I brought South Park into because you're so Anti American yet enjoy a lot of stuff they put out, you're a hypocrite basically. That's why I brought SP into it, anyone with half a braincell could see why.

You might be stating your opinion but I disagree with it which I'm allowed to. Instead of calling me a mong why don't you actually try to disprove my points instead? I won't get my hopes up of that happening however.

Finally, Me a prat? Pot Kettle Black my friend.

It better be true. If not it is a ****ing fix. Oh yeah yesterday I bought Rage Against the machine cd with killing in the name on it. My bf likes the song and asked for their cd. Will this count as one more person buying into the christmas number 1? However it is out of stock at play.com so I will probs get it in about 2 weeks time :(

[King Gizzard]

Great news

[Beastie]

Joe is a nice lad, I hope he does well when he does his albulm and gets a few number ones but sorry we are only doing this because of Simon Cowell and the X Factor and to be honest I actually prefer RATM song.. Joe should not have to take it personally :thumbs:

[alc09]

Well what do you want me to do?

Nothing, save your self the embarrassment, you've made yourself look a big enough twat already in this thread without making it worse.

anyway Joe fans whats so wrong with number 2?

[Patrick]

Okay ...

1. Its not Number 1

2. Hes loosing to a **** American Talentless Rockband

3. Hes the first XF Winner in 4 years not to get Christmas #1

4. He has put so much hard work in and deserves #1

5. RATM and their smug little fans will feel happy and we cant have that

I hope I explained to you in the simplest way on how **** it is that Joe is #2

[Beastie]

anyway Joe fans whats so wrong with number 2?

Yep number 2 is still great. Joe will look bad on his part if he throws a paddy. Great artists have come at number 2 like Robbie Williams and Oasis with Wonderwall and.. Charlotte Church with Crazy Chick. Lol she definately deserved to be number 1 though with that! Anyway it is about time X Factor went down a ****ing notch.

[Patrick]

Anyway it is about time X Factor went down a ****ing notch.

But not to an American Rock Band!

Maybe if he lost to Robbie,Lady Gaga,Girls Aloud,Take That etc

I hope I explained to you in the simplest way on how **** it is that Joe is #2

1. But he's still sold 300,000 + singles, that's still one of the best selling singles of the year.

2. Oh Grow up, RATM know more about music then you and Joe ever will. go listen to N-Dubz and mug someone or something.

3. It's not a bad thing hopefully Now Simon will actually try with the winner's song.

4. One week of Promo is not hard work, if he thinks that's hard wait until his own music comes out.

5. awww has baby thwon his toys outta the pwam?

[King Gizzard]

its not about them deserving it

its just about a big F YOU to xfactor and the song was chosen basically just because of the lyrics.

I think people need to make sure they download RATM again. I bet Simon Cowell will be downloading Joe's song now thousands of times and Cheryl Cole too.... haha!

X factor getting to number 1 every year is ruining music.
Thats a good enough reason to why Joe shouldn't get number 1!

and 4 months of hard work on a show getting pampered and at the end just releasing a shitty song that he didn't write.

So hard compared to actual artists who write their own songs.

I don't like Joe, I don't like either song and I hate that XF always gets Christmas #1. But how exactly does it ruin music? Of course Christmas number 1 has always been a respected slot with a true musical artist getting it, such as musical genius Mr Blobby, as well as Bob the Builder.

Just sounds like a bitter NME columnist that a manufactured act is more successful than Arctic Monkeys. Out of 6 series, just THREE have been commercially successful. Thats out of 69 contestants X Factor has ever spewed out. And this years lot don't look like they are going to be successful either.

Its hardly ruining music, and people might end up embarrassed by stuff considered 'real' music by music snobs. But personally I don't get musical snobbery, I think its ridiculous.

You can flip that over, why should it be taken away from someone who millions voted for?

And manufactured doesn't always mean generic, just see Elvis for that. And 'actual artist' doesn't equal good.

The bottom line is, it depends how it sounds. If its good it will sell, if its crap it won't sell. And you mention The Cribs, now it all makes sense why they sound so bitter, because they're crap and hardly ever break the top 20.

Just because you write your own stuff doesn't give you the upper hand over anyone else.

it's not against him, it's about x factor always getting xmas number one.

It's also the first song to get to Christmas No.1 on downloads alone.

Congrats and well done to the Rage campaign. I would rather have had a Christmas song get it but any change from The X Factor is welcome.

I do feel somewhat bad for Joe, but it's important to remember that the campaign was against The X Factor and not Joe.

[Jack_]

The whole campaign has just been ****ing pathetic though. Who gives a **** if XF get it every year? The majority of them can sing well, might not be proper musicians but still, they're better than the likes of Bob the Builder etc.

