Y'know, at the beginning of the talk about making FONY the #1, as well as reading Bob Geldof's autobiography and the push to make "Do They Know It's Christmas" #1 back in the day, I had felt a little sad that we don't have anything like that in the U.S. Now, after having gone through this and other threads about all of the different campaigns, anti-campaigns and so forth, now I'm relieved we don't.

Surprised to see Red Cortina by the Saw Doctors at number 21, some sort of internet campaign?
