The People's Chimp Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I have a problem with a guy leading a campaign about 'not telling us what should be number one' telling us what we should buy to make number one. The general **** you cowell concept is fine, but he loves it anyway, indeed a campaign like this is, in a sense, just more marketing and publicity for him, more column inches and more discussion about x factor. Btw, what is all this 'journey' pish? utterly atrocious. It's not funny. Please, stop now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makateer Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I will be suprised if even makes it into the top 5. Facebook members does not equal sales. We get the same thing every year but it will be x-factor crap at number 1 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get the same thing every year but it will be x-factor crap at number 1 again. Last year's number 2 was a Facebook group protesting against X Factor that had less members at the end than this group has a week before the Xmas week so I can think it to be quite likely it will make the top 5.

Cigaro Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 What's their best album?The first one? Yeah the self titled album is awesome. Every track on it is killer. I'd also recommend "The Battle of Los Angeles". Has tracks like Guerilla Radio, Sleep Now in the Fire, and Calm Like a Bomb on it. Personally those two are my favourites. In order IMO: Self Titled Battle of LA Evil Empire Renegades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makateer Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 What is the point of this? People are annoyed at being manipulated into buying the x-factor song, so instead they try and manipulate people into buying a different song? I hope you all realise that RATM are signed to Epic, the same label that will have the x-factor winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Aye, I can't stand the X Factor and it's about time a decent song got Christmas #1. But it's only showbiz - not forgetting what makateer said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbill Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The capitalists who own the record companies must be wetting their very expensive trousers! Or, wait a minute.

I hope you all realise that RATM are signed to Epic, the same label that will have the x-factor winner? It's not about manipulation at all. It's just about people being tired of the same old crap at number 1 every year at Xmas. It's like Iron Maiden done in 1990 to stop Cliff Richard from getting to number 1 again. Nothing about stopping people making money or anything like that despite what alot of the news reports are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, there is only 1 winner in all of this though and that is the record label. I don't like being dictated to on what music I should buy so I will be purchasing neither.
