Their group only got 85,000 sales last year and RATM did more than in one day lol!
92,000 is the 2nd largest download in Europe in ONE day behind Alexandra Burke! :eek:

And at least the song was written by the band, unlike the Buckley song, or the x Factor song, which are both covers.
I'd suspect many of the RATM lot will feel silly in 10 years when they remember flocking around Facebook to buy a song (regardless of whether or not they liked it) just because it was going to #1.
I suspect they would think that it is a great laugh... That's how I'm looking at it... Come its Christmas
I thought it had be established that the campaign was started by an A+R man at Sony? Or is that a vicous lie?!
Indeed it is a vicious lie.
I mean everyone gets it, buy RATM. We don't need to hear about it 24/7
I'd suspect many of the XFactor lot will have forgotten all about the pish that that show spawned in 10 years. At least when I look back in 10 years time, I will be contented that I contributed to the fall of the scourge of the british music industry.
I'm going to create a thread about them tomorrow. You inspired me to do so with your whinging.
I think you've got your hopes up a bit if you think this is going to change the music industry.
It's hardly a fall, more a little sting.
Even if Joe isn't #1 this week, he will be next week.
Well then I suppose i'll have to hope natural selection finally kills off all the devolved disgraces that actually buy this tripe.
If it does get to number 1, we're all feel like we're part of something, surely that's what Christmas is about? :S
I feel a bit insulted when somebody tells me that I bought a song I don't like. This is a sweeping generalisation and is total rubbish. I bought KITN AFTER listening to it, and liked it. If the campaign was for a song by Nickelback, I'd avoid it like the plague because I think they're a terrible band. Why is it so hard to accept that people who buy KITN are doing so because they actually like the song? It sounds to me like a bunch of pathetic excuses from sore X Factor fans. :rolleyes: Personally I think it's been a brilliant choice of song, and an excellent campaign that shows just how great people power is in the face of the commercial giant.
Surely the exact thing could be said for the X factor song just replace "RATM" with Joe and "Facebook" with "TV Show" :rolleyes:
And you talk as if KITN is a new song? It's 17 years old and still remains as (if not more) loved.
Don't rise to it. C14E is Cowell's biggest fan.
Exactly. The x-factor is already a joke to some people, imagine how bad it'll look in 10 years.
RATM on the other hand, still have a large underground following today, 17 years after their debut album was released, and it's still considered a classic by many critics and fans alike. No x-factor wanabes can claim that (yet).
I wonder if we will still be talking about Joe in 17 years time?
Nobody will be talking about him in 7 years time.
7 months anyone?
I won't be talking about him in 7 minutes.
Damn, that was terrible.
LOL if they actually remember it in 10yrs i'd be betting on them laughing about it rather than feeling silly - its hardly earth shattering spending less than a pound to download a song.
To be honest I think its more likely those buying the Joe song will be more embarassed that they bought that song what was it called 10yrs ago. XF winners singles aren't exactly songs that are memorable.
Yes I have suspected for sometime C14E is either the high waisted one himself or possibly Max Clifford, an employee, the ageless Sinitta or maybe one of the other numerous exs.
That's not just because it's going to #1. But is undoubtedly influenced by an attachment to the act as a result of 10 weeks on tv.
I said silly, not stupid. People laugh at silly things they did in the past, so I'd agree there.
Hardly. While we may have disagreed that Leon Jackson was a talent who could have been a star given the right management, I have plenty of criticisms not least this years predictable winners single after last years slightly more interesting (albeit controversial) choice. A better song and Joe would be off to a better start. Even ignoring the chart, it isn't selling that well and it seems clear Cowell chose the wrong song.
