ramboacdc Posted 13 December 2009 Share Posted 13 December 2009 Buying several copies tomorrow. This HAS to happen. you buy multiple copies from the same ip/billing adress they do not count towards the final tally they void them to stop cheating otherwise jeff buckly would of been number 1 last year.

The Doctor Posted 13 December 2009 Share Posted 13 December 2009 Because Killing in the Name of's lyrics fit the slogan they've adopted. 'Fuck you I won't buy what you sell me' referring to X-Factor's dominance of recent Xmas Number 1s.Besides, who the fook cares who's Number 1? Bit pathetic if you ask me. used to be a big thing in music before X factor came along and screwed it up just like they did with saturday evening TV. Saturday evening TV should contain the best shows available. Don't stick MTW, NMTB, HIGNFY and LATA on any weekday evening where they can be shoved in, make room for them on a saturday evening in place of strictly, x factor, dancing on ice or whatever shocking "reality shows" the networks can find.

Joe. Posted 14 December 2009 Share Posted 14 December 2009 Currently number 2 on itunes behind McEldrey. I'd like it to get to number one as it'd be a bit of a laugh, but nobody should really give a fuck about Christmas number one really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And HMV This will be brilliant Its a great, great shame that the amazon sales dont count as they dont charge enough for the track. X Factor has a physical CD too that I saw in asda this morning.

AjcW Posted 15 December 2009 Share Posted 15 December 2009 Wow, this is one of the stupidest things ive ever come across... Scott Mills is summing it up perfectly on his show at the moment. Basically sarcastically saying what a puppet he is being for playing Joe's single, and also saying lets all download a song that we hate just to piss simon cowell off. I have massive amounts of respect for simon, he is quite simply a business genius and therefor a bit of an idol. The funniest thing out of all this, the fact that simon and his tv company made over 10 million pound out of saturday and sundays show and therefore couldn't really give a shit whether Joe makes number one or not.

Perhaps it's, y'know, people doing it for the principle of the thing? Because they actually are passionate about music and are fed up with the same predictable Christmas number one forumla that happens every year now. But seeing as you're on first name terms with Cowell I could see why you're a bit upset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As people have stated before in this thread the idea of RATM being Christmas number one isn't one that's born entirely out of people liking their music, more the values that band supposedly stand for.

filbertway Posted 15 December 2009 Share Posted 15 December 2009 It's a bit predictable that rage or joe will be xmas number one. I'd love it if an actual xmas related song got it like slade or the pogues, never going to happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairy Posted 15 December 2009 Share Posted 15 December 2009 Exactly.Fighting blind packaged-consumerism with...err...protest-consumerism. I find it potty. Its claimed that the X Factor stops talented artists getting air play and that its all the same Cowell shite. The protest is in the lyrics of the RATM song, basic though they are. But you're right, its a load of bollox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
