Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No. 1
December 5th, 2009 by redcountess
There is a social networking campaign to stop Simon Cowell achieving another Christmas no. 1 spot this year with one of his overblown ersatz productions.
The creators of the campaign are asking people to buy Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In The Name Of online from iTunes, Amazon etc. between December 13th and December 20th in order for it to qualify for the Christmas no. 1 spot.

I believe this was tried with “Never Gonna Give You Up” last year and didn’t work then either.
Since (a) downloads were added to the UK charts (b) physical singles have all but dried up, leaving the chart entirely determined by downloads, the number of sales required is rather larger than it used to be.

Still worth a try though.
