Who do you want to be Christmas No. 1 2009 ???
Bookmaker William Hill has suspended betting on the UK's Christmas number one after a flurry of bets made the betting "unviable".
Rage Against The Machine widened the gap over X Factor winner Joe McElderry in the battle for the top spot, building up a lead of more than 60,000 sales by Wednesday.
A William Hill spokesman said 98% of the bets were for the US rock band - and the firm had to keep adjusting the prices until it became the favourite.
Bets of up to £1,000 were being placed for the expletive-littered song and the company would lose a six-figure song if it tops Sunday's chart.

YAY GEORGE FOR XMAS NUMBER 1
LOOOOOOOOL
Quite a few people arent keen on it. But Ive had a year to get used to it cos I downloaded it off his website last xmas day, he put it on there as a free download/xmas pressie to his fans & Im so happy he decided to release it. I think its beautiful & a very deserving xmas number 1, just like Last Xmas was 25 years ago xx

l absolutely HATE that song by Raging against the machine(or whatever it is) and dont like it when X Factor are also likely to be xmas number one-l just someone would bring out a decent chrsistmas song like they did back in the 80's!

Karen - I had George's song as my ringtone last xmas, took me ages to answer my phone lol
I didnt want rage against the machine or the x factor song to be number 1, I think it is becoming such a farce now. Bring back the good old days where groups/singers released proper xmas songs.
Oh well its too late now, that rage against the machine IS number one, Im not impressed. It is just a dig at simon cowell & I think its a bit unfair on that Joe who won xfactor cos he's just a kid & didnt deserve that.
& also Im furious that George's song didnt even make it into the top 3, its number 35!!!!!!!!!!

there wasnt much promotion with his song, if you hadnt told me about it when we were chatting about the race between robbie and george i wouldnt have known till he sung it on xfactor.
I think Joe or robbie should have been no. 1.... if people dont like xfactor and the winner releasing the song then they shouldnt vote throughour the series

i've really given up listening to the charts over the past year or so as it just doesnt seem as relevant anymore and a lot of it is down to the lack of variety on the main radio stations who just play the same old songs over and over, to brainwash people into liking them!! Just what normally happens with XFactor lol all those people watching are being controlled by mr cowell!!!
