Hi! All
So I guess it is official now that both are playing the number two record, but the reign of The X Factor song has ended.

The official Christmas Number One on both Radio 1's Official Chart Show and The Big Top 40 Show is - Rage Against the Machine.

I'm not personally a fan - but Tom Morello isn't talentless. One of the best guitarists of all time.

It's never really been about the song or the artist. It's more about pushing away the "guaranteed" XFactor Christmas number 1. Just happens that the campaign was started by a RATM fan and Joe won the Xfactor.

Whats the life span of an X Factor's contestants pop career?

They would need to add them all together for how long Rage have been putting out songs, Real music triumphs against plastic pop tat all the time.

I'm pleased because the whole campaign has injected a bit of fun into the Christmas chart, and for the first time in ages we genuinely didn't know who was going to be number 1 until the last minute.

Exactly! Proper musicians vs. manufactured crap.

Joe is a No. 2 in more ways than one.

It's been at least 15 years since I've seen people listening to the charts like this. I wonder what their listening figures were like compared to normal...

It was designed as a personal message to Simon Cowell and "F*** you, I won't do what you tell me" is a wonderful message to send him.

Haven't sat through a charts countdown in ages. Reminded me of being a teenager

And then, what a wonderful surprise, just listening to Rage on the radio after so many years. I used to dance to this song like mad. Ahh brings back so many memories. I am actually getting a bit sentimental.

Good for the British public, I just LOVE spontaneous, impromptu campaigns and statements like this. Bring on some more, and not just in the charts. Come on!

While I'm as skeptical as the next man about the fact that RATM are also on Sony, I do love the song, and it's great to have a Christmas No 1 that doesn't slowly, year by year, make my soul a little bit smaller and more grumpy.

Didn't buy it, mind you- wasn't THAT bothered, and I already bought the album on vinyl and then on CD, and they ain't getting my money THREE times.

I'm a RATM fan, but i'm not sure if i'm actually happy about this or not as i don't know which which i hate more; Facebook or X-Factor. I also get a slight feeling that they've both contributed to bastardising one of my favourite bands.
