| | Posted: | | | | That's funny as according to the BBC Evening News and BBC Radio 1 Chart Show it's the X Factor winner.
So it all depends on which Chart generator as to who is No. 1.
That's the trouble when everybody has their own chart.

Not according to the news on the radio this morning, the BBC news website, the BBC Chart show website or the covers of two newspapers... if anyone is saying different they must have done some 'creative accounting' or made a bad early prediciton (or won't play Rage because of the Lyrics!). Even Simon Cowell says "I am gutted for Joe because a number one single meant a lot to him but I have to congratulate Jon and Tracy, who started the Facebook campaign." Happy to say I was one of the 500,000 downloaders who helped Rage get the top spot  | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong | | | | Last edited: by Voltaire53 |

I never understood these types of campaigns. If you like a song, buy it. If you don't, don't. It a statement of getting art back into popular music. Music right now has went back like almost 50 years before the Beatles went international where you had nuns topping the chart. Of course factoring in the sociological changes there still of the same mind set. And it's ppl like me who want to reset the musical landscape to something more than rapers with there endless garbage banging women and getting money and jumped up karaoke singers such as the idol and x factor winners. That have destroyed popular music. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

| | Posted: | | | | Art is in the eye of the beholder so I don't know how you are going to get it back into popular music when, I am quite sure, there are a lot of people who believe it never left.  One of the reasons I don't understand these types of campaigns is because all it did was put more money into the pockets of people who probably didn't need it. Will 'The X Factor' be cancelled as a result? Probably not. Will American Idol be cancelled? I doubt it. The people who like that music, and there are a lot of them, will continue to watch those shows and buy that music. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

It's obvious you don't listen to rap, because that generalization is just retarded. Outkast where ok at the start of this decade but what's happen to rap, hip hop, RNB now is just gone stale much like disco did in the late 70's. I do like some Public Enemy Run DMC and De La Soul stuff from the 80's mainly before Salt and Pepper decided to set the trend that would result in the crap it is today. |

The Manics a band i mentioned in a previous thread took $400,000 dollars worth of Sonys money to make a record in a small house in Wales. All the while publicly admitting they where taking all there money to make there art and don't give a flying f what Sony thought. The record also tanked selling only 200,000 copys yet is regarded as being one of the greatest of the 90's. Point being corporate power in most cases is need to sell records. It's the manner in which you do it though. |

I have other interest that consume my time beyond music i simply don't have time to go looking for the most obscure. I was talking in the mainstream sense though but if you have anything of less popular interest that is good feel free to direct me to some of it. And what's so ironic about that any way. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |
