I am a teenager (spots are calming down now though) Christmas number one is only relevant to 10 year olds due to the crap being released, if some good music is around Im more interested.

I'm quite happy with the result, If you don't complain about being force fed banal common denominator s**t, that relies on offending the least number of people possible to get sales, eventually that's all you'll be offered.

I would actually be quite interested to know the ages of each person here! Like, isn't the Christmas no 1 only of relevance to 10 year olds nowadays??
In my 30's seen RATM many years ago. Now middle aged, in a job that places me now as middle class. Does that mean anything? I really doubt it. Not cared about the Christmas number one ever really. Doubt I will next year either.An excerpt from a music class of mine:
"Sir, can you play something good?"
"There are more than 8000 tracks on this Ipod and it's on shuffle, I don't do requests."
"But can't we have something good"
"Do you mean something from the TV or the radio"
"Yeah..."

Simon, I'm sure there is an equally compelling argument against people who only like music that doesn't chart and then tell others how superior they are.
Why do people look for a deeper meaning in music than they do in tv and internet?

Oh crumbs - I hope no one was upset by what I wrote. I put a big smile there too as i wasn't being particularly serious heh. For what it's worth I am a big fan of X Factor but never heard anything that would cause me to go out and buy it. I do own a copy of Leona lewis' album and also I have a copy of Jouney South's album too but they were both given to me.
I think Leona Lewis doing Summertime was just amazing, and liked her version of Run, oh and there was a track or two off the first Will Young album I really liked, but that was about it.

I bought both so I won twice

Simon - Not in the least, it was an interesting point you raised. Is age a factor in the type and or diversity of the music you consume. Does education or academic ability come into it?
I once did a DTP project creating a CD insert with a final year class. The highest grades for the project went to those with a defined taste in music (no matter how diverse) an the lowest to those that did "Greatest Hits" type compilations... A small sample set but interesting at the time.
