Killing in the Name (Of Christmas)

On a related side note - this re-mix is awesome:

I never thought I'd say this...but...

EPIC WIN!!!

[GA!]

There's a big rumour going around that Rage won by 50000 sales.

[Regia]

But I've also heard rumours that Lady Gaga has actually took the number one spot, which would be rather hilarious if true.

The estimated numbers are Rage with 50000, Joe with 45000, and Lady Gaga with something like 60000. The difference between 2 and 3 was massive.

GaGa winning would be brilliant. I would love to see that happen.

Some guy on the F365 forums has C+P'd the entire top 40, with RATM at number 1. The order matches entirely so far, so unless he pulling the merk of the century it looks like Rage have won.

This is the list I've found: http://www.sheamus.co.uk/ratm-xmas-number-one

It's been accurate so far, up to and including number 4.

Yep, that's the same one, same sales figures and everything.

This Children in Need thing is horrific.

It's for charity, so I'm not fussed.

And lol @ all the pop fans texting in saying Rage Against The Machine is "just noise".

[LittleDaniel]

What's really concerning about that list is that "Tik Tok" is anywhere near the top

[Jimmy]

Rage did it :L

[IJS]

Rage win. Wow, didn't expect that.

[EddieG]

It's official.. RATM get a number one, like.. 17 years after they released it lmao

[Regia]

Well thank God that's over, now everyone can go back to listening to their own music and stop caring about the charts.

[Dan]

Awesome, and I won the money I spentt plus a tenner more.

[Dingle]

Same time next year with a 'Fuck The System' by SOAD?

[The Kraig]

Haha! I fucking love it.

[Cactus Drags]

I was listening online, and it's quite concerning that so many people were texting in saying that the X Factor kid deserved it because he worked hard. I'm not sure quite how winning a glorified talent show gives you any right to anything other than the top prize for said talent show, and is doing a couple of covers really hard work? Maybe if the dude had written his own song, he'd be a little more deserving.

More importantly, I am looking forward to the possibility of a free UK Rage gig, and that's the best news that has come out of this whole "war".

[Jimmy]

This time next year, I'm not looking forward to the sheer amount of annoying facebook groups trying to replicate this.

[DFF]

Hilariously, someone I used to work with has removed me from their friends on Facebook for buying the Rage track.

No, seriously.
