Nice math! but alas wasted on me, none of it proves people hate the X factor, yeah I was talking about the show not joe. I'm a prime example.

Then it wasn't wasted on you in that case. What I did was show that as a group RATM fans are over four times more passionate about their music that X factor viewers, if choose to see it reflected in sales figures.
The notion that they are more passionate about their music justifies this campaign to get Killing In The name to number one, to me anyway.
This whole campaign came about through RATM fans feeling as though they have been neglected by the music industry in favour of the "X factor" and "Britain's got talent" style music. What they have done this week is show that they still pack a lot of punch as an audience and they should still be respected (and not neglected) as a result.

I really don't understand the campaign, it reeks of snobby music fans wanting to shove it in others faces, pop music is just that (pop)ular music ... that's what the chart consists of because that's what people buy, why do other care whats at the top of the chart?? It's a chart I bet many RATM fans don't even give a fuck about.

I don't think it's snobby music fans wanting to rub anyones nose in anything. They are music fans that feel as though the music they listen to is slowly being more and more neglected by record companies who are focused pandering to a culture which goes crazy over some singer, not because they are talented, but because they have a sellable image or have been on TV for a few weeks.
...
On a personal note; I think Jamie should have won X factor this year. I saw him a few times and I always felt as though he really loved all music, not just his own style (which is what I felt about Joe). To me Jamie had many of the qualities of what makes a good musician, I hope his career gets going.

Completely agree with your first paragraph, that's what sold the campaign to me.
On your second paragraph, I have to disagree sir! Danyl was easily the best
