You've (probably) more of a chance with this...
... the 'Buy the Jeff Buckley version, for the love of God' campaign

GREAT!
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!

I think it's more the principle people are interested in
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.
