I only got a couple of emails back yesterday out of 250 requests. :huh:

This morning I put in a bunch of requests and got a good amount back.

I hope our efforts this week move them up...I don't have a lot of faith in Sirius.

I've been bad again the last two days, things are so hectic. Requests only take a few minutes, I know, but really doing a significant number like I usually try to? :dntknw: I just haven't been able to this week. If they do well, it'll be no thanks to me. I had been doing them in big chunks around 10PM the last few wks once the dust settles at my house, but the last two nights I couldn't even keep my eyes open past 9:30. Ugh. I really hate this time of year.

Lana, if you're reading this, I haven't forgotten about you, got your email and will get it all squared away. ;)

Don't forget phone calls either. I make a couple on my way home from work. You don't need to speak to anyone or record anything...just follow the prompts and select Your Vegas. :cool:

I try to do some one way or the other of my commute. That's the only time of day I don't have children talking to me :giggle: so it's my much needed moment of zen. One with my music. Ohmmmmmm.........

But I did a bunch just now and will hopefully keep myself awake tonight to do more!
:frantic:

Yeah, my week has been pretty bad too. I have been super busy.
I had a lab report for physics due this week and it just so happened that my partner is a lazy bum that doesn't do anything. He's nice and all, but when it comes to getting things done, he's not the best.

OFF TO REQUEST!!!!

Haha, I never had to do lab reports in Biology or Chemistry, but my physics teacher just loves making us do lab reports and I hate him for it. :lol:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but :cry: they appear to have dropped off the chart. :upset:

Definitely seems that altnation has a big hand in the countdown. 'Cause they would have been #1 for a while, first off :annoyed: and they'd still be on the countdown. I know the other bands have plenty of fans but we've got a lot of people requesting too, and we're requesting more than ever. So frustrating.

We should still keep going though.

They had a great run on the chart, made it to 19, and then 11, then 9, then FIVE :yahoo: then 8, then 17, if my memory serves me correctly. They spent at least 6 weeks on the chart and that's huge. You all rock. :notworthy:

I'm a little frustrated that they dropped off.

Now we just have to work harder to get them back on.

I requested at least 150 times a day all week. Some days I even exceeded 300 requests! I didn't start with phone calls till the end of the week though. :blush2:

This week I'm going to aim for 150-200 requests per day plus 10 phone calls minimum. I find if I set a goal for myself it's easier to do it.

I agree Kerri, once we started setting goals I know for me at least I had a much easier time! I had three days this week I was under 100 requests, but the others I was over 100, and I know you all were working hard, Kerri you've been kicking butt. It's possible and likely that Sirius keeps the countdown "fresh" (in their opinion, not ours) by rolling peeps who have been on the chart for a while.

Aw Michele I know it's discouraging, but for anyone who wants to feel better, take some time to read this thread from the start. I just did, and it really is exciting, got my spirits lifted...... seeing the progression of the band moving ahead on Sirius, gaining plays and chart rank......... and especially when you look at the dates.... we're talking end of August, ALL of September and ALL of October, they were played on Sirius and on the chart, and they are still being played (their first November play happened at 1:30 this morning).

So don't lose heart, I think this would be the perfect time for SOMEONE WE KNOW to release another single we can request. :wink: Hint hint, nudge nudge.

Here's a quick look at what YV and fans have to feel good about. No small feat here, this is all really major and everyone should feel really good. And we can keep requesting.

Sept. 13- #20
Sept. 20- #16
Sept. 27- #11
Oct. 4- #9
Oct. 11- #5
Oct. 18- #8
Oct. 25- #17

Seven weeks on the chart. When you look at it in those terms, you should feel very VERY proud and excited, and like your effort really counted for something. Sirius is just working like an old school teacher and shooting for a bell curve, shame on them, naughty naughty, but there's a lot to feel positive about too, so chins up, buttercups. Keep requesting, and keep the faith! :high5:
