U.K. Iron Maiden fans are collectively trying to get their favorite band back on the U.K. charts for Christmas. And what better place to congregate than Facebook?
A Facebook group called Iron Maiden For Christmas No.1 is trying to gather enough support to get the classic Maiden tune to #1 in time for Christmas.
It's a bit too early, but starting Dec. 14th, they are hoping enough Maiden fans buy the track and stream it to propel it to #1. The official message on the page reads:
“For those involved in the various Xmas #1 campaigns of the past (in particular the RATM one) you’ll appreciate how much of a laugh it is. Well we’re big Maiden fans and seeing them snatch the Christmas #1 would be brilliant”.
“From 14th December 2014 we will ALL be buying a digital download of the track Number of the Beast to hopefully make it the NUMBER ONE of the Beast!”.
We hope you U.K. fans can do it. Keep up with the Facebook page for more updates. For now, here's the official music video.
