Rage Against the Machine to be Christmas Number 1?
Leave the first response December 17, 2009 / Posted in NewsWill the Rage Against the Machine track, Killing In The Name Of, be Christmas number 1 this year? Let’s hope so! The Facebook group that started a few weeks ago in an attempt to end The X Factor Christmas no.1 monopoly, has captured the imagination of the nation. At time of writing over 800,222 users have joined the group and they have raised over £42,743.51 for the charity Shelter by asking members to make a donation on the Just Giving website when they buy a copy of the single.
However, Ladbrokes have Joe McElderry favourite at 1/5 with Rage Against The Machine at 3/1 in second place, well ahead of Lady Gaga at 25/1. A quick scan in Tesco (other supermarkets are available) earlier today in the CD section only had the new single releases and no RATM. If this is indicative of most supermarkets, then unfortunately the X Factor tune may sneaky it as shoppers pick up a copy with their their Christmas shopping!
So, if you haven’t already bought your copy of the Rage Against the Machine song, visit the campaign information page on Facebook, join the group and buy your copy of Killing in the Name this week! Available at most good record stores – but not in a Tesco in Swansea.
Next week will be too late!
