X-Factor doesn’t get Christmas number 1, Rage Against The Machine does…

It’s not a good day for Simon Cowell. Since the inception of X-Factor, this is the only time an act from the show didn’t get the Christmas number one. Instead it landed at two after a huge campaign by the reality’s show’s haters and people who are maddened by this pop chart monopoly. Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name” beat winner Joe McElderry’s “The Climb” by a slim margin. This was due to a massive internet campaign to stop the festive season’s charted being Cowelled up. To tell you the truth, both songs are bad. “Bad Romance” should have taken the top spot. It’s a better tune than both and more timely cap off to 2009.

Premiere: Video: “The Climb” by Joe McElderry

Ah, the Miley Cyrus gets a mom remix. And the video of his “uphill battle” to becoming the next holder of the Christmas album only to fizzle out into oblivion after a couple of album once simon Cowell finds another cash cow. The song’s really a bad choice. We can’t believe this, but Miley would sound better if we had heard her version of the song. Seriously, if we won X-Factor we would refuse to cover this song!

Rage Against The Machine to beat Joe McElderry for Christmas top spot

The early numbers are in and, maybe, for the first time since the inception of X-Factor UK the winner will not get a number one for Christmas. According to early digital sales of the single Joe McElderry’s “The Climb” is trailing 10% in sales behind Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name”. This will surely be a dent into the X- Factor world and will probably teach Simon Cowell not to choose a Miley Cyrus song for a cover. We hope it happens, but it’s highly unlikely as teh physical single is not out yet and that’s what grandmas and little kids buy. So there might be a skew and unfortunately RATM might not win. You see, this makes the Christmas number 1 exciting again, instead of just a dead cert.

Joe McElderry is the winner of the sixth series of X-Factor and Cheryl Cole’s second champion. Joe McElderry’s first song in the final, the theme being songs the contestants sang in their audition, was Luther Vandross’s “Dance With My Father,” the song he sung in his audition for the show. His second song of the night, was a duet with George Michael of “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me,” which was a duet with Elton John. His third song was “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word”, which he had sung at the judges houses stage and the eighth live show. During his performances, Dannii Minogue dubbed McElderry a “brilliant performer”, and Simon Cowell said that he is “really special”. McElderry secured his place in Sunday night’s final after winning the public vote alongside Olly Murs. Stacey Solomon narrowly missed out in a place despite giving her most confident performances of the whole series. They both performed the winner’s song “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus in Sunday night’s final. This probably means that this will be his first single. McElderry was backed by Louis Walsh to win the competition.
