(Banana 101.5) A British movement is urging people to buy Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and push it to #1 on the charts this Christmas before one of Simon Cowell's 'X-Factor' artists takes the coveted spot.

Citizens of the UK are acting in order to prevent Simon Cowell's reality singing competition from dominating the charts this Christmas by starting a campaign encouraging people to buy Nirvana's well known single instead.
