if it wasnt for the RATM campaign he wouldnt have sold as many copies of his carp.
That doesn't change my position. I wanted to make a point and it was made (with the help of a lot of people). I wanted to see my choice on top for Christmas - it shook some people up and showed that there's hope for this country yet
- and somehow, I still feel sorry for the guy. He's just a kid, taking advantage of the opportunity provided by Simon Cowell and those who adore the X-Factor. It's not him whose the problem. Plus if I **** him off, I'll get a smack around the chops - this campaign has already gotten me into bother
I see what you're saying, but we've shown what we can do. Don't you think we could finally be back on track to getting charts with half decent music in them? If that's the case then why stop now?
In general, I couldn't give a crap about the charts. I haven't looked at the charts results for years - what I did object to was the amount of drivel that people in this country accept as art. I took the opportunity to get behind something I believed in, waved my arms in the air and extended a digit towards the pop culture I see all around me. For now, that's enough
That said, perhaps there is scope for taking it forward, but it should be considered and have a plan to reach a desired target. Merely continuing to purchase the same song is not well-considered or likely to really prove anything. To be honest, I'm not sure I feel the need to bother with the charts any more - until next Christmas....
I also wonder how many of those sales for RATM this week are just people who were too thick to understand that sales after midnight on Saturday don't count?
