No, it wouldnt, you can buy online beleive it or not.

But yeah, i agree with the internet thing.

And no i don't really think it would of been a different story with olly, even hough he's better and more likeable to a wider audience than joe, people are still sick of simon cowell gettign all the money.

yeah i know that lmao. but if you think of target audience, a lot of the older audience who would have voted would not be able to download it, as they prefer buying CDs.

no i mean it would be a different story for samsa. not for the chart position. he wouldnt be cheering had it have been olly that came 2nd in the charts.

and people can buy online, yes, but, youre forgetting people over 40 wouldnt know where to start. or at least the majority of them

If people bought the RATM **** as they are sick of Cowell getting all the money, then they are complete mugs.

RATM are on SImon's record label.

[samsaBEAR]

i wonder if youd support rage as much if olly had won..

aha, i didn't really support rage at all, i didn't buy the song. but you're right, i probably would've bought olly's a few times if he had won x factor

let's be honest. the only reason RATM won is because the internet is full of greasy long haired computer geeks who actually enjoy listening to that... noise. plus if it wasn't for the snow keeping she shoppers away, it would have been a completely different story.

how about you take your head out of your arse and stop stereotyping RATM fans? judging by your post, you're clearly a tracky pant wearing yob who likes to go around causing mayhem because your parents didn't bring you up properly.

i don't know why all the Joe fans are all getting major buthurt and making excuses over this. the point is, RATM fans were more dedicated to getting them to number 1. sotp making excuses and face up to the fact that Joe lost, it has nothing to do with the snow or **** like that, that's why iTunes and Amazon MP3 and all that was invented, so you can download a song from the luxury of your own home.

Wupwupwupwup what did she sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Sorry I thought the thread needed at least some semblance of good music and I don't think anything new's been said for a while anyway it's just abuse (mainly aural from the two contending songs)

Nope, it was because they are sick of X-Factor automatically getting #1 at this time of year EVERY year.
Nope, the label is Sony and some of the money for RATM was donated to charity .

[Nixt]

Funny thing that this controversy will prob help him stick around a little longer.

The label is Sony indeed.

Syco Music is sony.

[Sunnily]

Lol this is like war but with x factor finally failing for once. You can't say that rage against the machine was the best song at all.

Joe McElderry 'on course for No. 1'

Rex Features
Joe McElderry is on course to reach number one with his single 'The Climb', according to midweek sales figures.

The X Factor winner, who was sensationally held off the Christmas top spot by Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name', is currently outselling his rivals by two to one.

'The Climb' has shifted 80,000 copies over the past two days, while 'Killing In The Name' has sold 40,000.

McElderry's success has been driven by CD sales of 'The Climb', which stand at 53,000 so far this week.

X Factor judge Louis Walsh recently claimed that the track, which sold 450,000 copies last week, could pass the million mark in the New Year.

Lady GaGa's single 'Bad Romance' is currently in third place, figures from the Official Charts Company reveal.

On the album chart, Michael Buble's Crazy Love has a marginal lead of 5,000 over Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream, which has held the top spot for the past four weeks.
