The guys over at the Morrissey-Solo forums have been devising a plan for the last few weeks to use the new British chart rules to get Morrissey into the charts with a song that he hasn’t actually released as a single.

First a poll was done to find out which song would be chosen, and the winner was Life is a Pigsty from Ringleader of the Tormentors.

The week to start downloading was chosen as this coming week, 12-18 of February.

What this means is that sometime during the week of February 12-18, to take part in this experiment, you should download a legal copy of this one song from a reputable download provider, such as Woolworths, iTunes, HMV etc.

The official website of the campaign is http://getmozinthecharts.vze.com, they have a mailing list which is sending out updates at regular intervals to notify of the progress of the experiment. You can sign up using the form below;
