Mika's naked blog promise fails to result in chart success

Mika's promise of a naked video blog if 'We Are Golden' reached the top three of the Big Top 40 fell short, with the track peaking at number eight.

Mika told his fans yesterday that he'd film a naked video blog if they got his single 'We Are Golden' to the tippy top of the Big Top 40 (well, top three).

As previously reported, the Big Top 40 is the chart aired by the commercial radio network, which takes iTunes download stats very much into the mix, meaning that listeners can affect the chart by downloading tracks while the show airs (up to 6pm).

It was with that in mind that Mika made the nudity promise via Twitter just before the radio show started at 4pm. But despite, or perhaps because, of the promise, Mika's track only made it to number 8 in the Big Top chart. And thus the world was saved from his nakedness.
