Number 1 download most places today. If everyone in the facebook group actually downloads it, it should win by about 200k copies. Obv unlikely but then a fair few are buying 3 copies. |

That's what they said originally, but apparently it does count now.  Just found this: "The Official Singles Chart Rules do not specify a minimum retail selling price for the sale of a single to be eligible for inclusion in the Official Singles Chart, however they do specify a minimum published dealer price. This does not affect the ability of a retailer to carry out price promotions and any genuine consumer purchases made as a result of a retailer promotion will be eligible as long as the single meets all other applicable chart rules. In plain English - RAGTM & Joe Downloads from Amazon.uk DO count. " |

Simon Cowell brands campaign "cynical" http://www.nme.com/news/rage-against-the-machine/48821"Simon Cowell" and "cynical" in the same sentence. Whodathunkit?  What's your source for the Amazon track, Dan? If it'll count, I'll download it, otherwise I'll gladly pay the 40p elsewhere. Anything to stick one in Cowell's eye. Not that it will, of course, he'll still be multai whatever. |

My source is the internetz, so it must be true.
A number of people involved in the 'campaign' have contacted the chart people apparently to clarify the situation. But spend 49p if you're feeling balla.

A lot of the x-factor purchases are via amazon as well - so it's likely to affect both records' sales. |

Cowell will probably bully the chart people into accepting Amazon sales of 29p for the-X-factor-finalist-who-could-actually-sing, but not the RATM one. I can just picture Cowell in his office, in the style of the Armstrong & Miller character: "Kill them". |

It's all good publicity at the end of the day for all concerned. |
