I think it is wrong if the people taking part watch the show and enjoy it, in a way.

Also RATM would be horrible for a xmas number 1, but I understand they chose this for the rebellion side of it.

But, The Pogues would make a much better number 1 imo

RATM would stop the X Factor which would be good, might make it fail next year

The record becoming No. 1 won't make a lot of difference to his already very deep pockets. Like anything else - the show's appeal will eventually wear thin - and Mr Cowell will most likely be forgotten about. Just a matter of time!

But I like the xfactor, I look forward to saturday and sunday when it is on. And there is nothing to replace it.

That is why I don't get this RATM thing, people are spending their money on a single just to spoil the enjoyment others get out of the xfactor. I didn't support Joe during the show, but in this I am behind him.

Joe <3

I don't like the RATM campaign either, I think the song is shocking, but maybe if it does get number 1 and another campaign starts again next year, Simon might start to rethink when he releases the winners single. Perhaps he should go for new year number 1.

Joe could have have his time anytime,why take away the Christmas Number 1, which used to be quite an exciting thing in the UK! Now we practically know who it's going to be, and it's not even a Christmas song!! It's a shame and you know it.

Yup I remember the days when we used to think "what will be xmas no.1 this year" but nowadays whoever wins X Factor is pretty much guarenteed a number 1 at Christmas with a cover of a non-xmas song. Most winners seem to vanish after a year (most notable exception of this is Leona Lewis who is still big).

Yes, but someone better could always replace it, channels are quite good at making you forget other programmes existed. It's not spoiling the enjoyment of anyone, it's stopping X Factor killing the music industry, which surely you can agree with?

Jords · 16-12-2009, 11:39 PM

I agree with the whole 'we know its going to be the XF winner as xmas no.1' and the fact it is not exciting to wonder who'll get it and that the single isnt even a xmas song.

I think they should move the show backwards a few weeks, or have it start in January time.

Indeed, it's the kids who are missing out really, I could not care less, but this is all they will know and expect.

I don't think it is killing the music industry, it is just changing it.

RATM will just spend the money they get from this on drugs probably, if it was Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band, then at least people would know they were helping someone.

Also I'm sure a lot of stars and groups got their breaks on talent shows, even minor local ones, it seems that because xfactor is a massive talent show that some people object to it.

Anyway, I don't really care about xfactor always getting the xmas number one. And I'm sure it will change one year.

But to try and change it out of spite doesn't seem very christmassy at all.

ratm said they would give the royalties they get from this to charity.

I didn't know that.

Jords · 16-12-2009, 11:52 PM

RATM is actually number 1 on itunes at the moment

King Gizzard · 16-12-2009, 11:52 PM

It wasnt even RATM who set the campaign up anyway, and theyre getting all the **** from it.

it was some dude on facebook who done a similar thing last year

i hope it does well

Stephanie · 16-12-2009, 11:53 PM

they have apparently sold 65,000 more copies than joe so far.

Jack_ · 16-12-2009, 11:53 PM

It's a ****ing awful song (LOL can't stop with the ****s now), and Joe deserves it.

I got Joe's physical single today, as I'm expecting the majority of people would've too. We'll have more of an idea by tomorrow and Friday.

30stone · 16-12-2009, 11:54 PM

Hopefully it doesnt get number 1.

Would be an absolutely horrible number 1.

Stephanie · 16-12-2009, 11:54 PM

i think joe will get most of his sales from today as people like to buy stuff on the first day.

Princess · 16-12-2009, 11:55 PM

A girl I asked in HMV today said Joe's single was selling really well,although that makes no difference to you lot does it,cos there's different charts :P

King Gizzard · 16-12-2009, 11:55 PM

this has been said a million times but it hasnt hit home yet

yes its a horrible song (and this is coming from an RATM fan) but its not about the song its about the lyric, ''**** you im not going to do what you tell me''

Jords · 16-12-2009, 11:56 PM

Im not blaming RATM Nate, I think the campaign itself is stupid, but woah they have a great shot at being number 1, just depends how Joes single CD goes now!
