I have a way for overseas fans like us to legally download "safe" to support westlife and as well as their album gravity from any website but itunes,
the fact that JLS and take that have multiple versions of their release is really unfair for westlife who only has one version of both the single and the album.
so I think we could manage to add some extra sales for westlife by downloading the single and the album off amazon.co.uk and hmv.com despite geographical restriction ,I live in the US, and I have just recently downloaded rihanna's only girl from amazon.co.uk as an effort to keep take that away from No.1 lol.
Westlife have a very huge overseas fanbase, who really want to buy their music but just cant, and now we finally can. Downloading is really an advantage since it is cheaper than physical CDs plus it wont charge you for shipping lol .
This is the digital era of music, if you want to collect, please just buy 1 physical copy of safe or gravity because buying multiple copies at one store at the same time WON'T count as multiple copies sold because they are from the same receipt (from what i've heard), so instead, we can just buy the single and album with separate receipts (request the cashier when you check out) or better yet buy it from many stores and download it from many websites since it costs less to download while still counted as one copy.
back to the overseas download mission
if we can get around 100 oversea fans to download the single and album, their UK sales will go up by 200 copies (from hmv.com and amazon.co.uk , if anyone knows any similar website please let me know, the more websites to download the better). we can spread this out through twitter, facebook and fansites where most of the international fans are, I know westlife.us, westlife.gr, and westlife.cn have a bunch of fans overthere lol.
of course 100 fans and 200 downloads more don't make any difference, but at least it is our nice little effort to support westlife while we can , and if we can get around 5000 overseas fans to download "safe" from 4 different websites, then 20000 copies can make a huge difference.
and to do this you will have to change your local IP address to a UK IP address and have a credit card in hand (VISA, American express, mastercard or anything popular will work)
Please help get westlife to No.1 with their first original single in 8 years lol, otherwise they'll keep releasing covers as singles
