The Rolling Stones magazine had the Jonas Brothers on the cover a few months ago I think that says it all!
However yea you're right about it being a classic anthem.

wont count towards the chart, im pretty sure the price has to be above 40p for the track to be counted, its to stop labels fixing prices at like 2p or something crazy to get millions of downloads
Aparently it does because Amazon pay the difference - I suppose they just want to attract people to the buy from them.
Anyway I know this campaign is probably going to fail because lots of the XFactor shit will be sold in physical CD today as people go out to buy xmas presents - but the whole thing has still amused me anyhow!
Im going into town today, im going to go to all the HMVs and put the x-factor CDs behind the Peter Andre stuff, sorted.
It would be if i was a member of rage. Lots of fun
the members of rage have already promised their earnings from it are going towards a UK charity
and tom morello has put this on his twitter

I don't know how true this is but I've been told that for any more sales of RATM to rank for xmas No.1 it needs to be downloaded before 3pm today.
Needless to say I've gone and bought my copy.

fecking prick. Come on people one final push.....GET OUT AND BUY IT!
I just dont get it all. Someone break it down for me without the point being stopping X factor winning it becuase it sells the most every christmas. I don't know, i dont care who wins number 1 anytime of the year.
Fair does to the guys at Rage. They are loving it, i would be too! Just hope its not Coldplay next year!

Don't know if this has been posted, but here's a way to download it for free and still make it count: Rage Against The Machine Chart Vote for free with no Credit Card 100% Confirmed! - HotUKDeals Forum
Basically you can download Nokia's music player for free, and then use 4 promotional codes to buy RATM for free - afterwards I just uninstalled the music player.

Or you could just pay 29P.
Absolutely, or do both - not trying to stop people donating money to charity, just adding another way to keep RATM ahead of the XFactor crap
Joe added: "I will be really disappointed if it doesn't go to No1 after all the effort I've put in to this and winning the show."
That guy is a fecking cnut!!
That guy is a fecking cnut!!
Indeed.
I just looked on Amazon's mp3 download page and you have to scroll down 2 pages to even see RATM mentioned. The xfactor kid stupid face is all over the page. CONSPIRACY!
Totally. feck i really hope this happens now after reading that interview.
I'm now trying the Nokia method, I have it installed for my phone anyway. Already purchased off of iTunes.
I can't stand that little feckers face.

He will come out as gay soon. Its fecking guaranteed.
Probably.
Nokia method works too by the way.

I'll be getting mine today, love RATM anyway.
I hope the X Factor gets top spot, it'll be worth it seeing all you spastics go mental. I can't even remember the last decent Xmas No. 1 anyway, and I don't really give a feck about the charts in any case.
ParJudas!
Hardly gonna lose sleep over it.
While I admire the display of people power apparent from this episode of forcing RATM it's way to UK No.1/2 I must also reiterate Elvis' comment of you all being spastics.
They're both managed/owned/lolled by SONY BMG. Whoever gets to number 1 it's all more money in Simon Cowell's bosses pocket and thus Simon Cowell's pocket too.
I mean, seriously, if you were going to launch a fecking attempt at getting a single to number 1, atleast pick a band who were on a different fecking label. That's surely basic principle number 1 of attempting to hijack the charts vs one song/man/label.

Let me just reiterate the point; No one gives a feck about Simon Cowell.
The campaign isn't aimed at Simon Cowell, nor is it about him.
Why are you all so bothered if Joe gets to #1 anyway? Is it going to affect your life? Will you wake up, see the news, and cry into your bowl of sugar puffs, that yet another shit song has managed to reach #1 spot in the charts, despite this being pretty much the case for the past god knows how many years?
Yeah, you're all spastics. Except Biscuit, he's OK.

This it completely about Cowell and his monopoly on the Xmas No.1
You bought RATM didn't you?
Only to find out it's made Cowell some money.
Hehehehahe.
How has it made Cowell money? Rage are signed to Sony, not Cowell's label. It's like saying buying a PS3 will "make Cowell money".
Sony are the parent company so to speak. Even Cowell has his bosses.
I know, but how will buying RATM's single make Cowell money?
In the broadest sense possible of course, the richer the bosses get etc. Plus, it's making him a whole load of publicity - for free - either way Sony are making money, the Sony fat-cats will be pleased with Cowell for causing this. Which he did, anyway you look at it.
I think the song is labelled to Syco, which is a subsidiary of Sony BMG, which Cowell has a pretty large share in
No its not. I couldn't give a feck if Simon Cowell is made the richest man on the earth, as long as Xfactor isn't ensured a monopoly on the Christmas number 1.
I have bought Killing in the name of, several times, in the knowledge that Cowell would make a tiny amount from my purchase. Its an irrelevance.
Yes but when you say the Xfactor isn't ensured a monopoly on the christmas number 1, you may aswell say Cowell.
Cowell is the Xfactor. So whether you are personally against the show or the man is an irrelevance to be fair. When they are one and the same.
the RATM is on the Epic label, which is a subsidiary of Sony, while cowell owns another subsidiary of sony called syco
Epic is part of Sony BMG, as is Syco. They both answer to the same bosses eventually.
I can just imagine Cowell sat at home, logged into Facebook starting up that group!
To take down the X Factor, you need to take down Cowell. Simple really.
True, perhaps a better investment would have been the 'Lets hire a Hitman to take out Cowell' facebook group. Cheaper too I would imagine.
The Sony argument is completely void of rationale. Every record label sucks up to some parent company whether it be Sony, EMI, Warner etc. There are really no truly independent labels capable of having music heard by anyone other than a small number of people and so having no chance of challenging something as truly horrifying as the Xfactor.
I think that RATM track was a good choice. I shouldn't have to spell out why.
