CNN producer note
iReport — As millions of Michael Jackson fans anxiously await Dr Conrad Murray's return to court today, some of them are finding something else to do with their fingers, other than biting off their nails.
In an Off the wall attempt to get Michael Jackson to No.1 on the first anniversary of his death, a mass purchase of 'We've had enough' begins today. Having shamelessly stolen the idea from the facebook campaign to get Rage Against the Machine to Xmas No.1 in 2009, the creators have gathered fans in their thousands, who have pledged to download the track on the day Murray returns to court.
'We've had enough' is available on the Ultimate Collection (2004) but was never released as a single in its own right, despite being a favourite amongst fans.
So fans are taking matters into their own hands and have orchestrated a synchronised download from Itunes and Amazon, that begins today.
It sounds Dangerous, but if successful, this could be Michael Jackson's first No.1 since 2001 (You rock my world)
Mid week download sales chart will give us an indicator of how close Michael Jackson's fans are to making HIStory or if there will be Blood on the dancefloor as the charts are revealed on Sunday 20th.
However you feel about Michael Jackson, you cant deny...his legacy is Invicible
Only one question remains:
Will this attempt to get Michael Jackson to No.1 on Download sales alone be a Thriller?
Or will it just be Bad?

Less than one month....
It is less than one month until the aniversary of Michael's death. Many of us are still coming to terms with his passing and still cant comprehend that Michael has left this earth for nearly a whole year now.
June 25 2010 will be an emotional day for us all. Many fans plan to light a candle, some will be holding vigils while others will be celebrating his life and legacy.
Imagine waking up on June 25 to find that Michael is at number one in the charts around the globe with 'We've Had Enough'. Imagine the world listening to those emotive lyrics and that rousing chorus. Imagine Michael smiling down on us, knowing that the world is finally listening to his anti-war message for which he cared so passionately.
We can make this happen. We know this project is ambitious but Michael dared to dream and so must we.
Please spread the word far and wide - join the facebook group, email the press release to your friends, watch the youtube videos. Share the L.O.V.E
Thank you

A message from Suleman Mirza
We are very pleased that Suleman from Signature is proudly supporting and promoting our campaign. Signature are an EXCELLENT MJ tribute dance act and huge MJ fans!
Here is the message Suleman posted on his facebook page:
Dear Friends
Hope you are all well.......
I have been asked by a group of very dedicated MJ fans to support a campaign which would see the unreleased single by MJ called WE’VE HAD ENOUGH reach number one during week commencing 14th June 2010 in the UK. Usually I cannot support these types of initiatives due to my very h...eavy workload and schedule...
..however this time around I feel it quite important to at least send this message out as I truly believe that the SONG is one of the best MJ songs ever made and my favourite with a great message. It was never released commercially but such a gem should not be hidden and it would be great if the single went to NUMBER ONE IN THE UK. You are obviously free to make up your mind but if you like the song (my fav) then please do download from i-tunes and lets get this amazing single to #1 on the date 25th June 2010.
Thanks for reading and here are the relevant links to the campaign and the video to
