They should look to Madonna for marketing this record

#1 Post by Jareth »

One of the most important things (to me) is if they can actually get Radio 1 to play the new single (and Little Britain will help a hell of a lot if they're in the video) but apart from that I think they should go down the same route as Madonna did before her latest and single were released.

That is push this as a "return to their roots" record. A triumphant return to pop without all the experimenting and acoustic guitars! Madonna's new album wasn't even anything like her early stuff (it's very modern and electronic) but marketing it in this way worked wonders.

And even though they haven't been anywhere, people love a comeback. :D

I might like the song, but Boy - do they need Little Britain to make this a hit.

Does it matter that PSB was never as popular as Madonna?

Savvy Madge would have no qualms about selling herself out and rush-releasing Numb as a single :wink:
