And X-Factor has reached No 1 because of an overwhelming Juggernaut that is the 'marketing campaign' surrounding it. The idea that this campaign makes a mockery of the chart and is somehow unfair is nuts.
X-Factor has had 12 weeks of having the prime time slot every Saturday, and every Sunday, on ITV. All of it planned to end on the Sunday before the week of the Christmas no 1 and RATM are the ones benefiting from a marketing campaign?
