Sunday, 20th December 2009. The past thirteen days have been packed with news story’s, FaceBook groups, YouTube videos, interviews about the phenomenal chart battle between the classic ‘Rage Against the Machine’ track ‘Killing In The Name Of’ and ‘Climb’ the latest single from ‘Joe McElderry’ this years Xfactor Winner.
This all came about by two members of the public creating an online campaign on FaceBook aiming to pull the RATM classic to number one beating the xfactor single that dominates our Christmas charts since 2005.
This Sunday (20th December) brought the UK top 40 Christmas chart, RATM were crowned Christmas Number 1 2009. This proves that when people want to prove a point or achieve something on a huge scale it can be done. There is still a community and it is still strong, so when we think of our soldiers fighting (for unjustified reasons) in Afghanistan this Christmas and all the killings in Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq and many other places across the globe. Why cant the public unite just like they have on this occasion and do something about it.
If we can do it for the charts to knock xfactor off the top spot at christmas, why cant it be done for more pressing matters?
Think about it.
