titled ["Bum Rush The Charts"](http://bumrushthecharts.blogspot.com/?ref=hypebot.com)

The beneficiary track is "Mine Again" by the band San Francisco band [Black Lab](http://blacklabworld.com/blw/index.html?ref=hypebot.com). The act was chosen for the campaign in part because it was dropped from two major record labels (Geffen and Sony/Epic) and then had to fight to get their masters back. By making Black Lab #1,even if just for today, organizers hope to send a message to the major labels both about the multitude of great music they fail to support and the power in new independent media. We’ll keep ya posted.
