It's so brilliant that they're doing this! I didn't know about it till I read some of the comments on this vid to see what it was all about.
"F**k you won't do what you tell me" will be ace belting out the old folk's homes on Christmas day!

Honestly thought that said Pornographic when I clicked the link. 
I've just "voted" for RATM by buying the single on Amazon -- only 29p!
You should all do this too

I got it from Play.com. For a little more, but I had other stuff to buy, so... Damn, 29p... *grumbles*
Still, all in a good cause.

I'm sure someone said Amazon doesn't count towards the charts.

A quick Google may shed some light. Apparently, the official chart compilers only count songs sold for 40p or more, but that's the wholesale price. Amazon appears to be selling at a loss.
In any event, somebody apparently "official" at Amazon has confirmed that downloads of both the X-Factor single and RATM will count toward the charts. Both are sold for 29p.
Ah - well my source was the comments on the YouTube vid anyway, so I should really have known better! But...Amazon selling at a loss?? Whyyyy?

Same reason as Tesco etc sell baked beans as a "loss leader" - brings in the custom for the more expensive things. After all, other than me, who else is going to go on there and only spend 29p on their credit card?
O/
OK, hands up those that aren't Jews. 
I don't even care enough to spend 29p. Let X-Factor have their Christmas No. 1.

Or Scottsmen, or Yorkshiremen, etc...
Yo.

*shakes fist*
You would understand if the comedy industry was in the same state! A lot of good talent being overlooked in favour of some pretty kareoke singers who've done absolutely nothing to further themselves except go on a talent show once.
Besides, that song as a Crimbo number 1 would be hilarious!
