Is there a running total of purchases anywhere or is it all a mystery until the day?

Anyone doing this to stick it to Simon Cowell should think about this first....

RATM are on Sony.

Simon Cowell IS basically Sony.

But still would be great

People still don't get this do they.

a lot of people buying it from Amazon but it doesn't count from there I don't think. Something to do with the price.

Yep, has to be above 40p

Actually not strictly speaking true - Simon has a different label within the Sony family. None of the money from RATM will find it's way to him.

Apparently RATM have said they will donate all money they make towards Shelter.

£21,846.61 on the site at the moment.

Cowell owns Syco, a very very small division of Sony Music.

It's simple...buy the Rage Against The Machine track now and stop trying to make up reasons as to why Jo Mcgaylord deserves a place in the charts.

Why does it really matter what is number 1?

Are we going to have a debate on existentialism now?

The odds for Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' to get to Number One spot ahead of this year's X Factor winner, has dropped from 100-1 to 3-1.

Where does a debate get you? What is the point? Why are we even alive?
