Christmas no 1

StanByrneGalway · 2009-12-27 19:59:52

Don't you just love the idea that social networking can get Rage Against The Machine to no. 1 for Christmas in the UK just to screw with X-Factor and Simon Cowell. Or is Sony just manipulating the whole thing as they own both records and probably sold way more as a result?…

I don't think Sony had anything to do with it, but I do think they will next year when they try to repeat it along with all of the other major labels
