It was a sweeping generalisation meant to insult the people who think like that, inferring they think like 'daft 14 year olds'...

Are you being serious?

Are you insulted?

I gave a generalisation yes. Not at any particular age group.

If you disagree with my opinion, fair enough

Raikiri · 7 Dec 2009 at 19:48

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU

I made the generalisation!

lemonkettaz · 7 Dec 2009 at 19:50

Now I'm confused.

Anyways, I like NME, but It annoys me that you get some "scenesters" that bot NME, topman and change bands daily....

Some people see it as all part of a fashion

Rage Against the Machine are signed by which record label....?

Simon Cowell works for which record label....?

Looks like a certain company will be making a lot of money this Christmas due to the X-Factor and this attempt

Wouldn't it be brilliant if it was Simon Cowell who started the Facebook group

Yeah...unlikely.

Loads of people in the FB group are going on about Sony owning Syco or whoever. No-one cares though. It's not about the money.

Exactly, it about getting a decent song to number 1 and getting the radios to play it loads

Brilliant Zane lowes playing it

I already have the single, both 7" & 12", from when it was originally released. So, even though I absolutely abhor the X-Factor, and all the other 'reality' shows, I won't be buying the single myself.

Do you own the mp3 though? No?

The defence rests, your honour.

I think I'll buy Silver Bells by Terry Wogan and Aled Jones instead. They should have been Christmas number 1 last year tbh.

just incase it hasn't been mentioned (cba going through the thread)
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v...d=2228594104#/group.php?gid=2228594104&ref=ts

The group size is growing extremely fast!
a few hours ago there were under 300,000 members, now there are over 351,555!!!

Strife212 · 7 Dec 2009 at 21:52

Last x-factor single sold about 580,000

Theres 352,166 members in this group, even if every single one buys it, it will fail

Dr.EM · 7 Dec 2009 at 21:53

Still growing, but yes. I doubt it'll take No1 realistically, but optimistic for No2 and mabye next year it'll get it

You don't have to be the member of a group to buy a single.

Although I agree it's doomed to fail anyway.

Strife212 · 7 Dec 2009 at 21:56

It should be number two easily, though. But the only point is to overthrow x-factor so thats not saying that much xD

When it sold that amount it sold more then the other 39 put together :eek:

Stuff · 7 Dec 2009 at 22:02

As the other's have said, its doomed to fail. Im up for joining the group, but I'm not gunna buy a song I don't like...

JBod · 7 Dec 2009 at 22:14

Awesome idea, I am in.

Don't forget to purchase from official sources so it gets in the charts:
