Beating X Factor’s Joe McElderry’s cover of the Miley Cyrus track, The Climb; Rage Against the Machine are flying high with their number one selling Christmas single, Killing In The Name. For some weeks now turmoil has torn through the chart watcher trail as even pop reality master Simon Cowell has commented on the race to the top, expressing his disdain for Rage’s grass roots campaign to boost them to the win. Rage’s frontman Zack De La Rocha stated “We’re very very ecstatic and excited about the song reaching the Number One spot and I just want to say we want to thank everyone for participating in this incredible, organic grass roots campaign.” He goes on to say, “It’s more about the spontaneous action taken by young people in the UK to topple this very sterile pop monopoly. When young people decide to take action they can make what’s seemingly impossible, possible.”