Well what defines a 'proper' musician anyway? its only pathetic music snobs that care. Music is music and if it sounds good it sounds good. If people like it they'll buy it, if it sounds rubbish it won't sell.

Its also hilarious that we haven't had a 'proper' #1, as though its always been someone respected who gets it. Mr Blobby anyone?

It was just a change than the predictable christmas number 1..... and people like simon cowell taking over the world. He is no ****ing nelson mandella.

A lot more people would rather listen to that than another karaoke X Factor winner singing a boring song.

I love this. All these bitter Joe fans. Nothing you say will get "his" no.1 back.

I'm not a Joe fan, I'm not bitter, I just think RATM is a shite song. And he'll get number 1 next week anyway so ...

Sorry - but the same can definitely be said of Olly fans - as they make up a lot of those downloading the RATM song. Very bitter and jealous. But Joe won fair and square. This xmas no. 1 business makes no difference to that!

Why was it yesterday that the sales where totalled up? Shouldn't it logically be Christmas day?

[Marc]

Its always been like that. First sunday before Xmas day.

Theoretically it should be announced exactly on xmas day in 2011.

[Wildcat!]

I cant believe it! I just found out! :shocked:

Well done to them, but WTF?? I cant believe people actually went for this campaign for real.

[CiaraD]

I was never Joe's biggest fan but I would rather a Christmas song than RATM...

[Stu]

From my blog thingy ...

This whole Xmas #1 business has been a bit ... interesting this Christmas.

That said, I finally found a bit of clarification on this issue. That Facebook group encourages people to donate to Shelter. Thus far, they've raised over £72,000. Even if Rage hadn't sold one copy of Killing In The Name, this would be a ****ing fantastic thing to have happen. Rage themselves are donating their royalties from these sales to Youth Music, a charity supporting young British musicians. I think their point was that no, they weren't trying to destroy the career of promising young British musicians with their evil American shouty swearing; they were actually going to put their money where their mouths are and do something to help.

Zack and Tom have been really cool about the whole thing since it was first brought to their attention, repeatedly stating that they're very flattered and whatnot, but that the point is not that they've got a number one record but rather that people have realised that grassroots campaigning can work, and that if you get involved and do your little bit for a cause, it can all make a real difference. And that they got an opportunity to cuss loudly on Radio Five at 9am.

And for what it's worth, poor widdle Joe has probably sold more records than he would have without the Rage campaign, since anti-Rage people got their knickers in such a knot over it all and got more motivated to buy his song. And he'll be number one next week, while Rage will have disappeared from the charts forever.

I just cannot fathom how people can be upset about this. Seriously, can someone who's not a complete windowlicking tool please point out to me the negatives of this whole business? The charts got exciting for the first time in forever. Two charities raised a load of money they wouldn't have raised otherwise. A great band got a load of exposure they wouldn't have got otherwise and an X-Factor winner now has an extra story and another angle to put on the next single he releases which otherwise would likely have tanked. A couple who set up a Facebook group for fun have got to be famous for 15 minutes and all the people who bought the song (and probably a lot more besides) may now just believe that doing something small can have an impact on the world around them if they stand alongside all the other people who feel the same way. For once, the silent majority are shouting and it makes a difference. It's probably not going to lead to general strikes or a revolution or anything, but maybe if you ask those 500,000 people now to write to their MP about a pressing issue, they might believe it can change something rather than assuming, as so many of us do now, that their voice cannot, will not be heard.

And finally, there is NO ****ING IRONY WHATSOEVER in joining a campaign to buy a song just because it contains the words "**** you, I won't do what you tell me." Saying this demonstrates you have no understanding of what irony is, nor what voluntary participation means. Merry ****ing Christmas.

[andyman]

Maybe next year Simon will make the winner song... A Christmas style song? :shocked:

[Wildcat!]

From my blog thingy ...

Nice Blog! There is no ill will. IN the end, like you said, it did make for an exciting week in the charts.
And the charity ( Which I didnt know about), makes a big difference.

Why is it all in green though?:conf:

[Wildcat!]

With all the drama, I think he should move the finale, till after christmas. BUt knowing Simon, he will ride this bandwagon. He will enoy such another campaign next year. This, ironically only helps the xfator franchise. It makes them even more powerful.

[andyman]

Good blog.

[Wildcat!]

what is the song anyways?
I havent heard it, or seen it, till the whole thing started. And I cant be asked looking through this Bib ass thread.

Can anyone post a clip, or sound of the song?

cool. I like the song. Never head it before. Definitely not christmssy, but better than Joes song. I was feeling it.

They seem very amateurish to me though. Not a band I would pick. They are kinda wack, but they alright!

[andyman]

Song came in 1992 or 93.. Fek dunno.

Also on the hit PS2 game GTA San Andreas.
