December 20, 200916 yr I think Joe has it in the bag, the momentum was definitely in his favour and with 'Super Saturday' and all, unless the RATM group seriously up their download rate there would have been no way they could catch up. They did.
December 20, 200916 yr The rate between RATM and Gaga on that last bar was as close as it has been in the last few days. I'd say Joe's just fallen, rather than RATM "massively increased". We'll see though tomorrow. Edited December 20, 200916 yr by Sharpshooter
December 20, 200916 yr Get real. I wouldn't find that TOO hard to believe. I have a feeling that sales were MASSIVE today. My mate works in HMV in Bexleyheath and they sold out within an hour of opening shop today.
December 20, 200916 yr If i was in Uk i would have bought the RATM song. Just as a protest. Look what wonderful battles were in past times: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...as-1845917.html
December 20, 200916 yr Author Just like to say thanks to everyone who has contributed to the thread this week it has been a very interesting week, fingers cross for RATM to nail it, and its not a dig at Joe, the track is horrific, Simon Cowell should have chose a better track for him. The thread will remain open till around 2 to 3pm, all chat will continue in the Sunday Chart Show thread. And I must stress this out PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY SALES INFORMATION OR ANY SPOILERS some of us don't want to know, just keep it to yourselves.
December 20, 200916 yr I wouldn't find that TOO hard to believe. I have a feeling that sales were MASSIVE today. My mate works in HMV in Bexleyheath and they sold out within an hour of opening shop today. When i said get real, i was meaning like how did they get to know info so early. I'm not saying its impossible for joe to be no1 by 50,000 copies.
December 20, 200916 yr Perhaps you have a point about the British artists though, that is a concievable flaw in this campaign. However, not George Michael or the Pet Shop Boys, it's not as if either of them were ever 'anti-establishment'! :lol: My vote would have gone to Iron Maiden - a British institution, over 70 million records sold worldwide, and one of the all-time great heavy-metal acts. you're right.. they should have chosen a song by a classic British rock group such as Iron Maiden, the Sex Pistols, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd or Def Leppard... not some B-rate rock group from the early 90's... :puke2: at this stage i'd rather see Joe at the top.. since i would've prefered a "number 1 worthy" song for the "campaign" not 'Killing in the name' which sounds like a zillion other grunge rock B-sides....
December 20, 200916 yr I liked someone's idea earlier about Fairytale of New York for next years campaign. There's so many good reasons for it - 10 years since Kirsty passing, its a well loved christmas song, but also an anti-christmas song as well, deals with dreams and also reality - and theres no way Simon could knock it and saying that its bullying the x factor winner for those reasons above. And who knows, if we're still suffering in a recession in christmas 2010 - with probably a conservative government - well it just fits
December 20, 200916 yr Well whether you're on the side of RATM or Joe, or anyone else its been a rather interesting Xmas chart. Personally i'd rather none of the two got to #1 but at least its ignited a bit of interest
December 20, 200916 yr 7 Digital reckon Rage may have sold over 100k yesterday due to the shares???! on their site, but I am not sure how reliable they are.
December 20, 200916 yr That was just an estimate of mine, im not so sure now though. If it was an estimate, why dod you state it as a definate fact? Oh anyway.
