Bum Rush the Charts: More Numbers
I got an e-mail from Paul Durham, Black Lab's singer, over the weekend. As you'll recall, a song from the band was used as part of an unusual online campaign made by podcasters last week.
Here's what he had to say:
To me, one interesting thing is that five hours into Bumrush, the iTunes chart shut down for 40 hours, just completely froze. I wonder where we would have ended up if the charts had been updating regularly as Apple says it should...
In any case, it seems clear that with more than 14,000 purchases on Thursday, the song was one of the most purchased iTunes downloads in the US, and that the campaign made an impact all over the world.

Isn't this a little like when we ridicule the Germans for loving David Hasselhof? I don't know what it means to be the #2 rock song downloaded from the Netherlands.

Good point, gnom. But what about all the field mice?
