According to Meltzer's update today, there's a campaign to get Shawn Michaels' entrance theme "Sexy Boy" to #1 in the UK on the week beginning 7th January. The guy who started the campaign says it's a slow chart week, and is looking to take advantage of it by getting wrestling fans to download the song.
Well, those who haven't illegally downloaded it over the past several years anyway. I say good luck, because getting a Top 75 hit even in early January is harder than you may think...

beacuse people buy lots of CD's in the lead up to christmas, then lots of people spend their gift vouchers/christmas money in January, its often a good idea to release a single in february. Because it doesn't take many sales to make an impact

I won't be buying it, but, I hope it does.
Hell, they should've had it going for Christmas #1. That would've been awesome.

What version of the song is it? The one that Michaels uses to the ring, or the standard crappy CD version? Or heck, the Vince McMahon version?

I think a lot of people would've bought 'Sexy Boy', just to see them not get it. Plus, that X-Factor guy is terrible and won't last five minutes. |

This time next year... hell, next MONTH, you won't remember him, but that doesn't stop a load of brain-washed idiots from listening to the marketing ploy & eating up whatever Simon Cowell puts in front of them. Girls Aloud are the only good thing to ever come from Pop Idol/X-Factor type shows anyway... (Oooh... Nadine...). |

Why exactly does it matter if it hits #1?

Why exactly does it matter if it hits #1? Well, it would probably generate the biggest "WTF?" reaction ever by people who don't watch that wacky 'FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE!, OH, DID I TELL YOU IT'S FAKE? wrestling. I think the reaction alone would be worth it, plus hearing it on the radio. |

They may be good for a shag, but I wouldn't want to listen to their "music" |

The sad truth is, it really would be an improvement to the usual Christmas #1's we get.

i can't see it myself. leon from x-factors single is out like today, so there will still be a load of sales for him in january. plus, rhydian (the guy who came second, and was so popular that people are starting a campaign to get the decision overturned) is gonna be releasing one late january, so he'll probably rack up a few sales. coupled with the fact that loads of albums are coming out to take money out of our precious pockets, i doubt anyone would buy it, as most people who would have already downloaded it. and because i mark for the rhyddler, here's the song he was gona release before leon beat him: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PgpWrxgsZ-E |
