'You & I' was never played live so it would be a useless #1 song if you succeed in your plans ;-)

White Queen is not really commercial enough.
PS I haven't mentioned #1.

I will only support said plan if DoRo can come up with an appropriate montage video.

What makes "You and I" more commercial than anything else in the Queen catalogue?

You and I is freakin' awesome, and I think fd has a good idea on his hands. The Queen community has been fighting amongst itself since the Q&PR project (and even before that). Let's come together for once. It's a great, great song. I want to see Brian comment on it on his Soapbox.
I was having erection problems until I saw this thread.
Thanks Queenzone.

Wow, you're funny. Oh how everyone will be impressed by your witty comments.
Queenzone doesn't have to be like this you know. Someone with a bit of bottle could break the age old tradition of derision, cynicism and mocking that is so evident on here. Clearly that won't be you.
It's just an idea to get the group back in the charts for heaven's sake! Ok, so you don't like the idea, you think it's a non-starter, fine, I can live with it, but do you all have to hunt like a pack of wolves..isn't there anyone on here big enough to stand up and break the mould?

It's a fine idea, but I don't understand why it would have to be "You & I" other than to attempt to provide Deaky with another hit that's not a remix for the first time in God knows how long.
Couldn't it be a better more powerful tune than that?

I emailed Brian about this last year:
Hi Brian
"Can someone tell me why 'You and I' isn't released as a single, like right NOW?! NTL/Virgin are using it as a promo track and it sounds great!"
His reply to me via email was this:
"I have no idea! I'm sure John would like the idea! (It's his song!)
No idea at all. But maybe I know someone who does ..."

fairydandy - sorry but I think you set the tone of this thread yourself, please do not blame QZ. Actually, I did not believe that you are serious about this but I begin to think that you are?
Please read the Rules for Chart Eligibility
http://www.theofficialcharts.com/docs/Official%20UK%20Charts%20Singles%20Rules%20October%202007.pdf
it says under
1.0 Genuine Sales
Actions which will be considered a breach of these rules
....
b) purchasing records or causing records to be purchased other than as a genuine consumer purchase
....
g) any other activity intended unfairly to influence chart positions.

Even if such a campaign would lead to a possible chart entry, the sales might be removed from the data used to compile the charts. If 7digitalstore suddenly sold a high number of an old song, the data compiling software would compare these sales with the other shops providing the data and might exclude the data from the sales charts.
It would not only be a waste of money and energy, it would also throw a very bad light on the band and us fans.
Yes, it would be funny if "You and I" appeared in the charts all of a sudden but outside the fan boards not many would see the joke. It's a breach of the rules, after all.
I am also very sorry that this thread leads to more hostility between fans from QZ and QOL.

No. You set the tone of this thread YV, not me. Without your 'fd should tell us what he wants, rather than just supply a link' nonsense, none of this would have happened.
Clearly the Brenski girl cannot even fathom out in what order the posts were made, but that's another story for another day. She's clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
It's a group of fans buying a track from their favourite band. No big deal...and certainly not in breach of the rules for chart eligibility.

Oh shut up already, fd.
You are the only one telling us what to think and do, or to "stay away" even. This is not a suggestion from you, it's becoming more of "you HAVE to".
This is clearly nothing but a fanboy's wet dream now.

fairydandy, my reply was to Pieter and it was totally factual and not offensive at all. You do not get many replies to a thread when you just post a link without telling people what it's about. Plus your original subject line was something about 99p and had no Queen connection at all.
You should calm down, really.

fairydandy - I've read this thread and the only aggressive tone comes from your posts. BTW ypu probably don't know who you're attacking, do you ? :-)
Now to topic - Queen have produced MUCH more good songs which would deserve to get to charts, You and I is an average song and Cool Cat is one of their worst songs ever. Why not some of Brian's classics, like Keep Yourself Alive, '39, Tie Your Mother Down, ...
Or Freddie's Liar, Mustapha, ...
Roger's Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, Sheer Heart Attack, Cumming Soon ...
John's Spread Your Wings, Back Chat ...
