Well is anyone else actually bored of an X Factor no.1? Yes.

Good idea for next year nevertheless :dance: Maybe release a "British Artists Against X-Factor" like Hungary did for Homophobia :dance: U2p4J9tiL-w

The Mirror and their facts... Brookstein didn't debute at #1 either <_<

Fans of X Factor winner Joe McElderry besieged HMV in his home town of South Shields yesterday as he signed copies of his new CD there. But his chances of beating rivals Rage Against The Machine to the Christmas No1 took a blow as his record company failed to get the CD into many shops yesterday, blaming "distribution issues". Only Asda and HMV had copies, with other outlets expecting it today. Latest figures show Joe's single The Climb is 60,000 sales BEHIND Rage's 1992 hit Killing In The Name, which is being bought as a protest vote against Simon Cowell's show. The two songs combined had sold around 300,000 downloads last night. However, retail insiders insisted Joe had clocked up 80,000 more yesterday, which will close the gap. His CD may also be bought later this week by fans who have already downloaded the single as it contains two of his X Factor songs as bonus tracks, Somebody to Love and Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. Joe, 18, is downplaying the chart battle. He said: "It's the same as any song going against another song in a normal chart. Good luck to them." He signed 500 copies of his CD for fans, some of whom had queued overnight with tents and umbrellas, braving freezing temperatures, to make sure they got wristbands for the Tyneside signing. Among the fortunate few were Jamara Cook, 19, and her four friends. She said: "We've been here since 5.30am. My toes are numb, but we wanted to get a signed copy of Joe's new single and see him in person." BEATEN Hmv spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said he was still tipping Joe to top the chart. He said: "It's going to be a much closer race than predicted but we remain confident Joe will do it." Beaten finalist Olly Murs also backed Joe: "I am going to buy his single today. Joe's going to be phenomenal," he told the Mirror. If he doesn't make it, Joe will be the first X Factor winner not to debut at No1. The past four winners took the Christmas top spot and in the first series Steve Brookstein's single was released at the end of the year and also got the main prize. LINK

KITN winning convincingly here... now what would make a better Xmas no.1, a song that the majority despises or a song that the majority actually likes? Eh... there's nothing more I can say... eh, eh...

It's most of all the line "f*** you I won't do what you tell me" x17 as a reaction to Simon "The Grinch" "Stalin" Cowell's rampage. I can get into that. The point wouldn't come across if we would've gone for Girls Aloud's "Call the shots" I fear :unsure:

Probably the album -_-

Don't people understand that RATM is a serious attempt to get the validation of the charts back?

LOL oh that video is just AMAZING xD

RATM needs to have the Xmas #1 for the sake of this country, its children, its liberalism, its freedom, its... sanity!

Joe McElderry whatever he bloody releases. Olly Murs whatever he bloody releases. Stacey Solomon whatever she bloody releases. I-Yaz - Chinese like a melody in my head. Jason Derulo's new one. Ellie Goulding with whatever she releases. N-Dubz - Playing with fire. Owl City - Fireflies.

Honestly they should give the people who bought it shock therapy :teresa:

Maybe it'll work in his advantage in this case?

Every copy sold is a copy counting... it's so typical to pretty much 'go to the police' when the outcome isn't as people desire.

The lead's continuously extending *cheers* YAY!!! Thanks for the update mate :)

For being bad, being dropped before able to release a followup on his album, having a bad album, and most noticably winning a competition on nothing more than nationalism.

Yeap, unfortunately most of those prefer materialism, money, objects... over true emotion, what is inside... but well I'm sure many on this forum do as well <_<

Okay boss *shrugs*

Well who fecking cares about X Factor, X Factor is materialism while the world should be running on emotion a tad bit more. If X Factor loses this year, emotion wins over materialism :teresa:

Like now Leon Jackson is only known for the bad reasons :dance:

Pop bars anyone?

...and Leon could've easily been beaten as well :(

*sigh* Some people just won't listen.

OMFG :mellow:

I hope Louis & Dannii quit after being stomped over this season. It's not the first time...
