4/22/09 The Additives at #2 on the Indie Pop Charts!
We were pleasantly surprised to find "Blood Red Diamonds" climbing up the OurStage.com charts in the Indie-Pop category. The song has made it to the Quarter Finals in the number 2 position in just 170 plays (vs. the #1 song at 7,400 plays). Winning the Indie-Pop category would put us in a pretty good position (1/10th or so) to win April's $5,000 Grand Prize. First we must win the category. Please help judge in this channel and you could help us win $5,000! If you have the time, please help us out by clicking here.. plus we know you are bored at work! Quarter Finals start APRIL 24th! Don't worry we'll be bugging you again...and again until the end of the April. .
