Christmas Number 1 2009 Announced - Rage Against The Machine. Scott Mills Radio 1

[secretagentYTer]

what happened, I'm confused?

[iloveskins96]

NIRVANA XMAS NO.1 2011!!!

[footballmanager1980]

What a good feeling it was when he announced Joe as number 2...I never usually listen to the charts much, but I even I tuned in for this one...

The facebook page went crazy after the announcment! even almost 2 years later...it still brings a smile to my face!

Cowell's face must have been a picture when he found out they had lost...

[welinmeister]

2.10 - 2.15 longest five seconds of my life.

[hVL94]

This year nirvana for number 1 ;)

[SuperChuck1997]

i bet that one dislike was joe xD

[OldSchoolSkaters1]

Well I can sing along to rage :D

[thedoctor2199]

For all the overused record companys out there..Stick your middle fingers in the air...FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!

[BlackAssassinBlade]

Rage Against I won't do what you tell me The Machine?

Rage Antiestablishment The Machine?

Did he just make these up or have I just not heard of them? Plus "You can't even sing along to Rage" erm... yes you can "You can sing along to Joe's song" you mean the Miley Cyrus song that Miley didn't write that Joe was allowed to sing because he was on tv for a few hours? Hardly Joe's song is it?

[LostPrincess1113]

Iv never even heard rage but GO RAGE!!!!!!!!! yeaaaahhhh!!!!! Fuck off joe

[AndyPVale]

What I like is that The Climb is such a good song to hear at a "victory" moment.

[richindex96]

RATM RRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLEEEE­EEESSSS

[TheLonesomeJack]

haha i remember this live :') best day ever

[animefan809]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck xfactor

[LukeSleaa]

Being apart of history was awesome!

[caffman]

I shouted the announcement to all my workmates on the M6Toll and everyone cheered. Shame about this year!

[THEJOSHISLOL]

FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME.

[0ThankYou0]

This was the most amazing moment of my life. I literally screamed with joy when he announced this.

[will320]

Joe McElderry is a little faggot who loves it up the arse

[SlaughterHotel]

Forever Rage Against The Machine.

[StereoPurple]

yessss rage rule, down with joe!!!!  lol

[AndyPVale]

The total fund-raising amount is now over £100,000!

[dude157]

My Birthday is 20th Dec, and this was the best Birthday / xmas present ive ever had ! Rage are so freaking awesome, and i can't bare to watch xfactor. I was a part of the facebook group in its early stages when the numbers were small, it was amazing to see it grow. I don't think it will be matched this year, but hey, Jon and Tracy last year showed anything is possible, and raised alot of money for charity in the process, Plus i got a free gig to go to !

[mackamanny]

Joe doesnt and wont ever even write his own music, how has he worked hard for it

[UKMarines]

shame on you simon 4 thinking every 1 who wins the x factor gets number 1!!!!!!!!!!!

GO RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nogli]

When I listened to this live, the suspense was killing me. I was chuffed to bits. And 2:45 ... you can't sing along to RATM? Well, actually maybe not. But you can certainly shout along, and love it.

[Agent28Rock]

I'm 30, and I grew up during the years RATM were making their music. This is BY FAR my favorite band EVER! Tom Morello is this generations Jimmy Hendrix. He's making sounds with the guitar that most can't imagine trying to attempt.

I've seen them live 3 times, and they've kicked (...) every time!!

[sheep43va]

haha simon cowell just got Fd up the A !!

[howya45]

who the fuck is joe mcelderry

[25xoco25]

the people has spoken!!! fuck you simon...

[TOM71292]

sweet child o mine next year

[spinityeah]

Ossim!!! I'm glad so many peepz came together to make the xmas number one a bit more exciting - was proud to buy the single :-)

[procritic09]

Tom Morello said "These people saw something in their world that they didn't like, so they fixed it" well, not exactly that, but something a lot like that. Brilliant.

[BlackKasuari]

The youth of today needs to wake up! Tell the fucking commercial plastic mtv kinda media "FUCK YOU I WON`T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME'

[25xoco25]

hey simon... FUCK YOU, I WON´T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!

[cade102102]

Power to the people

[BlackKasuari]

@cade102102 the people took the power back!

[ultimateblaze23]

thank you the climb is so bloody boring when joe sings it

[Nikopolis1912]

Yeah, RATM wins!!! :D

[messi996]

what ever faggot tryed to get people to buy dat song just so the x factor winner wont b number 1 is either a sad cunt(someone who got turned down) or was someone who is employed by rage against the machine, so to all the fags who think ye ``made a difference`` your a bunch of hippies lol so go stick it to the man or what ever the fuck ye think yere doen ps i think that climbs a shite song while killing in the name of is a good song so cant say i ant been fair bout dis lol

[CorinWright]

@messi996 you think we're a bunch of hippies for buying rage?? you need to study some of the lyrics mate..and then go finger your mum. "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME"

[messi996]

okok i get u think your makeing a difference and all dis but do u think its right that the only reason and it is the only reason dis became number one is because some fanny didnt like simion cowel, the only reason dis is number one is bcause he is one of the most hate people in englan(i think hes fucken class by the way the only reason i watch the auditions) + i no my spells bad so if u try to take me apart on dat it proves your a fag:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDD

[CorinWright]

@messi996 no, proving i was a fag would involve walking in on me having sex with a man... dissing yo spellin is no dat proof mate. and i really dont think simon cowel is one the most hated people in england. get wat a fecken min yeee??

