Rage Against The Machine 36,000 Sales Ahead Of X Factor’s Joe McElderry!

Rage Against The Machine 36,000 Sales Ahead Of X Factor's Joe McElderry!
Rage Against The Machine are still ahead of X Factor’s Joe McElderry in the Christmas chart race, despite the physical copy of the 18-year-olds single going on sale yesterday.
‘Killing In The Name’ has shifted 253,476 downloads compared to ‘The Climb’s meagre 216,795 – which includes his physical sales.

Although yesterday’s lead of 65,000 has been cut to 36,000 it’s still a positive step considering industry experts’ predictions that the physical format would claw things back for McElderry.

Fans of the Facebook led campaign have until midnight on Saturday night / Sunday morning to download the track in their droves.

As well as Tom Morello donating some of the proceeds to Youth Music, Jon and Tracy Morter, who founded the Facebook campaign, have set up a Justgiving page for Shelter which you can pledge to HERE

    Im doing this for the 15 year old kid whose mum wrote a complaint comment on a Daily Mail article relating to the five live swearing incident this morning. Check it out if you can find it. This kid needs all the help he can get.
