at least do something constructive like try to trend on twitter or something. that's marketing. threatening your fans that if they don't buy your music you're quitting is some sort of blackmail bullshit.

Pretty much this.

This guy sounds like a huge egotistical dick.

Am I the only one that doesn't view this as shameless promotion or whatever everyone's calling it in here? Punchline are great dudes and can get to the number one spot. Would it be any different than someone working a job saying, "If I don't get the promotion I'm quitting and finding a new job?" Because stuff like that happens every day, yet for some reason, people are making this out like Chris is bad for doing this.

Love these guys but I don't think this is the right way to get people to buy your EP.

wow. what a buzzkill all you kids are.

I don't know how serious it really is, but it's honestly time for Punchline fans to put up or shut up. if you are a fan, this is the time to support them. I know I will be buying the EP and probably gifting it to a couple friends as well (depending on the pricing). As well, I will be posting about it everywhere. That's all I can do.

Do your part.

I wish you luck in your future endeavors, Chris.

I will "Like" this and agree. I'll be buying it and helping them get to number one. The rest of the people complaining about it or mocking it can go ahead and not buy it just to try to prove themselves right.

I love this band. Sure hope they make it.

The big difference is that at a normal job, your employer can give you the promotion, and the employer pays the consequences if you quit. In this situation, his employer is the band/label/whatever, and he's asking the CONSUMERS to "give him the promotion". A more accurate comparison would be someone at a company working on commission wanting to be top salesman, and telling everyone to buy from him to make him top salesman or he'll quit.

Either way, I'm not a fan of the band, and I'm sure it'd be great if they got #1, but this doesn't seem like a very mature way to reach #1.

I don't know the band, but I'm buying a copy of this album because this is a damn ballsy move.

Chris is far from a dick. You should all buy the ep if only to make sure no talent ass clowns like rhianna lmfao and bruno mars dont take that #1 spot next week!
