Project Proposal #2

My topic for the 2nd wave will be about a project that occured during the last couple months in the UK. The project was led by 4 popular YouTubers, including Charlie McDonnell, the owner of the 3rd most subscribed channel in the UK. They came together, along with the people of the internet and the television channel BBCSwitch, decided to hack the UK Top 40 charts. Together they composed a song like no other: it was written by the people of the internet. Through specific stages, the ChartJackers worked with their viewers on YouTube to collect lyrics, put them in order, pick a melody, and audition members for the band. The finished product grew to be number 38 on the UK Charts, and numer 1 on the Indipendent charts. I believe it is a trully inspirational project and I hope to write an equally inspirational article about it.

My course of action really just write down everything I know, and then embellish my piece with facts, like other songs that had gotten to the number they did on the charts and other information I would figure out for myself. I have been following the entire project as it has happened, so I already know most of what there is to know. In the next week I hope to finish all of my additional research and start to write out my draft. Potential problems I may face with this peice include connecting with the audience, for the project did occur in England, but it involved people with internet connections and the desire to create all over the world. I also worry if I can do the project justice in my writing. Other than that, I look forward to writing this piece. Notice how my first two pieces involve the internet? I'm addicted....
