Why RATM being number one is a good thing
Forget about the poor sap that won a talent show only to have his prize wrenched away from him. Forget too about the fact that at the end of the day, Sony was the only winner here.
Rage being Xmas number one means that a group of (arguably misguided) people can, with the aid of the internet, put a stop to what, in my opinion, can only be described as a blight on our TV and Radio.
I never wanted to buy an Xfactor single. I did buy the Rage song though. I bought the album 10 years ago too. I bought it both times because it’s good. It’s still good, and it being number one is a good thing.
QED.
