He hardly got 'destroyed' last time, did he?

I'm not a fan of the X Factor but nor do i care if the x factor winner gets xmas number 1. Surely campaigns such as this (and the RATM xmas no.1) are hypocritical. They're trying to stop an 'artificial' number one, but in the process are 'artificially' manufacturing an alternative number one.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Possibly the only living person smugger than Simon Cowell is Ricky Gervais. So for that reason, I'm out.

'Smells Like Teen Spirit' at Number One on the other hand would be one of the best Xmas things ever.

Exactly and frankly who gives a shit whats number one in the charts these days?

I thought Chas and Dave had split up?

1. Having a charity record at No. 1 on Xmas Day is surely better than a bland X Factor artist?
2. Karl Pilkington is brilliant.
3. Simon Cowell is anything but destroyed.

Yes, Simon Cowell will be totally destoyed by not getting Xmas number 1, but will probably be able to console himself with the 3 million singles it sells anyway

Do they still do the top 40?

Yup!

 

[Rookie]

I very much doubt whether Simon Cowell gives two hoots if one of his acts gets another xmas No 1

 

[clippedgull]

I won't be buying either record.

Whatever happens, Simon Cowell wins. I agree with [MENTION=16867]Finally Falmer[/MENTION] - this would just be an alternatively engineered artificial number 1. What these campaigns actually do is create a sales war that would not have happened otherwise. This will almost certainly result in the X Factor winner's single selling more copies, even if it does only go to number 2 in the charts.

As an example, my (musically-taste-challenged) girlfriend bought Joe McEldery's single the other year, simple because she didn't want Rage Against the Machine getting to number one.

Spot on, just gives them a load of free publicity

As 'it's better to be talked about...etc' you are helping him...

 

[FlownWest]

It was amusing the first time but doing this every year is pointless. The charts are worthless anyway, it's full of rubbish music all year around. Leave the chart-loving X-Factor fans to have their fun over the Christmas number one while the rest of us just get on with enjoying whatever music we're actually into.

Having said that, I like Karl Pilkington and buying a single simply because the money goes to charity is no bad reason.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I'd rather see one of Cowell's acts at No.1 than that imecile Pilkington. And for that reason I'm out.

 

[Frutos]

Why would having one smug twat (Gervais) at Number 1 be any better than having another smug twat (Cowell) there?
