I know its tight.
Cowell has dumped the price of the crap joe song (to crap all) in order to try and sell the rubbish and get the No1 spot.
See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1237259/Pressure-gets-X-Factor-winner-Joe-McElderry-race-Christmas-No-1-slashes-single-price-just-29p.html

So much for Simon not caring about the top spot! :rolleyes:

Your signature is by far the most irritating one I've seen here in a long time, choose different colours for everyone s sense's sake.

Also yay RATM! Fingers crossed they do a tour after this as that would be awesome!

joe is a charity, he won't be able sing for shit once his balls drop!

Why didn't Simon just download it thousands of times himself if he really wanted Joe to be number one.

It'd be a drop in the ocean to him.

Cause multiple downloads won't be counted.

X-Factor is one of the worst aspects of modern society. I can't stand how much attention it's been getting. All this stuff with RATM is just giving Cowell and his cronies more free piblicity by proxy. The whole system is sick.

Really?

He (the group's guitarist Tom Morello) added that the band would be donating the unexpected royalties to the homeless charity Shelter.

So far they have raised 60,000 in England alone for the charity.

Didn't someone say sony MG profit either way

even with RATM being No1, simon still earns royalities from it, one plus from this though is that hopefully x factor has reached its peak and hopefully music, for the sake of music will return

Try being in my office, all the idiots constantly going on about it. Some fat pig of a girl kept going on about how ugly some of the contestants were. The ironing:rolleyes:

I expect Simon will urge an investigation to be launched. Some chart rules have been broken by this campaign.

I know, but it usually gets leaked a few hours before. I posted the link on the previous page.

The facebook group told members how to download free copies that would count towards the chart.

You could be right but I didn't see that.
Bedsides I'm sure the likes of Amazon has in place the software guards to stop this possible hack/stealing(?) con.
I sure that there is out there some system that only allows paid for songs to be accounted for in the purchased based charts.

At the end of the day, whats Simon gong to do? Demand all the charity money donated from the RATM single be repaid back to him?
It would be the ultimate PR disaster for him. He won't go down this road in a month of Sundays.

I think you could sign up for a Nokia player for your PC and get free credit to download a song,people then used this for the RATM song.It counted towards the chart apparently.

I apologise if this leak turns out to be false btw, but they rarely are.

HMV really pushing for Joe in town today.There was loads of his cds up by the counters and lots of people buying them on Impulse.
Really hope RATM do it!

Royale with Cheese

Ha. Maybe in 10 years time you'll be shopping in Dunnes in mid December and you'll hear Killing in the Name in between Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is coming to town. That'd be awesome.

do sales count after 4pm considering the chart has started?

Store purchases are different though - didn't Jimmy Eat World go out and buy a few hundred thousand copies of their own CD's so they'd get placed high in the charts, and the avalanche of sales from there secured their popularity (and bank accounts) in the states?

A single song download from iTunes is pretty cheap.

Dunno who this joe guy is, bt he is a bit special. 'simon cowel wouldn't like it' ahahaha

chopperbyrne

He doesn't even realise the song is almost as old as he is. He actually thinks Rage Against The Machine released a brand new song to try to stop the X-Factor winner from getting the Christmas #1

Seriously deluded.

Who are these inconsiderate folk buying music that they like. Don't they ask themselves before every purchase "What would Simon Cowell do?"

billy the squid

Rage Against the Machine 502,672
Joe McEldry 450,838

not confirmed though

At the moment they are counting them down

18. The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York.
17. Cheryl Cole sone, the name of which escapes me.
