79p a shot - price from itunes music store

10,000 people - a number I made up

£7900 - those 2 figures together

40p ish - Sony's share of the music after paying out 6.5p to the songwriter

£4000 - those two figures multiplied together

Come on, how many of you have said "yes, I'm going to do this" but in the end can't be bothered doing it?

Well Im thinking that a big load of the 500,000 odd members who joined up are under 18, therefore dont have a card and cant purchase songs on Itunes.

 

I do however think it will break the top 20 and you'll lose your bet Kite.

Ah well, I will lose a penny :P

Why cant people just stop this. I keep getting invites for the stupid Facebook group and it's getting really annoying.

 

A few people said that they bought it like SEVEN times. Seriously how sad is that?

You know you can block invites from a group?

Thanks, I'll block it then! I wouldn't even mind the actual invites but I keep getting email notifications.

Change your settings on facebook, you don't have to get any emails if you don't want.

Right I need to check this then. I don't use Facebook very often so I never really bothered to change those settings.

 

I was rather annoyed when I logged in the other day though. My friend showed me how to make sure that only friends can see your profile picture and information. Facebook asked me a few days ago whether I wanted to keep my old settings so I said 'yes'. Then I checked what my profile looks like to other people and it turned out that they changed my settings anyway.

Done.

:)

what is it? :surprised: :wacky:

This is the week that the Brits decide their Christmas number one single. X-factor types always win. If lots of British people get together and pay to download a different song, X-factor might not.

 

It's sort of like rickrolling the charts but without Rick.

 

 

And there's already a thread for it. :dozey:

sorry

killing in the name - 29 p

WHY did it have to be Rage Against The Machine. They can't even write proper music.

 

The facebook acne ridden idiots on facebook should have gone for something different.

should have been astley :)

 

it think it's the fuck you i won't do what you tell me line

^Basically.

 

Well looking around, it seems like Rage is currently in the lead and will at least finish second. The band have promised that the profits will go to a British charity.

 

Now you can gripe all you want about Sony vs. Sony (the X-factor people certainly are- Sony are betraying us boohoo!) and about all the irony of buying a song you're told to buy because it say I won'd to what you tell me. And such and so on ad nauseum.

 

BUT the thing is money does talk. Sony is currently getting a great big wake up call that people are so frustrated about the state of pop music that they will pay a record label to be able to tell that label to change. Bring lining the pockets of a charity vs. lining the pockets of Simon Cowell into it, and I kind of sympathize with this.

 

Actually, what it really reminds me of is the Juno awards a few years ago where Broken Social Scene had been bashing Canadian Idol in the press, since most of the nominees were former contestants. When BSS won an award one of them yelled "Fight for Good Music". Canadian Idol's Simon Cowell clone's response was his opinion doesn't count because he doesn't sing very well. :wtf: They don't get it. They really truly don't get it, and this is a chance for someone somewhere to get the message through.

 

So good luck to Rage, say I.

Awesome track. :dance:

Nicely written Erin, but I still don't care.

 

OK if Im too be honest, there is a part of me that wants Rage to get it, simply because I like strange situations that seem unlikely, coming true.
