In a contest the likes of which has not been seen since Blur vs Oasis, American rock band Rage Against The Machine has held off X Factor winner (and dreamboat!) Joe McElderry for the much acclaimed UK Christmas No. 1 spot, with the re-release of their 1992 single ‘Killing In The Name’!
The whole thing was actually a Facebook campaign that was run to deliberately stop Simon Cowell and The X-Factor’s stranglehold on the Christmas charts and R.A.T.M’s track was selected as the appropriate anthem to do this!
An estimated 5 million listeners tuned in to the Top 40 chart radio show last weekend as the battle for the Christmas number one breathed new life into the Sunday afternoon chart rundown.
You can see the video of the reunited band’s performance of the track below and you can follow the link below to the Facebook page for more info.
I can see the Ro smiling about this one all the way from here! I know I sure am! We are such rebels Ro!
