OK, messaged YV for any direction they could give us, and they did speak to Sirius. They need as many people requesting as possible. Sirius is on to us, so to speak, and so Your Vegas needs a larger number of people requesting, instead of a smaller number of people requesting often. I personally had only been using one email addy lately, so I've royally screwed up as far as that's concerned. So, instead of massive quantities, (or as Coyle would say, "mahssive, mahssive" quantities), let's make sure we're using all different addys in smaller quantities, and asking our friends to help as much as possible. If they're not willing, ask if you can use their name and email addy. :dntknw: Keep up with the bulletins and such, again remember not to sound desperate, just encouraging. Keep up with the phone calls as well.

But the band thinks you are doing amazing work, and thanks you very much. They are hopeful they can get back on the chart.

Well at least now we know why YV isn't getting ahead in the charts.
Whenever I request I usually rotate through my six email addresses and I just make up names, but maybe it's time to ask my friends if I can use their email addresses.

Thanks for the info Julie...it's good to have some official direction.

I'm off to recruit a few people to start requesting and to get some email addresses off my siblings so I can request more.

While it goes without saying that this news pisses me off BIG TIME :annoyed: let's just move forward with our new strategy. I guess I screwed up too, I've mostly been using one email addy just because it seemed easier and I was under the impression it wouldn't make a difference, and really why should it? Apparently the countdown has many more factors involved than just the "most requested;" I suppose they do computer analysis on email addys and decide, nope, too many from that one? Who cares if it's 100 requests each from 100 people? Oops, I requested once too many so now it doesn't count? But one request each from 1000 people does count? :dntknw: And I do think alot of the movement in the countdown is "created" by Sirius. The radio and music industry, gotta love it. :rolleyes: BUT enough on radio politics, there is SO much to be proud of; IMH is a top five song, that is a major achievement, they've gotten over 2 months of airplay and charted for 7 weeks. Incredible! I'm so glad you messaged the band; now we all know what we have to do. Get mad, then get moving! This is only the beginning! :cheer:

I had a feeling they were on to us!
I am still upset :annoyed: about it!!! Sorry! I am!

I don't think it's a computer generated thing at all. For example, I got a reply back this week and in the first sentence, they spelled my name correctly. Then, further down in the paragraph, they mispelled my name! Strange, eh?


Well, we know who's best, damnit! And if it takes using multiple emails and names, we shall do that!

Forward! Forward! Forward! We have come far :yahoo: !!!! BUT I WANT NUMBER ONE FOR THE GUYS!!!!!!!! They can get there! I know we can help them get there :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: !!!!!


:grouphug: Thanks for putting up with my tantrum :blush2: . I AM SO PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS! Soooooo...I will channel my anger into requests :D . Lots of them...with lots of friends and families addys!


Glad you got word from the guys, Julie! Thanks for messaging them!

I know, it's frustrating. :(

Hey, since we need to get as many peeps requesting as possible, how about as many of us as possible each check out the forum members list, claim a letter of the alphabet here, and then send a personalized email to each nonposting member that we haven't heard from in a while, and asking them to place a couple requests a day. We should send an email not a pm, when possible, so they're more likely to get it. Sound like a plan?

I'll take the A's. We'll work through the alphabet together til we're done. It's time to get in touch with non-posters anyways. We did it a while back this summer, and it's time for another round.

JUST be careful to look though at their profile where it says "last activity" before you email them. You should see a date. If there is no date and just a dash -- , I'd avoid them unless you know who they are, 'cause that means they never ever logged in, and who knows, they could be a spammer if that's the case. :giggle:

I have done through L...I know...overachiever...

I wonder how the whole calling Sirius thing works then...are they tracking the numbers?

Well....I am entirely too competative to let some other band squish Your Vegas out of the countdown....grrr.....They deserve the recognition!

Cool, sounds great girls! Robin, I got your message, just come in here and claim your letter chickie.

I've horded about seven emails and have a few of my own I'll be using. If we all use a wide variety but do less of each, and then reach out to as many peeps as we can, hopefully we can get back on track. Will they bump the guys back on? who knows, but it's worth a shot, so let's give it our all and see what happens!!!! We've got nothing to lose but a few minutes out of each day, and don't we owe that to the guys anyways for the great music they give us each day? Hells yes. :drinks:

:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

So, what letter are you stopping at, Jackie :lol: ?! Don't know what letter to begin with? I guess I'll start at P. And I guess it would never hurt if we did overlap and send two emails to the same person by accident.

Great idea! I think if we sent an email to everyone in our email address book, asking to please take time to request this week, that might help, too :dance2: !

just a reminder that some personalization seems like it will have a bigger effect, in my opinion at least. I've used their username in the subject line, hi so-an-so, and here's an example of what I wrote.

How are you?

Just wanted to say we miss you at the forum and hope you're well! Don't know if you've had a chance to check out the new Your Vegas dates, but I hope you'll get a chance to see them with Duran and Shiny Toy Guns at an upcoming show!

Also wanted to say that if you haven't had a chance, would you please consider requesting 'In My Head' by Your Vegas on Sirius AltNation? We're trying to keep the guys on the chart and every request counts. Maybe you've already been requesting and we appreciate it. I know life gets hectic, ugh, not enough time in the day. But it only takes a minute if you're able. Thanks angelkiss! :) The website is
www.sirius.com/altnation

Hope to see you on the forum or at a show sometime soon!

:) Julie

Since there's only one Q and that's Quinn...I'll take the R's.

I've also recruited some friends to start requesting and I got my sisters email address to use as well.

My friend Lisa that came to Cleveland with me told me she'd join here today and my friend Heather from DDM already joined. :D

Ladies, I will be happy to help with this later. I have to run to the store :frantic:. Let me know what letter you guys stop with. I was just now going to start with P, but Peggy is the first name :lol: and I know she's in OZ right now. Let me know! I will help, I just have to run. Will be back later :airkiss: !

:lol: I'm back like a zillion hours later :doh: :blush2: ! I SUCK! I am so sorry! I did request using multiple addys today and sent out a friend email asking for requests this week.
Sarah's birthday was today :party: ! We actually had her party yesterday, but I spent the majority of the day helping her open things (for the LOVE OF GOD!!!!! Barbie boxes are difficult to get into :annoyed: !) and playing with her. Pretty soon she won't want to play with her mamma anymore :cry: ! So, we had a fun day.

Anyway, did anyone get any response back from the emails you sent? Just curious :dance2: :yahoo: :cool: !

I have a good feeling about this week. I just know that Alt Nation will OPEN their eyes and ears and HEAR US!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
