Mr Moogy and I started this group in hope we can rid the UK of the X factor monopoly over the number 1 as a joke. Chose Rick due to his following, looks like he's up for it too.

I do think that would be epic if it got to number one.

But fear it won't. :-(

(although Rick is well up for it so I guess he must get something) but it was the only song we could think of (at the time) that stood the slightest chance against them. We beat them this year, then forever more the charts can be our own again.

Alex 'Doing a Mariah' to Hallejulah is a disgusting travesty and must be stopped... at ANY cost

Song BMG own the rights to the Buckley version, so by doing this you're giving Simon Cowell even more money. I'm sure he'll be gutted!

Most of the remedials who will be buying the X-Factor single won't realise who the money is going to anyway. I think it's more about breaking the cycle of X-Factor number ones. Most of the winners are forgotten about soon after the show finishes, and by keeping them away from the top of the charts we can kill even more of the interest people have in them, thereby causing them to forget quicker and (hopefully) fussing over it less next year.
It could work. Even if it doesn't it'd be a laugh.
And Cowell & Co are going to be making money off something or other whatever we end up buying, so we may as well get what makes us happy.
