Rage Against The Machine for Christmas.


I wasn't going to do this as it just seemed a bit pointless and a "larf" but now Cowell has thrown a hissy fit and claimed some automatic right to the christmas #1 spot ... fudge him, fudge him hard.

Yay!  I have joined the FB group and although I already own the song (and the album) I will be spending 99p to download it from iTunes on Monday just because it would just make my Christmas to see some heavy rock with lots of swear words get to Christmas No.1 headbang.gif

Anytime between 13th - 19th Dec supposedly. Although there's much debate about if it's validbefore 12pm on 13th, so I'm gonna do it on Monday.

Apparently you can also use Play.com. Maybe you'll have more luck there!

Bizarre "rules" coming out about this, has to be from a UK chart registered store and MUST cost more than 40p to count towards the charts!! There was me assuming a sale is a sale, hey ho.

Anyway, yeah ... play.com and hmv.co.uk count and are floating around the 79p mark.

Apparently a sale is not just a sale. They don't count multiple purchases and apparently do all sorts of clever ip and email address matching to spot them.

Gotta love democracy!

Rage Against the Machine beat X Factor winner in charts
Rock band Rage Against the Machine have won the most competitive battle in years for the Christmas number one.

The band's single, Killing In The Name, sold 500,000 downloads beating X Factor winner Joe McElderry's The Climb by 50,000 copies to clinch the top spot.


The article goes on to say that poor Joe was disadvantaged by the bad weather and because his single went out a day late because of the timing of the X factor final. Rage Against The Machine had a whole Facebook group behind them whereas poor Joe only had 3 months of constant X Factor related TV, radio, newspaper and magazine exposure leading up to the release of his single.

There is much disgruntlement in the office. Poor Joe lost the number one spot that he was ENTITLED to by divine right and was the victim of maliciousness and vindictiveness and other things end in 'ness'. Poor, poor Joe.

Heh.
