the amazon one does count apparently. The facebook group lot did some digging, and the official line is that amazon buy it for 40p, and take an 11p hit on it.
and if you guys read the info on the group, you'd see that it's nothing personal against simon cowel (although he has had a few digs at the group), but its simply trying to get xfactor away from xmas number one and shake things up a bit. no one cares if some money from this finds its way into simons pockets.
They are also raising a lot of money for shelter in the process, doing a danm good job I think, best thing facebook has helped people achieve all year, even if it doesn't get the no 1 slot.
