    When life gives you lemons, throw em back and say you want CASH instead!
  • A couple of facts....

    I Fought The Lloyds reached No 24 in the download charts but had everyone who paid for the text actually downloaded the song it would have been at No 5, no mean feat.

    Multiple buying of the text doesn't count, one mobile number text equals one vote.

    Edna Bucket, I'm sorry you feel the need to continually ridicule on this thread, I thought you normally kept this behaviour for the spammers on the Freebie Board, hey ho :rolleyes:

    You can catch Oystar on the It Pays To Watch More show here....

    I'm sorry if I offended you - I have tried to keep it light-hearted and tongue in cheek. But truth be told I am getting a bit tired of the relentless self-promotion, and having this awful stuff rammed down our throats continually here.

    Can we just accept that despite the unrelenting pressure people did "vote with their feet" NOT to buy it, it didn't get to No.1 and is now history, and please move on? Perhaps the thread could be locked or something in due course now that it has all run its course?

    I wish Oystar the genuine best of luck with their future music careers.

    Just one thing, do people *need* to download the song after texting? Or is texting enough to get the song in the charts?
    A post I made on first page.

    It's a shame that it turned out it was in fact the number of downloads, not number of purchases. It does make sense for it to be the number of downloads though unfortunately. At least at number 25 it gets a play and mention on the radio to many people who'll otherwise never have heard it.

    Is it time for another song? Need inspiration? From Another Brick in the Wall - "Hey, Martin, leave the banks alone" or from the Rolling Stones (We can't get no satisfaction".

    Better still, I think Martin should write a book about about the whole, sorry episode. Name and shame the muppets at the OFT and in the Courts.

    Did anybody go overdrawn downloading the song?

    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

    I sent the text, got the reply telling me to download or it wont count, however when I try to download it says order not found. :(

    hmm, I see this is a year old, perhaps the first post should be edited to explain this is no longer valid.

    Do they refund for situations like this?
