			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just started a campaign to try and get the proper version of REM&#8217;s Everybody Hurts to chart higher than the charity single released next Sunday. Now before anyone starts on me I am aware of the following</p>
<p>1. This has been done before &#8211; Yes I&#8217;m aware that Tracy and Jon Morter did exactly this at Christmas. However their campaign raised £100k for the homeless which is a very good cause</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s wrong to take on a charity single &#8211; If the RATM4XMAS campaign taught us anything it&#8217;s that the single the campaign was opposing still sold and it still sold well. Furthermore as a donations page has been set up by me for this campaign, providing it takes off, more money will be raised for charity than if this campaign didn&#8217;t exist. I will also hopefully as long as it doesn&#8217;t violate the terms of any affiliate programmes I am on be posting a number of affiliate links to download the song and donating the revenue to the cause.</p>
<p>3. You have no hope of succeeding &#8211; probably not, whilst RATM4XMAS did succeed, that had weeks to prepare. We have days! But even if the campaign becomes even a fraction as successful as the last one it will still help a good cause</p>
<p>The facebook group can be found <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&amp;ref=nf&amp;gid=280401415923" target="_blank">HERE</a> and the just giving page for donations <a href="http://justgiving.co.uk/rem4haiti" target="_blank">HERE</a></p>
