Dean Winchester Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nice one! Wish I had seen it at that point although tbh I wasn't sure how well this would take off and I suppose thats why it was that price. If I had gotten in a few hours earlier it was at 30-1!

Cade Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 X Factor judge Simon Cowell has criticised the internet campaign, calling it "stupid". Prior to the final of the ITV talent show, he said: "I think the campaign's aimed directly at me". Aye well done Sherlock! Hope yer karaoke act sinks!!!! With only 10% in it, I think I may have to go buy RATM again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 With only 10% in it, I think I may have to go buy RATM again! The X Factor boys CD single comes out tomorrow, I'd imagine that will rocket him in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 For those intent on buying multiple copies of RATM's song, don't do it via itunes as they will be disqualified from their figures. If buying the CD version from the shops, one from a separate shop lest they too disqualify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 who buys cd's??? Not me - but then again I don't pay to download music either.

Homme Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I always buy albums as CD's. Love adding to my collection. Never buy a CD single, although i'd imagine a lot the xfactor ones will be used as stocking fillers this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't own them but his labels are tied up in Sony, he's a direct advisor to Sony and the X Factor rights are owned by Sony. The more money Sony get, the more that is filtered down to him and all his projects! Something tells me he won't be that bothered by this development.

Would he rather his artist got number one or another artist somewhere else on his parent companies label? He isn't going to profit all that much from a couple hundred thousand 99p downloads.

Dean Winchester Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 OCC figures today show that Killing In The Name has now extended that lead to around 60%, selling another 92,000 copies yesterday to bring its total for the week so far to more than 175,000. The Climb has sold around 110,000 copies so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Surley if RATM are signed with part of the Sony empire ,they are hardley raging against the machine more likely part of it . They maybe should have went for some talented unknown on an independent label (is there actually still such a thing in the modern world of downloads ) .

To beat the Karaoke act they needed an already well known track people could identify with. The point of it is that people are sick of the latest X Factor robot taking No.1. We're talking about a Miley Cyrus cover here, that's extracting the urine even by X Factor standards. I'll personally be delighted if RATM reaches No.1 and beats the rent boy. Not bothered about the politics, the ethics, etc. just that I can't stand the X Factor and love the song. I think some people are looking into this a little too deeply. I'm viewing at a bit of a GIRFUY Simon Cowell more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
