X-Factor - 450,838
Rage Against The Machine - 502,762
This was truly awesome and so good to know that there are a lot of people out there who actually care about music rather then being fed whatever is rapped down the throats by a mega rich twat. I still have never to this day watched an episode of the X-Factor. I have no idea who is currently in the charts and I have no clue as to what is going on in terms of being force fed.
What I do know is that after this happened, Simon Cowell ran off to The United States for a while.
Screw you Simon.
Here is a video of my favourite (one of my favourites) Rage Against The Machine song(s). Try and ignore the vevo shit. Again you will have to click on "Watch on YouTube". Amazing song and amazing video:-
