Rage Against The Machine for Christmas No.1

I get a bit tired of all these Facebook groups BUT this one is very worthwhile :D

Willkommen bei Facebook | Facebook

Sorry about the shouting title I was in the middle of editing it when it posted oops

I'd much rather the Muppets were #1 with their version of BoRap.

I'd love for Rage to be Christmas number one.

But I've seen something similar before... and it didn't work! :(

Yeh everyone signs up but no one buys, oh well we can dream. Having said thay I think you only need to sell 50 to get to number one maybe we can do it between us :D

I think Gordon Brown singing My Old Man's a Dustman should be number one for xmas....

Has no one considered the irony of this though....

Quoth the geek from classic RATM...

"***K you I won't do what you tell me"


:D

Well I joined and do intend to buy but unfortunately not until pay day.

There should be a group Anything *BUT* Rage Against The Machine for Xmas #1.

Ah yes... I must admit I hadn't quite figured it out, but I knew there was something not quite right about it all! :D

I disagree strongly.

This choice of song for Christmas number 1 is quite apt. Think of it this way, Simon Cowell's puppets always clinch Christmas number 1 because Cowell pretty much controls the media. In essence he is "The Machine" and we are to be defying/rebelling against him. Therefore we are raging against the machine. :) Plus the song lyrics lend themselves to this, "F**k you, I won't do what you tell me..." Liking RATM or not I think is less important than ruining Mr. Cowell's Christmas.

Exactly, liking the song or not isn't really the issue. Of course it would help ;)

RATM = Epic record label. Part of Sony.
Simon Cowell = Fingers in lots of pies, including Sony.

541,000 members - when I joined that group on Satruday there were but a mere 80,000 members.

Xmas number 1 last year sold approx 350,000 copies in the week leading upto christmas, so if only 2/3 of the people in that facebook group buy the song, it might actually do it.

The same idea got Jeff Buckley to Number 2 last year and only had about half the number of members in the group, so who knows.

I think it'll be funny if it happens - just think of future christmas number 1 hits compilation CDs. :D
