Hammer 10 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Good on R1 - it really is a horrible and tasteless form of protest. If people really wanted a proper protest song, why not pick a rock/punk song from the 80s that was a directly influenced by Thatcher? As Ben Cooper says, this is essentially celebrating the death of someone who hasn't even been buried yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelMJH 12 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It is an awful campaign, I much prefer the one to get Fandango's theme in the charts Quote I am Burdened with Glorious Purpose - Loki Laufeyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin 10 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I saw that the Big Top 40 Show just did not play it or talk about, but that what you can do with a "fixed" chart for Capital and Heart.... (I say it is fixed becuase as far as I know it take in download and radio play on the networks so they can make sure only songs from station playlist get on the chart.)
