    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! :D

    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? :confused:
    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.

    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

    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.
