Christmas Number One...

[miss_squiddy]

So RATM are Christmas number one! Yes, yes. I know all the money goes to Sony/Simon Cowell anyway and the rich are getting richer blahblahblah BUT:

1. A whole bunch of new people are listening to some quality metal
2. Shelter have got £70k-ish from the people who bought the single, plus a share of RATM's profits
3. Point proven that the unexpected can happen when enough people get behind an idea.

And I think those things are nice. :)

Agreed. Am positively jubilant.

I think those things are nice too :)

That's the very first time I've downloaded a tune from the web (*ahem* that's paid for and like, legal and shit - sssh) and there's a little part of me that's dead proud to have had something to do with it.

Also, it's the first time I've known a "facebook group" actually get a result :)

Course it's nice. Also funny as hell.

Best 50p I've spent in ages.

Plus, it made me laugh. A lot.
