Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name for Christmas No. 1

You can't make assumptions like that unless you asked each person who bought a copy of the single if they like the band or have heard their other stuff.

I agree with Sam here, Rage "supporters" simply cared more to buy the single (possibly even more than once) than Joe's did, resulting in his defeat.

I also must chime in that the comments of "he worked really hard, he deserves it" are crap. I don't think anybody "deserves to be number 1", it's just simply who the public buy more of, and it's not an accurate reflection of the UK's opinion. As this thread proves!

Yeh. right.

Anyone who purchased more than a couple copies, wouldn't have been included in the charts. And are you that naiive to not think a lot of the Joe fans wouldn't have bought multiple copies of his song anyway? :S

i agree with the principles of the facebook group, but they could have chosen a better song.

You could buy 3 copies from every site without them knowing each day. They don't ask everyone who bought 1 if they bulk bought, they just allow 3 copies without it looking suspicious :)

Last time I checked RATM was down to 5th on most downloaded on iTunes?

1. Joe McElderry
2. Lady GaGa

Yes but the only time people tend to do that is when they are have perfecting little rants at how X Factor wins.

Whats the most stupid fact is, IT IS THE PUBLIC THAT MAKE X FACTOR WIN IT EVERY YEAR.

And as usual its the british public being pathetic.

I am not bothered that X Factor didn't get it, as I don't really like Joe anyway?

I just find it crazy that people think people boightthe RATM song because they actually like it..

I look forward to seeing RATM win a song for #1 every week.
