Bum Rush The Charts

This is a cool idea. To show the awsome power of social media in action and to send the music biz a big message, a group have got together and have come up with the idea of getting an idependent music artist to number one in the ITUNES music charts for one day, 22nd March 2006. They are asking everyone to purchase this song from ITUNES on this day. And they have signed up as an affiliate of the iTunes Music Store, and every commission made on the sale of the chosen song by Black Lab called "Mine Again" will be donated to college scholarships, partly because it's a worthy cause, but also partly because college students are among the most misunderstood and underestimated groups of people by big media.

The date for the combined effort is 22nd March. You can find out more about this at their web site at http://bumrushthecharts.blogspot.com/
