rage against the x-factor - Outcome: RATM is the Christmas Number One!

[BloodyL]

seperate music labels under the same company name?

why would cowell get any money directly from ratm sales if he has nothing to do with any other sony music label but his own?

indirectly im positive that joe sold more songs just because people were trying to make sure ratm didnt hit #1 (like the idiots on his forum saying they bought 4 copies)

It's a safe bet that Cowell has interests in Sony BMG, he's a business man, why would he not?

Who cares anyway? What is another few thousand pounds to Simon Cowell?

My daughters regularly go to rock nights at the Sugamill and have been to V, Leeds festival and Glastonbury over the last 4 years and have never heard it before.

They headlined Leeds/Reading 2008

I just wanna say

In related news...

The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back

I would honestly question anyone interested in rock/metal who had not heard of Rage Against The Machine.

Anybody who's been in any kind of rock/indie club or bar over the last 10 years will have heard it far, far too many times

The greatest true artist of all time.


Anyway, taking nothing away from the victory but how many would RATM have sold if people were only allowed 1 download each?

No idea, but would Joe have won if votes on the X-Factor were limited to one per household/phoneline?

Indeed, was just saying that it is entirely possible.

Last number 1 of the decade and what a statement to society and the pop culture shoved down our throats.

No. There's another chart on the 27th and I doubt it'll still be number 1 then.

 

[nutsnut]

Especialy one who has been to Leeds Festival.

 

[fornowagain]

What about us idiots on this forum who did buy 8 copies?

For downloads they can detect it and adjust the results.

From the same seller yeah, what about different outlets? Think not.

 

[Red and White]

yep, joe will probably go to number 1 then. it usually dominates number 1 for 3-4 weeks.

A bit of a silly campaign IMO, the RATM song is utter utter garbage, I'd probably prefer the X Factor single if I was forced to listen to either!

If anything there will be a push from joe supporters to take next weeks number one.

I don't think your ears work properly.

Whether or not you like Rage's music, it's clear that they're incredibly talented at what they do.

The X Factor single is so predictable and boring. It's awful. You can predict from the start what it will sound like, this guitar, that drum fill... KEY CHANGE.

To be fair, at least the key change here is less inappropriate than on Hallelujah when they put it on just about the bleakest verse in the whole song. Good work, idiots.
