Greetings my friends,

We are less than two weeks away from the big Hobbit promo. Right now, I only have 13 folks signed up to the Top the Charts list. At that rate, I'm not gonna do much damage for the big promotion Hobbit Day.

So let me start by reminding you what this is about and what's at stake…

I started Top the Charts as a way to push bands to the top of the charts on Amazon and iTunes. Last May, we pushed Poitin to #3 on iTunes and to the top of various Amazon folk charts because of help from folks like you.

That's a big snub at the record labels who pretty much buy the charts. We're doing the same with fan passion and support. That's why it's SO important to get your help on these charts.

Here's how you can help:

1. Review the album on Amazon or iTunes.
Reviews are super important as a way to show others just how good the album is. My Victims of Irish Music album has a good 30+ reviews. It's one of the top selling albums for Irish Music on iTunes.

If I have 30+ reviews, non-fans too will consider buying the album or at least the single. So post a review:

iTunes
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dont-go-drinking-with-hobbits/id482755920

Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Go-Drinking-With-Hobbits/dp/B006CBSWO2/

2. Start talking about the album on your Facebook, Twitter, on your personal Blog or your other social networks. They can go to https://marcgunn.com//drinkingwithhobbits/ to sign up to the mailing list.

You can post something like this:

Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits. Because we're gonna send Hobbits to the Top of the Charts on Amazon and iTunes. Join Marc Gunn's Chart Topping campaign at https://marcgunn.com//drinkingwithhobbits/

3. Finally, on September 22nd, join me in buying that one song, “Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits” on either or both of those marketplaces.

Thanks again for your help!

Get started on this and I'll give you an update as it progresses.
