x-factor is like simon cowels personal automatic teller machine.
and i for one think the music that comes out of the x factor is Poop.
so i am going to try and get something else to number one for those two incredibly amazing reasons.
and the lyrics for RATM are brilliant. if you dont like it. dont buy it. no one is forcing you.
*goes back to listening to as i lay dying*

:doh:
But they are both SONY
Simon Cowel is syco records, which is owned by Columbia, who's parent company is Sony BMI.
Rage against the machine are on Epic records which is part of Sony BMI.
If you've an issue with Cowell, stop buying boycott Sony products, don't just line their pockets more.
JimP:
Not so sure it's purely against Simon Cowell, its against the X factor having christmas number 1 ever year, even though the song is a load of puke!
dxmedia:
They are every year anyway.
Best attempt at a christmas no 1 was maiden and bring your daughter to the slaughter in 1990. Cliff Richard popped that one to the post.
carbore:
Personally I think the dominance of Mr Cowell is due to the diversity of the music industry today as opposed to anything terrible and oppressive. There is so much choice due to the MP3 market that the old method of having a choice of records in WHSmith means that the consumer spread is much more diverse. Therefore anything that causes a "blip" such as x-factor marketing, Facebook,Donnie Darko etc etc is just a blip. Number 1 these days is meaningless in terms of sales as most of them wouldnt have got anywhere in the charts 20 yeas ago in terms of percentage sales.
And anyway, I bought rage against the machine when it was out last originally so "no, I wont do what anyone tells me"
Saffy:
here's an idea - how about a Christmas no.1 actually being reserved for a Christmas Song instead of non seasonal pap.
