The last time the Christmas number one was not an X Factor finalist was way back in 2004 when Band Aid 20 had it with ‘Do they know Its Christmas Time’. Sales figures have been estimated 500k downloads for RATM ‘Killing In The Name’ compared to 450k downloads for Joe McElderry’s cover of ‘The Climb’.

I personally think the song is utter pants, I would have liked to see a better song to beat the X Factors run than the ‘Killing In The Name’. Well done to Joe for getting to number 2 spot, he does have a good voice, compared to some of the others.

Merry Christmas!
