I went to Croydon last Wednesday to do a spot of shopping. While I was there I saw the two buskers I usully see there singing the song they usually sing, but this time there was a bigger crowd around them. Me, being the nosy person I am, went over to see what the kerfuffle was about. They were singing to promote their single, Kiss On The Lips. A lady came over and gave me a leaflet saying that the single is out now in Virgin Megastore for £1.99 and that they were releasing the song to show Simon Cowell what he is missing. Since they were just outside Virgin, I went in to see if they had the single and there were indeed people at the desk snapping up copies.

I was a bit skeptical so I gave it a miss as I was sure that as they were only promoting in this part of London and Surrey, the single couldn't possibly make the top 40.

Today, to my disbelief, I checked the charts to see who was rising and falling and there at number 21 was The Dualers with Kiss On The Lips. After more research, I found that they had no record deal or distributer and had to market, promote and stock the singles themselves. They had to convince Virgin and HMV to stock the single themselves.

This is such a shock to me because it seems like years that they have been out on North End, Croydon singing that song and now it's a top 40 hit.

Has anybody heard it or seen the single in their local music store?
