Sorry Joe!
In a heated battle against the X-Factor winner Joe McElderry, “Killing In The Name” clinched the #1 spot on BBC Radio 1’s Official charts show this evening. In fact as I type this I’m listening to it live on BBC right now.
What started as a facebook group sick of X-Factor domination of the Christmas charts turned into an epic battle of music! Personally I am delighted Rage took the number 1 spot. This makes UK chart history by being the first ever download only Christmas #1.
Rage have confirmed live on radio that they will indeed honor the free thank you concert in the UK some time during 2010.
Update: The BBC are now reporting the full story.
