Rage Beat X Factor to Christmas No. 1

History has just been made.

The UK's Xmas Number 1 is Rage Against The Machine selling 502,672 copies of "Killing In The Name Of". X Factor winner Joe McElderry is Number 2 having sold 450,838 with "The Climb" (a cover of a Miley Cyrus song).

This is the first time that a single has reached number one in the Christmas charts by downloads only.



The number one single was revealed at 6.50pm GMT by Scott Mills on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show. 


High-fives to everyone who bought the Rage single, bringing an end to The X Factor's domination of the Christmas charts in recent years. 

Power to the people.
