(PR) Capitol Music Group and Motionbox today announced the next phase of their joint promotion, leading up to the world premiere of Placebo's new video, "Running Up That Hill," composed entirely of user submitted footage from the fans, uploaded to Motionbox.com, the online service that makes personal video worth sharing. Capitol Music Group and Motionbox called on fans to upload video of themselves singing Placebo's new single, "Running Up That Hill," from their critically-acclaimed new album, Meds. The promotion, which ran from March 30th-April 17th, drew a frenzy of activity from fans world-wide, as over 1,000 fans formed a group on Motionbox and quickly posted over 1,000 videos. Within the first three days of the promotion, the song was downloaded 5,000 times.
