Amazon sales don't count towards chart placings.

This is all a crusty puddle of pish really but if you get any enjoyment out of it and it isn't hurting anyone (esp. Mr Cowell) then why not.I'd rather donate my spare change to some wino that would put it to better use.

A fairly meaningless distinction I'd say.

But if you buy it at 29p from Amazon it doesn't count towards the charts.

Read a few posts from the first page, couldn't be arsed reading the next few...

My take on it is,
I love Rage. I really love em. :notworthy:

Couldn't give a flying f*ck about all this crap though. Charts were manipulated back in the day when they stopped the Sex Pistols getting to No.1 so who cares about it all now.

Good luck to Rage, hope they get it just to p*ss the majority off however.

Don't like RATM and I've never watched, and never been interested in, the X factor.

From what I have understood from all this is that I'd rather Christmas number 1 wasn't angry and abrasive. I guess that means I'm pro X Factor. I'm all for songs about drugs, violence & sex, but I'd rather not have them between the Queen's speech and the Dr Who special thankyou very much.

If one were going to choose a RATM song for such a campaign, surely "Take The Power Back" would be more apt?
For what it's worth, I quite like Killing In The Name Of SebastiAn, as it makes a change from hearing the original everywhere.

I'm not buying either. I will top the charts one day. Just not this December. I have more important things to do.

Unfair.ROCP are 9 on the Travis scale. David Grey is 8.
To clasify RATM anywhere near that end of the Travis scale is an injustice. ;D
