BBC Radio1 have decided not to playlist the song (not even on their C -List) yet again.
If this song had received more support from the fans then maybe they would have playlisted it, the song would get many million more listeners in the UK and I'm sure the sales would benefit as a result. Despite many requests for support in this forum and others, few fans have seen fit to support the song.
Currently this song is sitting at #31 in the midweek charts and is likely to drop further by the time the new chart is announced on Sunday night. If it does, we may well see a Michael Jackson single not chart in the top 40. It still seems ludicrous to me that it this can happen, but it can. Despite some of you saying this doesn't matter because it isn't new material etc, it does. This song is not simply a re-release, it is a new version of an old song. A re-release that was intended to mark the celebration of the Thriller 25 project and intended to become a hit single.
We, the fans, have let Michael Jackson down. More importantly though, is that he has let himself down. No promotion for the single from either him or the record company have meant that few people know this single exists. If he truely wants to reinvigorate his career and become succesful he needs to make a bigger commitment to promoting his material.

If anyone is interested, I'll repost the radio contact information below:
The Girl Is Mine 2008 entered the UK chart at number 78 in its first week and is at 44 in its second week due to downloads alone.
This song received virtually no airplay in its first week of digital release, but it did start to gain ground in the second week.
