Leon Jackson's fans have become increasingly fed up with Sony's management of his career. Leon was supposed to be releasing a 2nd single in December and there was quite a buzz about it after he performed on Children in Need which Sony failed to capitalise on. Now a new song Stargazing has been released to radio but again Sony are not confirming a release date or promoting it. Stargazing is a really beautiful ballad which is perfect for Valentines Day!

So Leon's fans on LeonJacksonmusic.com and on the Leon Jackson Appreciation thread on Digital Spy have decided to take matters in our own hands. We are designating Valentines Day as Stagazing Day and are trying to get it promoted so that people will download it this week.

Here's a link to Stargazing, please listen with an open mind and give Leon a chance!

'stargazing' needs around 6000 downloads to get into the top 40 and, since the download campaign begun by leon fans on midnight on saturday, 'stargazing' is doing very well.. the big download starts this friday midnight.. i had a look at itunes and hmv charts this morning, although there are other download sites which also count towards the charts, and i notice on i-tunes it hovers just outside their 'vocal' top 10.. (his other song 'creative', and his album 'right now' has been in that top 10 every time i've looked) and on hmv it is #34!.. this is an indication that people have heard of the campaign and supporting it.. dont forget there is no official video.. other than those made by his fans and put on youtube.. and some of those are brilliant.. there is no physical cd.. and there is no promotion from his record company.. a great start has been made towards achieving the target of 6000.. it can be done.. the campaign needs your support.. let's get 'stargazing' into the top 40 on sunday.. can we do it? yes we can!

‘tis friday the 13th, on the eve of international stargazing day.. stargazing is #13 on i-tunes vocal chart.. creative is #7, and the album right now is #9.. meanwhile on hmv’s download top 40.. stargazing is #32.. celebration time is almost here.. let the countdown begin for the mass download of stargazing at midnight tonight..

here is what henry v has to say about midnight tonight..

He which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Leon:
He that outlives this day and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Leon.

and william wallace says of midnight tonight..

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell Syco that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR LEON!

can we do it? yes we can!

Getting it to No.2 on the VOCAL charts?? Perhaps he should focus on trying to get it into the top 100 of the iTunes chart.

You know it's very unfair to blame the record label. The fact they didn't release a CD single of Creative was irrelevant. They sell the square root of bugger all and if a song is going to be a hit, it will be with or without a CD single. It didn't need an official release date, because it was already available. If you should blame anyone, it should be the media for not supporting the record, not Sony.
