Christ, I hate Cliff Richard, what a moron. In the 70s and 80s bands like Wizard, Slade and Wham etc. created Christmas songs that stayed true to their glam rock roots and when The Darkness wrote Christmas Time I hoped it would start a trend of modern rock bands writing modern rock Christmas songs about Christmas, but sadly notTrivun said:
Its a song that I havent heard in awhile.. mostly because I kind of went through my RATM phase in middle school and never listened to them as much as I did around then...
I have no idea what X Factor is, Google pretty much tells me its like American Idol sort of show, but Im not clear on that. Anyway, good job I guess? showing me that a bunch of people on the internet can actually affect things in sales, even when previous acts and other boycotts have failed miserably

1. I don't really give a damn. Haven't heard either song, and aren't likely to.
2. A spaceman came traveling is the Number 1. Christmas song, so all of this arguing is futile.
PS Though I've not heard either song, I am happy that the X Factor hasn't won.

I love how they used the voice trail with Simon Cowell after RATM were playing as the No.1 on Radio 1.
The X Factor came from the Idol series. UK music mogul Simon Cowell did the first Idol show here in good old Blighty, Pop Idol, based on earlier Simon Fuller show Popstars. Cowell then took Pop Idol to the USA where he renamed it American Idol, sold the rights to various other countries, and replaced the original UK version with a similar talent show called The X Factor. More recently he created Britain's Got Talent which is a similar show, but for all talents (not just singing) where the prize was money and a chance to appear in the annual Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen. Other countries now do the same, but with a monetary prize instead.DiscoveryOne said:
Hope this helps
.Didn't give either artist my money, because I don't care. *gets flag* See here. Tis a flag of my not caringness.
Whilst on one hand I'm amused by the putting a loud, crude rock song as Christmas No. 1 I can't help wondering what would happen if all those people had given their 65p to charity instead.
Having said that, Rage are apparently planning to give most of their take to charity anyway, happy days.

I never thought it'd happen, but I was wrong. And verily I am glad I was wrong. Perhaps if Joe had covered some Slayer instead he'd have pipped RAtM.
