At the time of this post, Allstar Weekend’s video Dance Forever is at #2 on iTunes music video chart passing up the likes of superstars Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber (only Miley Cyrus is currently holding #1). This is a surprising turn of events for the pop band. Signed in 2009 by Hollywood Records, the band have been promoting themselves on Disney Channel, tours, and their various social media portals as they attain their musical dreams. Whether putting out youtube videos that range from documentary to hilarious spoofs or ustreaming while taking questions from fans, Allstar Weekend has shown a remarkable devotion to communicating with fans however they can.
Dance Forever is currently their second video on iTunes following the catchy A Different Side of Me which saw a lot of exposure thanks to Disney Channel (where I first saw them). I was hooked when I saw their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/outerspaceallstar. They will begin their first headlining tour this June coinciding with the release of their album Suddenly. So go ahead and give these guys a listen. If you like what you hear, buy the Dance Forever video from iTunes and help dethrone Miley Cyrus as a display of support for an up and coming band that also happen to be very focused on their fans.
