So have you bought what is shaping up to be this years biggest song? If so, what was the main reason?

Posted by: Jester Nov 17 2014, 08:41 PM

Im thinking about getting it, and if I do, it will be primarily for charity. Although its worth it for me for the Chris Martin part!

Not yet, but will do. I doubt I'll listen to it much, but will probably play it at Christmas parties if it gets requested.

Haven't got it yet but will get it closer to Xmas - spread those sales out

I will buy the cd or vinyl in December not for any of the reasons above just to have as a moment in pop history

I've bought it as it's not available for streaming until January i.e. when it'll stop being relevant (until next xmas) and I wanna listen to it for the festive period. The charity aspect also but I haven't bought the CIN single so I voted for 'like the song' but it's a bit of both.

Nope and have no intention of buying it. I can't vote in the poll as I have to vote in the bottom part too and they're all options for yes.

Posted by: SPINNING ADAM Nov 17 2014, 08:53 PM

I haven't even listened to it yet

Is there any way to avoid choosing an option for the second question? I had to pick one so I chose (because I like the song )

Posted by: Jester Nov 17 2014, 08:54 PM

Oops! Second question expanded to include a NO.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 17 2014, 08:55 PM

No to both

Posted by: Euphorique Nov 17 2014, 08:56 PM

I wouldnt. I'd rather donate to a charity directly than purchase this song...

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 17 2014, 08:56 PM

Yep, like the song (the charity giving is a bonus but not a catalyst as I give to quite a few charities anyway)

I have downloaded it and I voted 'to give to charity' but I do like the song as well!

Posted by: James1987 Nov 18 2014, 01:01 AM

Exactly my thoughts...such an underwhelming track not a patch on the original or even Band Aid 20 which I liked! I'd rather just donate the money direct to the charity

I have downloaded it, and reasons are a mixture of charity/liking song/liking artists. I honestly think it's a nice version and I'm a little bit bemused by the reaction to it! Anyway, the most important reason would be for the charity aspect of it - I'll buy the CD too.

I will probably buy it for the sole reason that it isn't on Spotify until it's pointless to play it.

I haven't bought it yet, and haven't decided yet whether or not I will, so there wasn't really an accurate second choice in this poll for me. In the end I chose the middle first option and the top second option, because if I do buy it, it will be primarily to help the charity, and also to buy a moment in pop history. Not really sure who most of the artists are this time round tbh, and not overly keen on this version, but it may yet grow on me.
