the R.A.T.M. campaign against the X Factor, he is now reaping the benefits and looks like having a huge hit. It's pointless criticising it on an A&R basis, it doesn't matter if you think it's great or shit, his fans are buying it in their droves and this without thousands of pounds in marketing spend. Rather this than a 1960 track about a bloody Donkey....

The Fat Controller	MY VERY VERY VERY VERY LAST POST OF THE YEAR... JK knockers!! FFS. The guy has spent his life promoting people and records...it is what he does and he does it brilliantly well...jesus wept...this chart that chart...it matters not one jot. The fact is is that we now all know who Alex Day is!!! If the internet had been about in the seventies/eighties JK would have been doing exactly the same. You see how this works?
