I heard that the push behind the xfactor lad was dropping the single to 29p to compete. I'm so chuffed, best couple of quid I have spent this year and a storming tune to boot.
I can just see it now - up and down the country, teenage lads asking 'get that shite off the radio Dad and stick on some Rage Against The Machine!!!' Certainly my Son!

29p well spent then
What we going to knock XFactor off the top with next year?
Something by The Levellers maybe?

On the RATM website:
"RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE have just announced that if their single "KILLING IN THE NAME" is number one on the Christmas Week UK pop charts over the single from X-Factor winner they WILL PLAY A HUGE FREE CONCERT IN THE UK TO CELEBRATE THE VICTORY OF THIS HISTORIC PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN!!!! If the unprecedented grassroots movement to topple the X-Factor monopoly is successful in making Rage number one the group will return to UK shores sometime in 2010 for a massive "thankyou" gig. And get this...Rage have vowed to invite 2nd Place finisher, X-Factor empressario Simon Cowell, to MC the show!"

Or more accurately, hundreds of middle aged dads bouncing round the living room swearing, while their teenage kids sigh to themselves "call that music? pah, rubbish!"

THe Looser was in the chart show studio at Radio1 to hear the great news , but they announced he was 'delayed' so didnt comment. Unfortunatly the magic of radio was spoiled by the webcams, and you could see him.
I bought the RATM single , and am more than happy that Jo isnt No.1Posted 2 years ago # -
Good news!!!

Bloody Brilliant news this is...
"British Public get off their asses and vote against the system for the first time in over a decade" shocker... Bloody awesome...
Let's leave the Reality TV and talent shows in the Noughties eh... Roll on January 1st and perhaps a return to Popular Culture being decided by the masses, and not just teenage girls!
Christ, we might even get a general election sometime, in which people might actually turn out to vote!

igm - anything sold for under 40p does not count towards the charts. Your 29p just went to Sony. Same as the money spent on xfactors.
Really sticking it to the man there.

Yup RATM have said they will honour the free concert at some point in 2010 when they can come together and arrange it! I remember it first time around in 1992 however Radio 1 will never play the full unedited version which has 17 "fu**s" in it and culminates in Zack de la Rocha screaming "**** you, I won't do what you tell me! Motherf***er!"
Excellent the first X factor winner NOT to have a Christmas number 1 bet he feels shite!

The 29p version does count for some retailers.
The 40p minimum is the price the retailer has to buy it for. Some retailers (Amazon at least) sold it at a loss.

Awesome! Massive international retail organisation has got a sense of humour and backhandedly supported RATM in their campaign to be UK number 1 for Christmas!
Also glad my 29p did count in the end too...

So one act signed to Sony has beaten another act signed to Sony? Wow, great victory for the wild and crazy rebels there then, eh.

The question is: "Where's the best place to troll X-Factor fans?"
With football, I just trot over to the relevant clubs website and pitch in...

I'd checked it would count on Amazon before I down loaded it - as I already own the album (worth it by the way) I would have been pretty daft otherwise.
How about Sell Out by The Levellers for next year?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'm gutted. This means I now have a mainstream record in my collection, it will have to go. (yes, I have CD from way back when).
Never watched the Kareoke on the telly myself, he might be very good for all I know, but it's got to be a good thing to get some variety into the charts for a change. There is so much good new music out there at the moment, it's a shame it all gets burried beneath these bland Westlife/Spicegirls types.

That has topped off the year! Fantastic!

Surprised it made it but happy it did. Two fingers up to the reality shows. Haven't watched any this year since the wife left me. Its been bliss in so many ways!!

The sad part is that if anything they sold more than they would have without that stunt. The people that were going to buy it bought it, the ones that were not going to buy it might have bought RATM and some that were not going to buy either might have chosen a side just for the heck of it. So it was free publicity for them.

So to recap, a record that other folk told you to buy has made the top of the charts instead of...erm...another record that other folk wanted you to buy...
Baa baa baa ....

Proposals for 2010 Christmas number 1?
1. Sex Pistols - Fri**in in the Riggin
2. Prodigy - Smack my B*tch Up
3. Tenacious D - KikapooI think the X-Factor winner next year will play it safe + cover RATM's Guerilla Radio.
Apparently RATM frontman Zack de la Rocha has signed up to be a judge on UK X-Factor 2010.
