Congrats on all the money raised although I still side eye Cowell.

Right?

The lack of reading comprehension

[Pacaveli]

Wow! 

[Samson]

 

that's great though.

[All In My Head]

I've never seen this kind of lead on iTunes  

[MANUELF]

Who had the previous record? Hello?

[frenchyisback]

I'm disgusted.

Those charity singles should not be counted on the chart. Nobody buys then cause they like the song. They buy it for the cause and the emotion of the event. Nobody will name this song as a fav 1 year from now. It ll be 100% forgotten.
