The fact that the charts is a farce is nothing to do with this campaign. At least its more interesting than the Xfactor single being guaranteed number1!
Oh and a couple of charities benefit in the process!

I was a little harsh and i apologise for the manner of my correction. Wont be rereading anything tho, i see no need at all, and im not even sure you know why you're telling me to do that. I'm well aware of my transgresions. Probably far more aware of them than you.
EDIT in fact i was a bit of a prat. very harsh indeed. way OTT even. Again, sorry.

gel:What they got the number 1 for xmas?
Yes indeed.
about time Simon Cowell was brought down a peg or two.

im not wanting an argument but I do think you were harsh considering your posts have many assumptions and accusations that had no basis in fact.
I hope you have a nice xmas though. There is no point in arguing about this anymore.

I am delighted that RATM won, however, as far as I am aware, both artists are on contract to the Sony record label, ... so it was actually Sony vs Sony .... or am I missing something?

i believe so. one of the contradictions in being a band with a certain viewpoint who wish also to be well known enough to get their message across is that they often end up on major labels or subsidiaries thereof.
many will still say there is a certain point of priciple at stake. tho im not sure im one of them.

i remember a few mates going to see RATM in brixton , 1994 i think , i havnt heard of them once since then , until last week , its probably the same for an awful lot of people , now im curious , and im going to have a listen to a few of their tracks on you tube , i might even like them , maybe even buy a cd , maybe this little anti x factor campaign has paid for a few xtra turkeys for the homeless , and thats nice , but RATM will get alot more than that out of it , anyway good luck to them , it was a lucky xmas snowball they were in the middle of ...

Well I'm really pleased with the result....I even listened to the Chart Show on R1 (I think it's fair to say that I'm not an X Factor fan nor do I enjoy the music/artists which eminate from it).
I feel the result is actually important whether you wanted RATM to be Christmas Number 1 or not. It demonstrates the power of the internet and puts that power in the hands of the little people. So, is this the real start of the internet revolution? Maybe.
Oh, And I was struck by the general poor quality of the music in the charts. But, then again, I always have been.

Yup, if people see Simon Cowell/X-factor as a manipulation of the Xmas charts it just shows that the "little people" can manipulate it as well.
