Rage Against the Machine – Killing In The Name # 1 in UK


Rage Against the Machine beat out a TV idol’s bid for Christmas # 1 hit thanks to a campaign by teen youths to tell the record industry ‘fuck off yer gits’.

The insipid cover of The Climb by X Factor winner Joe McElderry lost by 50,000 votes.

The power of facebook propelled the LA-based band to the top position wholly on the strength of downloads versus radio play.

It’s a new era for music and the record companies haven’t a clue.

Do they?

Killing In The Name

Even more amazing since the song was released in the 1990s
