Christmas number one of 2009 is announced next Sunday.

Most expect Joe from X Factor to now get it, but will he?

Currently Rage Against the Machine is #1 on the itunes chart but as Chris Moyles knows, being in the top 10 on itunes doesn't mean you will be top ten when the results are out Sunday.

im sick of fucking x factor and people who think the winner will be around making 'tracks' in 40 years time. i saw paul mccartney on there tonight in the pub. he'll be 30 years dead and they'll be playing his music, the winner this year and the rest will be long forgotten.

rage against the machine, at least they earned their fame. instead of relying on silly hormonal teenage girls to get them places.

on the grid.

As much as I want Timmy Trendy to be number one, I know it ain't gonna be.. So Rage Against the Machine. Just something ANYTHING to beat X-Factor..

That RATM song is strangely missing from my collection, so I'll try to remember to buy it. I haven't bought a christmas week single for about 9 or 10 years, since it was a fairish race-albeit usually won by a manufactured pop group like the Spice Girls.

I can understand how annoyed people must get with X Factor taking over the charts, but I don't think that buying another song just to spite them is right. It's not fair to stop Joe's chance to shine through buying RATM.

Fair enough, 'protest' and get your message across through Facebook groups and things, but it's unfair to take over the charts and take it away from him. Get your point across to Simon Cowell not Joe!

I won't be buying anything off iTunes or physically. I shall be using one of the other legal music download sites for my purchase. Probably Amazon. It is near impossible to find physical CD singles these days. I like how it's possible for a song that hasn't been recently released to get into the chart, it makes it more realistic of people's listening. If you want to know what people are actually listening to week on week, the last.fm chart is the place to go. I don't believe that anyone has the right to a guaranteed spot at the top of the chart. Isn't the X-Factor supposed to be all about people (paying to) vote for who they think deserves to win?

Both songs are 29p on Amazon and 2 different versions of the RATM song are number 1 and number 3. I reckon X Factor will still win it somehow though, as I have a feeling sales of the X Factor song will be more steady through the week while RATM sales will drop off.

I think it's making it more interesting and talked about than the Christmas number 1 'race' has been in years.

I remember Chris Moyles twittering about getting close to Rihanna on the itunes album chart (in 3rd or 4th) and then come Sunday his album was 20-something-th.

Joe will get so many thousands of physical sales, RATM has no chance ever (sadly)

But its nice to see what happens :)

    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
