Are you getting fed up about the possibility of ANOTHER X-Factor Christmas No.1? ...us too...so we're going to do something about it!
We are all buying a download of 'KILLING IN THE NAME' by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE right NOW! until the end of Saturday 19th December (23:59pm).
THIS IS NOT A CLEVER ADVERTISING PLOY, LOOK UP RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ON WIKIPEDIA, THEY ARE DEFINATLEY NOT SOME LARGE CORPORATE PUPPET THEY SUPPORT MANY GOOD CAUSES AS DOES THE FACEBOOK GROUP PUSHING THIS
LET'S GET RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE TO THE CHRISTMAS NO.1 SPOT THEN!
We cannot mass message all members. Facebook disable that option on large groups!
Q: So how do we do this then?
A: Take your pick(s) of the digital providers below. It should take you to the page where you can purchase your copy of KILLING IN THE NAME. in most cases it's track#2 but check before you click!
Q: Why have you used shortened links?
A: It gives us a ROUGH idea of how we are doing on sales. I can get a click count this way
Q: But there's other websites now offering RAGE for Xmas links?
A: Yes, but these links right here were created by the creators of the whole campaign themselves. They are not 'affiliate' links so therefore nobody gets any sort of 'commision'. You don't need to go anywhere else.
Q: When do i buy 'Killing In The Name'?
A: NOW until Saturday 19th December at 23:59pm
Q: Can I buy loads of downloads?
A: In a nutshell no. If the Chart company see unusual selling patterns they can ignore the bulk purchases or worse still remove the track completely. As admin I cannot be seen to encourage this

I wish I understood the point of this.
Me and my friends are doing this! Yay!
You think they aren't a corporate puppet?
They're pretty much owned by Sony. So I'd say they're a bit like Pinnochio, they have no strings, but they're still a little b***h.

Either way Simon Cowell wins lol - he always does!
I will be taking part, just because I love the song! It is one of my favourite and for the chance to see at number one woulbe great (I don't think I've ever owned a song that was currently at the top of the charts...so to have one a fair few months before it hit number one here and now would be excellent).
And to be honest, if it means another manufactured pop song misses taking the christmas number one, I'm too happy to assist...

Well what a stupid stupid idea.
So much for Christmas. Let's just cancel it altogether shall we?
It's just rage against the machine fanboys wanting their band to be Number 1 at Christmas. Well if they did a DECENT CHRISTMAS SONG then I would say that was fine.
BUT IT ISN'T A CHRISTMAS SONG!!!!

Maybe, but it will be an interesting experiment and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing how an idea can affect the charts

To be fair, you are right, but at the same time X-Factor don't produce decent Christmas songs. In fact generally they butcher classics.
I'm not too fussed in general what is a Christmas number one - I tend to just like music, whether it's popular or not. X-Factor number ones get there usually because of a popularity contest and not through talent(this single, although in the process of being released, has been plugged for months and months through a controversial reality TV show/popularity contest).
The charts for me say nothing. I couldn't even tell you what songs have been number one this month (I couldn't even actually name a number one hit this year...).
To cut a long story short, I am doing this for several reasons
a) I love the song (as stated earlier)
b) Annoyed at X-Factor (as stated throughout this post)
c) Am interested in seeing the result of a mass effort to prevent an event that is likely to happen anyway.
> BUT IT ISN'T A CHRISTMAS SONG!!!!
They talk about crosses though...
(please treat that last comment with the contempt it deserves...)
*Note: This was not aimed specifically at pb's post, but he helped provide a basis for my argument...and I would in fact support his alternate choice for xmas number one with exactly the same argument :)

Hmmm don't think you watched X Factor Hippy. :P
All the X Factor songs are newly written. Not saying they are good, because I don't think they are. But they are new.
The X Factor song is only announced and sung 3 days before it's released. The popularity of the show certainly creates publicity but I would say for the show, not the song.
Inevitably this idea is going to fail massively. A facebook group competing against the most popular show on TV (arguably) and Simon Cowell combined...............
I know who my money is on.
