Are people campaigning for world climate change all sheep following one another? Are people campaigning for the legalization of drugs all sheep following one another? Are we all sheep following what advertisers want us to buy? What producers want us to watch?

No, because this is life, and we all end up in somebody's circle somehow with views we agree with and products we want. This was a campaign to make a showing on the charts and everybody had a like minded view. The only way it possibly could have worked was if everybody agreed to buy the one single.

At the saME TIME, are people sheep for putting the xfactor single at #1? no.
this is the point, the whole campaign is ironic, because, its doing pretty much what the xfactor single does, no matter how you spin it. it being chosen by the people or what not? this is even worse because its a hand picked song from way back in the day, and is only gonna solidify the power of the xfactor. Because rATM would never in a million years, be #2, if it wasnt for the xfactor single. Double whammy, just like last year. Cant wait to see which song Xfactor gets to be #2 again,next year.
