Get Spurs In The Charts!

[Jacob09]

In celebration of our glorious cup final win over Chelsea, we’ve come up with a plan to let the rest of the nation know how proud we are of the team!

We, the fans, should try and get a Spurs related song into the top 40!

The charts start tallying up from Monday morning, so we might have a little catching up to do, but with 1.1 million proud Spurs fans around the globe we may even be able to get the 10,000 sales required to push for a top 10 slot!

We’ve had a look on iTunes and it appears to be pretty much devoid of any explicitly Spurs related songs apart from Tip Top Tottenham, which without being too disrespectful, is tosh.

Therefore we’ve decided to opt for Barry Manilow’s legendary anthem 'Can’t Smile Without You'. It’s a song that has often been sung at the Lane and and away trips it does epitomize the love we all feel for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

The idea is for everyone to go and download (legally, from iTunes) 'Can’t Smile Without You' by Sunday lunchtime. It only costs 79p and there are you may even be able to find free download vouchers online somewhere, so there’s no excuse. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD IT FROM iTUNES OR IT WON'T GET REGISTERED!

This is something that any fan can do, as it's not too expensive and even the least tech-savvy of us should be able to download a song from iTunes! You might say the plan was foolproof, or even Avram Grant proof!

Just type 'Can't smile without you' into iTunes' search function and it should be the top search result.

wouldn't it be nice to get Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur back in the charts by Chas & Dave? Jo Whiley played it twice yesterday on Radio One!!

That was my original idea, but it wasn't on itunes, I don't think Chas n Dave want to put their Spurs stuff on itunes, as it could alienate other fans

 

[mrboombarrakoomba]

good point mate. can't smile without you it is then!!

 

[Destroyer]

That would be great if Chas n Dave done a special for us, i'm sure they have had one up their sleeve for years -

i think their great, would love something to play at work

They had the Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur album on there but seem to have removed it now. I downloaded MacNamara's Band, Diamond Lights, and all the cup final songs. Shame really.

Great idea but I'd prefer GGTH too.

Q: Why does it have to be iTunes ? I don't know a great deal about the new compilation of the official singles chart (since they started including downlaods) but surely some other sites like Amazon etc. count towards it.

Also, people have short f*cking memories. Everybody used to moan about Windows, saying that the MAC operating system was better and MS had stitched up the market. Now, IMO, Apple have been doing exactly the same through compatibility, saturation marketing and promo tie-ins for several years yet nobody seems to bat an eyelid

I only found out about and heard the song "Can't Smile Without You" last season or the season before. How exactly is it a Spurs song? I've not once heard it played or sung at White Hart Lane.

It was sung a lot on the way to games (especially away games) and has stuck since, if you go on a supporters coach to a game, you're most likely to hear it!

If this doesn't work I want my .79p back.

You'd have a classic song though

There are 1.4 million fans in the UK alone! If foriegn fans wanted to help, they'd have to buy via the UK iTunes store since they're unlikely to count what US or EU consumers want.

It's probably not the best time of year to do it either, January is traditionally the low sales period.

I've got the exact figures from last week, they're surprisingly low. Around 4000 to get top 40

Well they're downright shocking for January!

I'd be very surprised if people would even realised that the song was anything to do with Spurs, which is pretty much the whole point!

 

[LadieK]

A record producer on the above link says he's interested in producing a Spurs song, I dunno if that's a better idea than using Barri Manilow's tune. I know we sing it for Spurs but it's not 'directly' linked

I'm pretty sure the people that run the charts may be slightly curious why a random Barry Manilow song is shifting a lot of records this week

 

[Davey-O]

Get Spurs to No1.

This is nothing to do with me. Its comes from Coys, and its on a few Spurs forums.
