“Killing In The Name” for Christmas Number 1?

This year’s Christmas number 1 slot is turning out to be very hotly contested! For the past four years, the top spot has been dominated by X-Factor winners, who have wiped out all competition.


However, this year, it’s different! A facebook campaign set up by Tracy and Jon Morter has encouraged people to go out and purchase Rage Against The Machine’s classic 1992 hit “Killing In The Name.” This has now become a massive musical revolution, with over 800,000 facebook group members promising to buy the track, as a statement against the manufactured pop business.


Tom Morello and Zack de la Rocha

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, guitarist Tom Morello and singer Zack de la Rocha expressed their support for the movement and said they were honoured that their song was chosen as the “rebel anthem to try to topple the X-Factor monopoly.” They went on to say that all proceeds from sales of the song will go towards Shelter, a charity that helps the homeless in the UK.

Merry Christmas,
