Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 1----The record gets released2----Record company buys substantial amount of the records legitimately3----Kids see this shitty song rising in the charts and go out to buy4----Meantime shops struggle with getting enough copies in5----Record company sells their original stock back to the company as the brand new product making a minimal loss6----and there you have your wave of recognition and subsequent power buying!entirely theoretical but it would certainly account for such hefty salesalternatively the kids are just fuckin idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rass Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 i thought it was something to do with mobile and ringtone downloads effecting the charts?"butterfly biffing" aside it seems like the most legit reasoning to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Record companies have been buying in since the Beatles tho, so it hardly constitutes a new thing now, like it or not Crazy Frog got to number one because people wanted to buy it, same as novelty singles for years. Did Grandma get to number one because of conspiracies or because good novety singles always do well (see Mr Blobby).Yes it was hyped up but so is every chart single just about,people just wanted to buy it.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Main Agent Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I reckon the t.v. ad did it, the clever use of the black square of censorship made little kids intrigued as to what Crazy Frog's "thing" looked like.My mates primary school aged kid went online to download it after hearing about it in the playground.

The Boyz were starting to get a bit uppity and were arguing with Louis about how successful they'd been, how great they were and it was their talent that did it, not him. He then took each of them, in turn, out to his car and opened the boot to show it literally overflowing with Boyzone CDs."That's why yer feckin number one!"
