Christmas No 1

Who is going to take it this year? Christmas No 1 is faced with a very interesting competition: Rage Against the Machine vs. Joe Elderrry (the lastest XFactor winner aka the newest addition to the Simon Cowell empire) Most years, its a clear cut win in everyones eyes, but this year is particularly unique.

This unusual battle actually started on facebook, where a group was launched as a sort of rebellion to make RATM No1 as a contra to the XFactor-factory who have been dominating the charts the past 4 Christmas seasons, and the wave grew to the situation ( and almost 500K fans) which is going to be decided tonight.

So, back to my original questions: who is going to take it? I am sure most are secretly routing for Rage Against just because they are so untraditional to be crowned number 1 at this time of year and the they would represent not only the voice of an uprising, but the power of social media in our society today....but Joe does seems like the typical win and people like tradition, and Paul McCartney has publicly backed him. (This sounds like true political election with celebrity supporters...)

Thoughts?
