As part of a promotion for the release of their album
Spirit, Depeche Mode announced that a contest would be held in which one fan or celebrity would take over Depeche Mode's
Facebook page every day for a year. A press release stated that winners would post to the band's seven million followers their own "personal anecdotes, videos, concert photos, covers of the band's songs, or other Depeche Mode-related content." Celebrities who contributed to the takeover include
