Okay,before I do start to explain about this campaigin,I do realise there will be many GA fans who will be sceptical about this,particularly as a campaign was set up in 2009 to get 'Untouchable' into the top 10. I was apart at that campaign,in that I downloaded the song,and was gutted like many other fans that it failed to get 'Untouchable' into the chart posistion that it truly deserved. A couple of weeks ago,I was thinking over,would it be really possible to get 'Untouchable' to No.1 this year. At the time,I was not optimistic,I admit and said "No way,top 10,is realistic,but No.1,get a life!" So I left it at that. But I was listening to a music channel a few days ago and they were playing 'Untouchable' and I kept thinking "Wow,this is such a brillaint song!" I realised,that,hey,it may not get NO.1,but we can sure as hell try to make it possible!
I know that a lot of you heard,that the main reason the last campaign didn't work was because most fans downloaded from Nokia,myself included,as it was the cheapest way to go. But,now,that we did know why it charted so low despite efforts of the campaign,we can now try again!
I completely understand if a lot of you will not want to participate - it's understandable for fans to be dead set against participating - particularly after last time. But I will ask you,to at least read my post and idea before completely making your mind up. Again,even after you read and you still don't want to participate,that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion,after all,even when it is Girls Aloud,aha.
I was planning on setting up an email account,emailing all the group members and fully outlining the plan to them,so they have no uncertainities. Links will of course be included and the campaign will fully be explained so that fans don't go downloadingOkay,before I do start to explain about this campaigin,I do realise there will be many GA fans who will be sceptical about this,particularly as a campaign was set up in 2009 to get 'Untouchable' into the top 10.

Before we even start promoting the campaign and getting media attention,we neeed to get organised. As it stands,the group has 60 members,looooong way to go before we get a number that will ensure the song gets No.1 I Secondly,to promote the campaign,obvs we need to promote. So we need to advertise on places such as Twitter,Facebook,Bebo and Myspace. Basically,anywhere there's fans! Also,if any sties dedicated to the girls could help out,that would be a major help.
Just to remind you,the Sites that
DO count towards the charts are listed as follows:
ITUNES (Please try and D/L from here as it's the biggest site in the UK to count towards the charts)
AMAZONPLAY.COM NOKIA DO NOT COUNT!!!!Thirdly,obviously media is a big way to get the campaign noticed. An idea I had to get the song noticed would be to maybe text into music channels like STARZ and request for the Untouchable video to be played. Also,to request radio stations to play Untouchable would be a massive help. Newspapers and teen mags,I'm sure,would be able to give the campaign a mention. But we can't do that,until we get a good amount of members.
Lastly,the date. The idea is for fans to download the song in the last week of June to tie in with Cheryl's birthday. June is also nearly 4 months away,so it does gives the page a lot of time to get members.
I know A LOT of you will be apprehensive about contributing to the campaign,seeing as it did fail the last time and a lot of you will think a No.1 will be impossible to achieve. But IT IS GIRLS ALOUD and I know that they do have thousands of fans that want them back together. Hey,you never know! If this works,maybe GA will announce a come-back date
Thing is,I do want to try this and I've spoken to other fans who want to try it do. It may work,it may not work. But we can't know,until we try,right?
