Killing the X Factor

Kerrang! Awards 2008 - ArrivalsAre you sick of the X Factor being Christmas number one EVERY year?

This year’s X Factor winner (Joe, Olly or Stacey) will be releasing a cover of The Climb by Miley Cyrus. We weren’t so hot on the song when Miley released it, so we’re hardly buzzing over the fact it’s being re-released  months later.

The hit was a number 11 in the UK chart for Miley, but everyone is expecting the X Factor winner to take it to the number 1 spot.

So what’s the alternative?

Some bright spark has started a Facebook group, to try and make Rage Against The Machine’s track Killing In The Name the Christmas number 1.

The group, which at the time of writing has nearly 300,000 members at the time of writing, states that fans should buy the song from December 13 – the same day that this year’s X Factor winner’s song becomes available.

It’s our favourite RATM track so we’d love to see them get the Xmas number 1.

Check out the video.