[messi996]

ok ok ok i didnt mean for u to take it so bad lol try to have a bi on fun its just what i think:) mayb im wrong(probly not) and mayb im right never no just my opion

[beechey145]

@messi996 Before you come back and make another comment, learn to spell.

[ScumGoat]

@messi996 haa. faggot.

[messi996]

lol i dont give a shit dat was ages ago

[garlandfornow]

@CorinWright rage rock on, slipknot rock on slayer rock on

[RedStripeDK]

Go fucking slaughter yourself dumbass.

[dudeofwar5]

@messi996 the whole campaign was started by a man and his wife on facebook because they were tired of x-factor christmas number ones? and im sure both of them had jobs and neither were employed. so please have a real argument before posting on here.

[YoungFlMusician]

You're a dumbass.

[agnieszkaaga]

"The Goliath that is rage is now a target for the plucky young joe"

Hasn't somebody got that the wrong way round?!?

For fucks sake!!!

Subtle propaganda from the BBC propaganda machine..

Reversing the David and Goliath analogy is something that people wouldn't outwardly notice. But inwardly they do! This is how mind control operates everyday. Especially in the tabloids. This is why we are in such deep shit.

Or havn't you noticed YET!! Google media mind control. I bet you find something interestin

[SexyEnglishGirl]

This is such an awesome tune, I'm glad it got the number one spot :D

[procritic09]

"We would like to congratulate joe and simon for having the number 2 single on the Christmas charts". hahahahaha. all polite. the xfactor winner worked so hard for this? He was on a reality show where he sang 5 easy covers of terrible songs, Rage worked a lot harder. 18 years ago. people won't even remember the xfactor cover 2 years from now.

[robbieryan85]

this is brilliant, definately a music revolution!!! d perfect song to rival xfactor crap

[SoapfaceKillah]

YEAAHH THATS RAW!!! ahaha....Rage will always be awesome

[2009jimmy2009]

RATM WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SimonB198207]

excellent! i now know there is more than just a spark, but a raging fire of disillusionment about the direction mainstream music in this country over the last decade - so potent that it blitzed that smug, shiny, high waistbanded git Cowell. it would've been nice to have a christmassy song chossen to rival Joe wassisname, but that might not've got as far

[ODSTJUNKY]

woooooooooooooow rage pwns

[FreakinSweet86]

"You can't sing along to rage blah blah" It's about who sold the most records you blistering idiot that's the whole point of the chart.

You could be as thick as pig shit, sing like a donkey having an enema and if you sell more records you get to number one.

Of course having lots of talent helps in the long run.

[ChineseHypocracy]

Rage Has Tallent and you can sing along 2 this song you can also sing along to Joe mceldrys song But you'll soud just as much of a fag as he does if not more so lmao

[BlackXhorneT]

hahahahaha faggit!

[2404PaulW]

How the hell did Joe work so hard for this. He's a twat and it's a music revolution that RATM won!

[dontlickmynose]

when I listened to this live I got so annoyed that they were stalling for time

[basildonbadger]

I LOVE IT! Amazing news, the people have spoken.

[reliever1]

This is the one of the most Epic things in History.

[sk8insmylyf]

britain is home of rebellious music and its good to see that we have got that all back

[sk8insmylyf]

good for once some diffrent music will be heard there is more good music in the world hense rage against the machine XD

[Hollyberry95]

Noooooo! I reaaaliiie loooooove Joe!!! =(

This has broken the tradition for the X Factor number 1's! :( I am saad. =(

Joe should have won thiss, but we all know that he can sing and the rage against the machine cannot that well. Joe is gonna have a huge carrer anyway so no worries! :) XXXX

[nath147]

it about time the charts has turned into good music instead of whats new. we want to see more different songs from different ages. long live Queen!

[Chuggy182]

music is ALOT more than how well an artist can sing

[IReallyLoveChips]

@Hollyberry95 shut the fuck up.

[22penners22]

some may like it some hate it but this isnt about that this is about rebellion you fools all you xfactor arseholes can suck my balls!

[01Gunner]

what a crap song. all you have done is voted for a bigger pile of sh*te than the x-factor song.

[mrface19]

I vote that you are a big pile of shite.

[jackoboy425]

@01Gunner the whole point of the campiagn was to fight the system the whole point of the band was TO FIGHT THE SYSTEM and i am glad that they have done it once again

[ThatUkGuy]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Radio Gold number 2 of the week, after Rage's live performance.

[eleventhsun]

Awesome!!! Fucking huge props to you Brits. Even if its only a song, you guys kicked the mainstream bullshit world right in the ass. The people have spoken. Good shit!

[stuckupcow90]

It would have been interesting if people had filmed themselves listening to it and then posting it on youtube so we can see their reaction. :P
