My little bit of rebellion against the evil that is X-Factor - I'd like to encourage as many people as possible to buy the Jeff Buckley version of 'Hallelujah'.In case you don't know, the X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke's debut single is a cover of the Leonard Cohen classic, made famous by the late Jeff Buckley, and it's being assumed that it'll be the Christmas number one in the UK. I, for one, hate the way that this over-blown karaoke contest has taken the excitement out of the race for the coveted Christmas number one spot.
All the info you'll need is on the Facebook group here, but basically what you need to do is follow either of the links below and buy the mp3. These stores have been selected purely as we know their sales are reported to the Official Charts Company:
7Digital - unencumbered high quality 320k mp3 89p.
Tunetribe - cheaper but semi-crippled WMA (windows file) only 49p
iTunes - 79p but DRM AAC file from Apple
PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE FROM AMAZON AS THEY DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE UK CHARTS...
Apparently as of today (16th December) the sales so far have placed this version at number 3 in the mid-week charts. Let's get more sales on board and make this happen!
