The plan: To get
Ebenezer's Carol, by
The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, to No. 1 in time for Christmas. A proper steampunk Christmas song for Christmas No. 1!
What we need to do to achieve this: 1) For
Ebenezer's Carol to chart it needs to sell roughly 8,000 copies. The single needs be downloaded
as a single, and not as part of the A Very Steampunk Christmas EP. It's available now from iTunes, eMusic and Amazon.
2) So, forward this message to all your friends (be they steampunks or otherwise) but remind them that they must buy the song by itself for it to get into the singles chart.
3) Blog about this, post a link on your Facebook page, Tweet about it, but most importantly - buy the
single Ebenezer's Carol!
4) Arrange events themed around this, call the local press, use your contacts - whatever you've got - and we could really make this happen!
This is a chance for steampunk fans to really make themselves heard and make a difference for the future of Christmas. The fate of
Ebenezer's Carol and Christmas music itself is in your hands! Let's make Christmas 2010 a Very Merry Steampunk Christmas!
X Factor 2010 winner Matt Cardle's single rolls on to the shelves this week and Facebook users have already made their feelings about his Biffy Clyro cover clear. But who else is in the running for this year's Christmas number one?
