Of course, this being the attention-deficit 00s where we've had a different #1 song almost every week (at least especially before downloads were included in the charts) without any particular overreaching anthem dominating a particular time period (with some very notable exceptions, e.g. Rihanna's "Umbrella"), he would expect that sort of foregone conclusion having been brought up on this sort of chart behaviour.Why? You just called BS on the whole thing, but it takes away any sympathy for Joe?
You do realise there's no way that's true, right? No-one Joe's age could have got through their teenage years without being exposed to RATM, there's not way he'd never heard it before.
I'm not unhappy Rage won, in fact I think its hilarious, but I don't think Joe himself has done anything wrong.
I have nothing against Joe personally, but his expectation that he should be number 1 for simply being X-Factor winner makes me think he is a bit of a twat.
And of course, this being the attention-deficit 00s, we can expect the teens to defy the weather and ensure Joe becomes #1 next week, once everyone stops buying RATM. It's a "climb"... of sorts.![]()
I might just have to start buying singles...
