A few days late on this, but check out Bum Rush the Charts for a great idea you can use in your own marketing.
This was an experiment by followers of podsafe and independent musicians to push a selected 99-cent single to the top of the "most popular" list on iTunes for one day. Did it work? Here are the results...
Overall Top 100 Songs Chart
Netherlands: 15
Norway: 55
Canada: 53
US: 99
Germany:98
Sweden: 98
Not bad, considering there are hundreds of thousands of songs on iTunes.
More impressive to me was the press these guys were able to get. Washington Post, BBC, San Jose Mercury, Billboard, Spin, CBC, and Business Week were just a few of the media outlets which have Bum Rush the Charts a mention.
Expect more from this project in the future, with other songs being selected. Get on their mailing list to stay updated.
