Jedward 1, Blink 182 0

After Day One of the All The Small Things chart battle between Blink 182 and Jedward, the Irish twins are currently in the lead.

However, while Jedward may be at Number Three in the iTunes rock chart and at Number 76 in the Amazon MP3 chart with their version of the 2000 Blink 182 hit (the original is currently at Number 86), an industry insider has warned that both acts will be lucky to even break into the Top 40.

"While they may only be first day figures, if this buying pattern continues neither Blink's nor Jedward's version of All The Small Things will chart," a source told Kerrang!.

"However we'll have a better idea about where they're both likely to chart after we get today's sales figures in," they added.

It's not too late people, to show your support for Blink, log on to www.blink182ftw.com to see where you can buy the original version of All The Small Things from.

Wow - i thought it was a joke - but wow how much have they destroyed that song - i guess the only good thing to come from this, is the hope that one of them silly girls that actually like JEDWARD will be turned onto BLINK 182 and hopefully will find GOOD music through that............fingers crossed.

Demp360, surley your not that naive. The music industry does not work like that. Blinks music is owned by their record label! Why do you think all these new bands have set up their own labels etc. Plus, the music industry is in a mess! I doubt the record label even made that much!

Please, stop telling us what to buy. The Christmas chart battle was fun, but now it's getting ridiculous.

@ kris - You Jerk! Blink 182 are the writers of that song and thus get 50% of all Mechanical Royalties regardless of their record label which shares the remaining 50% with the publisher. Performance Royalties will also be paid.Blink are laughing all the way to the bank, as are the record label....I dont think its Demp360 being naive, hes hit the nail on the head!

personally, i prefer blink's version, always have liked it, and to be honest, jedward's version is a pile of shit. i don't think jedwards version will get that far though, because it's all little kids buying it, and they won't have been born before/been old enough to know the song, and might not know what song it is. but, yeah, it might get younger kids into GOOD music, but i highly doubt it.

Royalties should be paid to the people who originally wrote the song. Enough said. Oh and most people called Chris, or Kris, are twats anyway, and quite selfish. lol

Does anyone really care? Rage against the machine was a one off against the X factor, it's not going to happen again, and I highly doubt Blink would give all the proceeds to charity like Rage did. Sure, Jedward are crap, but do you honestly think every time a song you don't like comes out, the whole rock community will buy another one?

Ew. Blink are much better than some xfactor loosers.

thats really lame. why would anyone want to hear them little prats. ewwwwwwwwww. blink 182 could probably beat the crap out of them in real life, and them two sods wouldnt know what hit them.

At the end of the day, how ever many copies Jedward sell they got give a share out of it to blink 182 too, so the jokes on them. They could be making more money writing orginals (not that anybody would want to hear them) except for making terrible cover versions.

why do people support blink 182?, i thought they were pretty much just pop anyway?

I FUCKING HOPE JEDWARD DO BEAT BLINK 182 BECAUSE THIS IS JUST PATHETIC! BUYING BLINK'S VERSION AGAIN JUST SO JEDWARD CAN'T DO WELL WITH THERE SINGLE, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO BE HONEST!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR OTHER ARTISTS TRYING TO GET INTO THE CHARTS EVEN IF YOU DONT LIKE THEM, YOU DONT HAVE TO FUCKING LISTEN TO IT. Seriously it really is pathetic that you want to try and get a single that was out ages ago which everyone loves anyway to try and beat new artists getting themselves heard.

It's actually spelled L-o-s-e-r-s, not L-o-o-s-e-r-s.

It's thanks to little mistakes like this that you'll be getting held back again this year, Shannon.

Did you say 'number three in the itunes rock chart'? Why on earth are they in the rock chart? They're no more rock than a dragonfly.

Personally, I love Jedward's version, it has more balls than the original... Not that the original had balls though!

I don't totally hate Jedward! Obviously I will be buying the Blink version because it's miles better but it's pointless spitting bile at Jedward, they don't give two shits if a load of punk fans hate them, I think they're entertaining anyway. NOT good... entertaining.

i'm pretty sure that piece of crap does not mean a score for jedward

Contrary to Feargal Sharkey repeatedly claiming to have written the song,he didn"t.John O Neill did,so Feargal has no rights to it

OMG BLINK 182 ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN JEDWARD!!

WHATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD!!

Posted by Esherrr | July 24, 2010 5:36 AM | Reply to this

Who actually cares? This whole "battle" is pathetic.

If like jedwards version, buy it. If you don't then go listen to your own music it's hardly worth all this hype...at the end of the day is is a SONG!

If you're going to bother puting effort into supporting something then go support something worthwhile instead of wasting time trying to stop two kids from having fun - it's stuipd!

Posted by lol | July 24, 2010 9:56 PM | Reply to this

I hate Jedward and they probably ruined it, and Blink 182 are way better, but Blink obviously don't care, and some people do actually like Jedward so it don't really matter tbh...
