Finally got around to joining this site, after well over a year being a frequent reader! :)
I'm glad to see Journey climbing up the chart, and with Glee airing tomorrow night that should give the song more publicity and hopfully gaurentee it a place in the christmas top 10. I'm surprised to see how much of an impact RATM has made, and normally i would agree with saying that i would rather a non-X-factor christmas number one; however this year i'm hoping Joe does get the number one spot, as i do like the song, and i love him. If it had been Olly win i wouldn't have bought it, so the people saying about people being "brainwashed" ect are quite off the mark, i'm buying the song as i like the song, not just because i like The X-Factor
