Susan Boyle’s PR team originally started using the hashtag #susanalbumparty to celebrate her new album launch. Err, thanks Sue, but I might give this particular party a miss.
There’s been a fair bit of controversy surrounding the supposed use of #susanalbumparty as the hashtag used to promote Susan Boyle’s new album back in October; lots of Twitter-arguments saying it was all a fan rumour. According to the most recent posts by Twitter-buster-supreme @IsTwitWrong, it was a post by the genuine Susan Boyle account, but was quickly lept on and rectified. There you go — it’s real. Someone, in an office somewhere, typed that with a straight face. Kudos for spotting it quickly, but sorry, you’re still in the running for Twitter fail of the year. [Guardian]
Thanks, Saeed!

I was not aware of this and had a laugh out loud moment at the office.
hashtag of the year?
#hashtagoftheyear
Lol yeh that too *doesn’t do twitter or hashtags* Ok I did one on Google+
HA! HA!
ANALBUMPARTY!!!
Well, this certainly got a lot more publicity than it would have gotten otherwise. Given that her twitter feed is probably run by a professional promotions company I suspect it may not be accidental at all.
Oh you cynic, Darrell, you…..
It’s my age.
I agree, as soon as you look at the tag the words ‘anal’ and ‘bum’ hit you in the face and considering we are likely talking about a big team of professional educated marketeers, often referred to as cunts by laypeople, it is near impossible that this has gone unchecked. This is just gangster rap style marketing for easy listening music. Or maybe, just maybe, Susan enforced this tag as fame and success hasn’t gotten her the arse pounding she craves so much.
I don’t know – you read what you expect to see. Seeing as there’s no spacing your mind has to make that leap itself to judge the words.
I’m not surprised we see anal bum party.
I think she uses Perfect Curve for her PR/promotional stuff.
I just spat out my glacier mint; hilarious!
Steady on granddad!
I’ll have you know glacier mints are great for the replacement-hipster!
i saw the memes but didnt realise this is where it came from. thanks Giz!

Thanx Darrell, that made me spray my coffee all across my keyboard/monitor
Hehe… “Rectified”
This is a wonderful article. I’ve been waiting for an error like this for ages, I’m a little annoyed I missed it.
Oh god, my monocle popped in hysterics!
Was it a surprise party?
Surely “…. causes Twitter shitstorm” would be more appropriate for the title?
lmao
Su’s Anal Bum Party. Awesome.
Where and when anyone know? And by any chance is George Michael invited?
I don’t think Susan’s his type.
