Snip:
Rock band Rage Against The Machine has won the most competitive battle in years for the Christmas number one.
The band’s single, Killing In The Name, sold 500,000 downloads beating X Factor winner Joe McElderry’s The Climb by 50,000 copies to clinch the top spot.
Their success followed a Facebook campaign designed to prevent another X Factor number one.
One retailer said it was a “truly remarkable outcome – possibly the greatest chart upset ever”.
Speaking on the Radio 1 chart show, Zack de la Rocha from Rage said: “We are very, very ecstatic about being number one.”
