J.KYDD Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=22...4.4045806762..1Fed up of Simon Cowell's latest karaoke act being Christmas No.1? Me too... So who's up for a mass-purchase of the track 'KILLING IN THE NAME' from December 13th (DON'T BUY IT YET!) as a protest to the X-Factor monotony?(Taken from frontpage)Need to draw maximum attention to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'd be game if it was a rickroll or something, as it stands, either can win for me and i wouldn't give a f**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I reckon the charts are all rigged anyway...Ditto. Unfortunately the public is too retarded and will go out and buy whatever Simon Cowell tells them to.With viewing figures estimated to reach 12 million for the final, I think any chance of RATM getting to number one, or anywhere near it, is impossible.Imagine how much of a twat Simon Cowell will look if this happened; I'm sure with his money, his money making singer and 'influence' within that shitty music sector, he could pull strings and certainly rig the competition.

Mat Tea Why Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Don't you remember last year guys?There was a group trying to get Jeff Buckley's rendition of Hallelujah to No 1 instead of the X factor tripe, and with bad planning and awful press coverage they still made it to No. 2.I think this is possible because RATM has a much bigger fan base than Buckleys, furthermore there is more of a point to the song this time around.I will be purchasing the song.

totaltrials Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 It's going to need over 500,000 sales. Last years number 1 made 576,000 I think it was. The group isn't even up to that amount yet and then I doubt even 30% of people in the group will purchase the song. But my god how I'd love it happen and I'm deffinitaly buying the song next week.

RobinJI Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Haha, this is a cool idea. Would be awesome if it makes it. Was gunna point out that there's probably not actually 500000+ copys of killing in the name in stock in record stores, as it's not really the kinda thing someone would buy as a single over an album. However I was forgetting the charts take into account legal downloads now, so it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 aren't you a day early dave?Mike Deere's just said that but from what I've read the start point for the charts was 00.01 this morning... That's what the facebook group, HotUKDeals and some random news place seemed to be saying. Would buy it again tomorrow if I was wrong though!

davey1991 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 EVERYONE if your doing this, IT ONLY COUNTS IF THE SONG COSTS MORE THAN 60p.Amazon have been cheaky and knocked the price down so it wont effect the charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beigemaster Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 If you are part of this group and you have already bought the single, let them know on the discussion board (NOT the wall) under the title "If you've bought this song since midnight Saturday confirm here". It will give them an idea of how many people in the group actually buy the tune. 1237 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 FFS The X-factor song is a Miley F**ing Cyrus cover!Which was in the charts like a month or 2 ago! this is whats wrong with the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Lets say X-Factor was watched by 15million like it was in series 5, you think this internet phenomenon can compete with sales Joe is going to create. Optimistic me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic me thinks.Doesn't matter how many people watch the program when the single is so shite... I think RATM may actually have a small shot at success. Rick Astley was amistake last year because who the hell actually wants to buy that? The sort of people who are likely to do this this year for RATM are the sorts of people who never buy music and I can see there being quite a lot going for this. People are buying multiple copies just to try and stop the X-Factor crap making it the the top... Fingers crossed it works, for no other reason than the radio and news coverage which wouldn't even be able to play the song . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry26rims Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 the sales to Rage will still line Simon's pocket! Record labels all part of Sony bmg and that, But this is a protest to the fact that the christmas no.1 single is dictated to us by the idea that a x-factor winner is worthy of christmas no.1. I don't think so, and if you don't then you can spend less than 2.50 and help abolish this myth. Jedward was my hope but they didn't quite do it so, Rage for no. 1!

Revolver Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 the sales to Rage will still line Simon's pocket! Record labels all part of Sony bmg and that...It will line Sony's pockets.And Rage's pockets, which is good, they should get back together and record.I will be happy if it gets to no.2, purely because it shows that it was at least possible.

forteh Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I still remember the day when radio1 play killing in the name in full, uncensored in the middle of the day Will be good if it goes to no 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
