Stop X Factor from claiming UK Xmas No.1 Single

[bobmoo79]

Have you all bought your copies of Rage Against The Machine's song 'Killing In The Name Of'?

The campaign to make RATM No.1 in the UK Christmas single chart was started on Facebook to combat the unhealthy grip that X Factor (and Simon Cowell) has on the UK music charts and up til this point is doing surprisingly well.

In the first midweek chart published yesterday, Rage were leading Joe by 6000 copies. The indications are that they increased their lead to 65000 copies in todays chart!

Joe's single is released as a CD today so he will no doubt receive a significant boost from that, but on the download charts Rage are still leading the way. If you're in the UK and fed up with the X Factor's soul destroying, generic pap then please support the campaign by buying a copy of 'Killing In the Name Of' this week.
