It’s been quite a year for electronic music with a variety of albums and singles cracking the mainstream chart in a way many major labels didn’t think was previously possible. Now imagine what a vintage 12 months it would be if we could top off the year by ensuring a track from the dance world topped the charts for the UK coveted Christmas number 1 spot?
Well imagine no longer as a Facebook campaign has got underway to get the VIP edit of Boddika and Joy Orbison’s ‘Mercy’ to the top of the charts ahead of whatever dirge the X Factor will be releasing this December.
Headed by two producers under the monikers of DE$iGNATED and TÂCHES the group posted “If we are to get Mercy VIP to get anywhere near beating whatever colourful tripe spews from the jaws of the X-Factor this year, we’re going to need a hell of a lot of awareness.”
With Facebook likes currently sitting over 7,000 and support received from the likes of Disclosure and Skream with the latter promising he give away his back catalogue if it happens, it seems to us a small price to pay. So let’s get Mercy to number 1!
