I think it's this week, as it's the last full week of sales.

Won't last, the whole reason of midweek sales figures is to allow the record companies know how much they have to manipulate it to get the final chart they want.

The campaign has been condemned by the show�s chief judge Simon Cowell and McElderry�s X-Factor mentor Cheryl Cole as unfair and speaking on the BBC this morning McElderry said he would be �disappointed� if he failed to top the charts..

�I�m not really seeing it as a personal attack, because I think if any other person would have won it would have been the same case. And it�s more against The X Factor than the actual winner.

�I would be disappointed if it�s not number one � but it�s out of my hands and there�s nothing I can do about it and I just hope people get behind us and support us and buy the single.�

Cole said she would be �gutted� if McElderry lost out to a �mean� internet campaign. �He put his heart and soul into every single week of The X Factor and I cannot bear to see him lose out to a mean campaign that has nothing to do with his efforts. If that song, or should I say campaign, by an American group is our Christmas number one I�ll be gutted for him and our charts.�

Cowell said �Joe doesn�t deserve to be stuck in the middle of this. A campaign aimed at harming his chart position is unnecessary.�

Fellow judge Louis Walsh was equally dismissive of the campaign. "This is taking the fun out of the race for Christmas number one," he said.

Paul McCartney disagreed. "I like the idea of this Rage Against The Machine thing that's happening," he told Sky News. "I think that's kind of interesting."

He said he would be pleased to see the band make it to Number 1 "because it's out of leftfield you know. Everyone expects Joe to do it, and he certainly will sell a lot of records. And if he gets to Number One, good luck to him. But it would be kind of funny if a band like Rage Against The Machine got it, because it would prove a point."

I was apathetic to the campaign until reading the comments by Cheryl Cole, Walsh and Cowell, they really think they have a god given right to dictate the charts and that no other act is entitled to have an x-mas no.1 but their act

Good one you egotistical morons I'm going to download RATM now! :)
