Ask for a refund !!!!!
Rage won the chart battle! Who would have believed that could happen at the start of the week!!
first time a xmas no1 has not been available as a physical format sad day indeed... not a fan of either song , rage sounds like a bad Beastie boys album track and i hate to say this but i prefer miley cyrus version of the climb
Firstly guys, I hat to say this but....
Amazon £0.29 for either.
Secondly, I'd like to put forward an argument here...
RATM won by 50,000 unit sales.
If you were the public that means £14,500 spend on Amazon ONLY to gain the lead.
If you were a record company (bearing in mind the download sites are selling at a loss or break even to get you on their sites) that means you would probablly get all that back in royalties.
£14,500 to get to No. 1 at Christmas. Makes you think right?
You'd have to pay 30/20/40 times that much just to get a 30 second advertising slot during X Factor.
Now who is being manipulated here? Do you really believe this is just grass roots or some clever marketing.
If Cowell was thinking that X Factor needed refreshing, who better to lose to than a rubbish track that will go nowhere. £14,500 is less than what he spends on T shirts in a year.
Conspiracy, right?

And its because of people like me (who went and bought the Miley Cyrus version out of "protest"*
), that her version made #31 in the charts.. either that or people bought the wrong version on itunes, etc. 
* it didnt cost me anything - had one free credit to use up on Sky Songs and about 3 hours to use it up
Best christmas No1 for a long time. Just goes to show what the internet can do. rage are donating a good portion of the revenue charity.
I heard that RATM are signed to SONY and that a certain Mr Cowell owns a few shares in sony..........quids in either way!
2 years in a row xfactor have released a cover - thats not very creative

Well I feel sorry for Joe. I hope he understands. He looks like a sensitive boy.
