INTERNATIONAL.

Xtravaganza and Sine are preparing a busy promotional schedule to build on the growing international sales and club success of Public Domain's single Operation Blade. The single, which has already sold more than 100,000 units in Germany, enters the Australian sales chart for the first time this week at number 25, as well as entering the Top 40 singles sales charts in Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands. "This track is being driven by its huge popularity in the clubs," says Sine director of international marketing Torsten Luth. "In Germany we've secured a gold single on the back of very little airplay, though support for the video from Viva has been strong for some time and airplay is now beginning to build." Sine now plans to capitalise on the underground support for Operation Blade, with the act visiting Germany for extensive TV and radio promotion during February. Public Domain (pictured) have already confirmed appearances for Top Of The Pops, Eins Live Radio and RTL2's Dome TV show. An upcoming appearance at the French DJ convention at Les Bains Douches should also help kick-start sales success in that territory, says Luth.
