Something quite unbelievable happened today. Rage Against The Machine have toppled the constant X-Factor number one with Killing In The Name. Scott Mills from BBC’s Radio 1 counted down the chart and revealed the victory. RATM now promise a free open air gig to thank everyone in the UK for supporting them and getting them to number. Below you can listen to that magical moment once more from Radio 1. All audio is copyright to the BBC.

This is something that will not be forgotten, Rage Against The Machine being Xmas number one is a triumph for all music fans. It’s ironic how well Killing In The Name fits the purpose of this campaign. See you at the gig!
