They were hoping to get to number one rather than expecting to I would imagine, they didn't do too badly either!!
The thing is, they were always gonna be #2, because they are riding the Xfactor single as a reason to plug that song. SO it only solidifies the xfactor even more. The people who were gonna buy the xfaCTOR single, will still buy it, regardless of RATM. Thats where the irony is superb. Same thing happened last year, and if they do it next year, same thing will happen again. I wouldnt be surprised, if some savvy people use the opportunity to plug their own song next year, and makes loads of money in the process. Now we'll have 2 gulible groups of followers every year, instead of 1. I never buy any xfACTOR SINGLE cRRAP btw!
