Did some people actually think that thing at #21 could ever challenge X Factor winner? They're delusional. Show me someone who wants to buy silence because it's good? And isn't the point that you like something you buy? That's not even music for god's sake!

 

Saying it's not music is a bit harsh, infact there is actual sheet music to it. John Cage was a true musical genius (for other reasons than 4"33) and 4"33 was a masterpiece.

 

it's not silence, it's the sound you hear when you sit and just listen to nothing for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. It's about appreciation. It's a statement John Cage was trying to get across that pretty much every person who watches the X Factor clearly do no understand in an almost cringeworthy amount of non-understanding of culture on their part.

 

And anyway who want's to buy silence? well i'd perfer to buy silence giving money to charity then for an awful Biffy Clyro cover that makes money for Cowell's 52nd swimming pool.

 

 

It's a shame it only made 21, but alas too many campaigns and the genius of the RATM campaign is too dated even a year on to happen again.

The Pogues at #19 the week before the expected peak :D Maybe they can match the #12 they got the past 2 years

Good to see this top 20 and ahead of Mariah Scarey

Has this really only been out for thirteen weeks? It seems like it's been around for YEARS!

Somewhere, in a water-filled cave, John Cage is weeping.

What was the point of Dappy coming in :huh:

 

I hate how arrogant he is

Did we really need interviews with Katy B, Devlin & Dappy on Xmas week? Utter crap with all the songs he skipped as well!

 

THIS. I think Reggie's trying to be more factual lately, but he's still falling back on his "urban" mates and meaningless bull$h!t.

Good post, Chris - well put :D

This won't be the peak week for Christmas songs, they will both climb next week, and i wouldn't be surprised to see some more at the bottom end of the chart - since it's not actually Christmas yet :lol:

we still have The Wanted to come :(

Don't be ridiculous, its silence.... nothing.

 

Only a complete moron would actually pay money for an empty track, for whatever reason.

and futhurmore, did some people think it could challenge the x factor? well maybe not, but did anyone think a uncommercial 18 year old protest song that uses the word 'f***' 16 times could challenge the x factor? no, but they tried anyway, and look what chart position that got last year. it's worth trying because you never know, and this campaign was creative (unlike surfin bird) and made a load for charity, so I can't see how anyone can have a little bitch about the campaign existing unless they have a black heart and no sense of humour, it's just a campaign that also happens to make money for charity, it's not robbing your house.

 

Someone who expects more than silence back when they donate to charity is a horrible person indeed.

I just checked who John Cage is but that doesn't really change my point. I bet practically no one bought the song because they like the track in particular so it was never going to go #1.

Is this Silence song or whatever for charity?

Coldplay still to come

 

oh highest Christmas classic I guess then :P

 

and I know Christmas songs will peak next week- but the Pogues will most likely still be highest

So you think people who brought the track, people who gave money to charity, are morons, so charity donators are morons. You must be a lovely person.
