Jeff Buckley Competition Coming Soon On WekaStar

**************************************************As a tribute to the enduring and expanding popularity and critical acclaim that continues to be devoted worldwide to Jeff Buckley more than a decade after his death. GRACE AROUND THE WORLD - to be issued in two separate multi-disc packages -provides the most comprehensive and exciting musical portrait of the artist seen to date. Executive produced by Mary Guibert (Buckley's mother), GRACE AROUND THE WORLD focuses on previously unreleased live performances circa 1994-95, in concert and television locales ranging from the U.S. and UK, to Germany, Japan and France. Accompanying the 108-minute GRACE AROUND THE WORLD DVD will be an audio CD counterpart. A special limited-edition deluxe package of GRACE AROUND THE WORLD will also contain the one-hour documentary DVD, Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley, thus totaling 169 minutes (nearly three hours) of Jeff Buckley footage for his fans. In advance of this summer's 15th anniversary of the release of Grace, Buckley's landmark debut album (August 1994), the two GRACE AROUND THE WORLD packages will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting June 2nd through Columbia/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.

***NEWS***

Jeff Buckley's official website at Columbia Records have posted Chantelle's press release, and posted a link to the group!
http://www.jeffbuckley.com/news.asp?id=134

7Digital are backing the campaign, and a company insider has informed us that "...currently it's the number 1 selling track on 7digital.com for this week. Outselling Miss Burke 2-1!" Amazing news! we need to keep the momentum going and keep on buying the track!!

Apologies all - we've officially run out of officer places now!

Thanks to:
Colin Murray and Edith Bowman
We would like to say thank you to both of these superb Radio 1 DJ's for their continued support to make the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah Number one.
I quote Colin Murray, "IF YOU OWN A RECORD SHOP, OR WORK IN ONE, PLEASE GO AND COVER UP ALL THE X-FACTOR VERSIONS WITH JEFF BUCKLEY SONGS. LETS MAKE THIS NUMBER 1!"

Also thanks to online publications Gobshout and Noize Makes Enemies who have helpled us by posting details about this group on their news feeds - see below for links.

Here is the Youtube link to the song - thanks RB

If you want to change your profile pic to the group photo, you can find it under the pictures section of the group.

Just to make it clear:
1. We're not attacking Alexandra.
2. We KNOW the money goes to Sony! It isn't about the money. (And no, the money from Jeff's version DOESN'T go to Cowell!)
3. We know Leonard Cohen wrote Hallelujah!!!
4. We aren't annoyed 'just because it's a cover'.
5. You MUST only download one copy of this song. Just encourage other people to get it. We need UNIQUE purchases from customers (this is the offical word from the Official Charts Company).

I have just downloaded a song for the first time in my life and do you know something - it was f**king easy! It took around 2 minutes and now i have the greatest song of all time in my possession (again!). My point is this - if i can do it as a technophobe (that's not a fan of techno music by the way), then anyone can. We must be Number 2 at least - but if you join this group then download the single for all the above reasons and do it NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW. Deal??

Jeff is OFFICIALLY Number 2 - well done to Alexandra but more importantly, well done to you, the people who downloaded Jeff and raised this huge awareness of his incredible song. We have have lost the battle but i believe that in attaining this place in the charts that we WON the war. Millions now know Jeff and true music fans competed with the X Factor. So what is next?? Many suggestions are coming in - let us know what we should do.....and thanks again
