Sure, theres irony in such an anti-establishment song being #1 at all, let alone for christmas, but to me, the music industry needs a kick up the ass, and this is one way to do it.
And seriously, who cares if its just switching from being told to do one thing to being told to do another? At least with this one its pretty clear that everyone involved is doing it just to blow smoke up the x-factor, rather than actually just being STUPID and easily led.

But diehard music fans shouldn't really give two sh
it's what's number 1. I haven't for years and am still finding new music without having to worry about what mainstream fans listen to. TV is no better in that the populace are easily led and content being spoonfed what they should listen to or watch. Let them get on with it I say. Unfortunately downloading one song won't make the industry sit up and take notice.
