The place to come if you want to discuss the Christmas Chart Show.

I really hope it will be Rage Against The Machine as it has hottened the charts up and has provided a bit more excitement compared to other years.

[Lee.]

Nah, Top of the Pops don't do the Christmas charts any more, do they?

I've heard plenty of tweets saying RATM have been leaked to be Number 1.

[Lee.]

[DarkAngelMJH]

Come on Rage!

[DarkAngelMJH]

I love it how it's the Christmas charts and Reggie is off.

[DarkAngelMJH]

RATM is the iTunes number one.

TV deal must be paying more

[DarkAngelMJH]

TV deal must be paying more

That it must be, he should be fired

[Jono]

Damn, I thought Fiddy would be Number 1.

[Jono]

Word is that RATM sold 44,000 more than Joe.

[Lee.]

apparently according to twitter theyve done it Rage Against The Machine OFFICIAL XMAS No.1!!!! 502,000 RATM and 450,000 Joe

As a passive observer....this is more about Simon Cowell than who has a better song.......am I right?

Well the Facebook campaign is. I would argue that in terms of songs there's little difference. Neither seem that great for Christmas Number 1.

[DarkAngelMJH]

Well it's about Cowell and the fact that the Xmas number 1 is always a damn cover and a ballard.

Another site saying RATM have won the race and betfair stopped taking bets for Rage winning.

[Mark710]

I agree with that Jono....I'd personally vote for Lady Gaga..:-)

[Jono]

Almost sounds like a TOTDS laugh in the background there?

[Jono]

Betfair have Joe at 19/1 of having Christmas Number 1.

[Lee.]

i lost bit of respect for joe after something i heard yesterday about him calling the song rubbish slagging of the band and throwing a dart at a pic of the lead singer from rage
