Earlier this month, in celebration of the one-year anniversary of the release of her album Demi, Lovato launched a social media storm with her #DEMIVERSARY campaign. After a temporary black out of all her social networking sites, Demi’s fans (the self-titled “Lovatics”) quickly decoded the message of the #DEMIVERSARY, and caused numerous worldwide social media trends. The Demi album has yielded the hit singles “Heart Attack” and “Neon Lights” and sold over 5 million tracks globally.
The #DEMIVERSARY celebration has featured a host of new content. VEVO debuted video footage from Demi’s Neon Lights Tour. Spotify offered a worldwide stream of five songs recorded in London last year and a video previously available only on Demi’s iBook for her poignant ballad “In Case,” which went live on VEVO. VEVO also debuted the lyric video for Demi’s sassy, up-tempo new single, “Really Don’t Care,” that has already amassed nearly 4 million views.
