I'd prefer a world where no campaign is needed. The whole point of this RATM one was to break up the monotony of X-Factor Xmas #1s. An annual campaign would simply be the same thing (albeit more diverse).

 

 

However I could be swayed by getting Fairytale Of New York to #1. Kirsty's anniversary of course and apart from that it is the greatest Xmas song EVER and the only one I can really stand anymore. It rises above yuletide cheese to levels previously and not since attained either.

All I Want for christmas is you by Mariah Carey,

 

Agreed

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

 

This is one of the only suggestions I've seen which I could see possibly working. The beauty of the Rage campaign was it picked a song which had a cult following and was pretty well-known, but which was actually owned by hardly anyone. Although it's probably true that the majority of their sales last week came from people who didn't like the band at all, it still took a loyal cult following of the band to get the campaign / Facebook group off the ground in the first place. So, it DOES need to be a song which is already known on some level, or the campaign would never get that initial spark. And it also rules out songs like Fairytale Of New York and All I Want For Christmas Is You, because too many people have bought them in recent years. Iris is one of the only songs I can think of which is widely-known by young people today but isn't that widely-owned. Don't Stop Believing was another until recently.

To be certain of a number one it has to be Fairytale Of New York. It will be exactly ten years since Kirstie's sad and early death. If it is any song it should be that one.

IMO this campaign is so stupid. Those who started it behave like little childen from kindergarden :D

 

I'd like to have the UK charts without stupid "Let's buy this song" campaigns. I have nothing against the X-Factor #1s. There's at least one country where marketing tools work properly ;)

Meh as long as a good song is #1, then I couldn't care less.

 

Tbf, It would be nice to see a nice, mellow-winterish orchestral ballad for Xmas #1, like Ben E. King's 'Stand By Me'. That would be cool!
