Rage Against the X factor, Killing in the Name reaches NUMBER ONE

I'm Very pleasantly surprised it worked!
hey actually pulled it off!

After much urging via the internet, Rage Against The Machine's 1992 single, Killing in the Name Of now holds the top spot as the UK's Christmas Number One!

The political hard rockers wanted to take Simon Cowell and X Factor winner Joe McElderberry down a peg and begged their fans to download the single to prevent Joe from being #1!

And they did!

RATM's Killing in the Name Of was downloaded more than 500,000 times in the past week while McElderberry's Miley Cyrus cover only sold 450,000 copies.

Wonder what Simon will have to say….
