For a little while now there's been a growing movement on t'internet to get something a bit different to the coveted Christmas number 1 spot. Something that isn't the usual X factor schmaltz, jingley christmas sleigh bells or worst of all f**kin Slade. We are trying to get
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - KILLING IN THE NAME OF
up there.
There's a Rage Factor website and a facebook group. It's being supported by guys like Bill Bailey and Phil Jupitas. There's also been covergae on Sky news and in music press like Kerrang and The NME.
Spread the word brothers and sisters! Join the revolution!

I'm soooo glad that this nonsense is all behind me now. Couldn't name a single band in the charts right now. and certainly couldn't give a fig who's sold the paultry few hundred records needed to get to the No1 Slot.
I agree, Scotty.
Who cares?
But Chrimbo is about tacky Christmas tunes. If you don't want to hear them, then tune into BBC6, XFM, Kerrang etc.
If RATM couldn't make it number 1 back in the day, no amount of petulant foot stomping by a load of old rockers is going to do it now.
No change there then Sparkly.
Xmas number one = Pop pap pickers piss pot position
I really really hope this works you know, i hate the charts and i hate everything about x factor and what it stands for, its not even real music and they can't really sing that well.
So buy it people buy it (on the 13th not before)- even if it is contrary to the song (!) JUST DO IT!!!
and BDB you are right - xmas is all about tacky songs which i love but unfortunatley cos of crud like the x factor, other songs don't get a look in so stamp your feet you "old rockers" (I'm not that old and i remember it first time round thank you very much!! ) and lets get it to number 1!!!!
Blimey - you shop in Waitrose?
lend us a fiver Cori
I'll be buying it
RATM at Brixton Academy - one of the best gigs I've ever been to
Can`t us lot get a proper Christmas song for number one.
To be honest, I hate having Simon Smugface Cowell ruining the Christmas number one.
Just out of interest, why has this particular song been chosen? Has it been reissued?
RATM for Number 1!!
Would have loved to have seen them at Brixton, bet that was rawkus
The best antidote to Simon Smugface Cowell ever.
Sparky, I think it was chosen as it is very sweary and very non x-factor
That is very impressed.
I was at the NIN gig this year when someone dropped their glasses. We were all looking on the floor and I found a pair, I handed them to the guy but he said they weren't his.
I held on to them and at the end of the gig as I was leaving I overheard someone saying that it was a bugger that they had lost their glasses. I said 'Dont suppose these are them are they?' and lo and behold they were. What were the chances of that??
