Storm The Charts

Here is an interesing new Facebook initiative. After a Facebook campaign managed to get Rage Against the Machine to number 1, Wes White, formerly of Glastonbury's Emerging Talent Competition has started a Facebook group to storm the whole top 40!

The idea is simply to get a large group of independent musicians and pool their following in order to cross promote other independent artists. If the group can gather enough momentum and its followers then actively buy singles from those artists, we might see a number of independent artists cropping up in the top 40. The dream is to take the top 40 by storm and ideally get 40 independent artists monopolising the chart. This is no easy task as realistically, to knock the likes of Lady Gaga out of the charts, independent artists would need to be selling tens of thousands of downloads a week. At any rate it is a great initiative which will hopefully go some way to changing the face of the British music industry.
