BWRG 2nd week - #53.

[SloopJohnB]

Just a quick note: as I had previously written on this board, BWRG was about #30.000 in "music" on Amazon.fr. Yet Amazon.fr didn't have any copies left on Sept. 6th (Europe release date). Just how many copies of BWRG were Amazon.fr provided with? Two?

Well, he's scheduled for the Tonight Show in a couple of weeks.

Think this could have been coordinated a bit better, but I'm sure it will shift some units.

He should sing TCTTAFM

I think the album has been selling great

[Dave in KC]

Yes, that would be fine. But I would break into joyful tears if Bri did I've Got a Crush On You. The audience would soak it up and Jay would go home singing the song. Amazon would sell out again. 

[Runaways]

def should do i've got a crush.  TCTTAFM would be so cheesy and bad live.

UK news where BWRG is ending its first week on sale. I don't generally listen to radio much but my wife tells me Radio 2 has been playing TCCTAFM and IANS during the week. Can't hurt sales, they are probably the two tracks that the radio audience would be most likely to recognise and identify with.

I'd still like to see TCCTAFM released as a 45. Do a 'Wonderful' and chart it, generate some more interest in the album. I've not seen much in the way of promotion over here.

I am all for some good ol'time payola.

I am aware of somebody who, in the 70's and 80's, would help fix the charts for a certain big record label of the time. He was involved in shipping records to the record shops, back then of course most of them not part of huge chains. He'd find the weaknesses of the shop managers and encourage them to report false sales by such tacticts as buying them bottles of whiskey or crates of beer or sessions with ladies of the night.
