Joe McElderry Favourite To Become Christmas Number One
Joe McElderry
Joe McElderry is Ladbrokes bookies' favourite to become the Christmas Number One single in the UK, ahead of Rage Against The Machine.
New odds put The X Factor winner's 'The Climb' in the front running at 2/7, with Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' at 9/4.
Earlier frontman Zach De La Rocha and the band played the song - including the swear-filled chorus - live on UK radio and slammed The X Factor and Simon Cowell.
Simon Cowell has slammed the campaign, calling it "stupid", "cynical" and "very Scrooge".

You just swallow down the X factor's bile like its some sort of Christmas pudding.
Wrap your lips around some proper music WRITTEN and performed with emotion. The X factor is nothing more than a glorified karaoke which is strategically broadcast at this time of year to monopolise the Christmas number one slot.
Give it a year, even six months and you won't even rememeber who Joe McElderry is. Rage however, will be a band that will continue to be recognised and loved for decades to come.
And as far as a US number one for the UK... *Ahem* Miley Cyrus! Don't even get me started.
Get a grip. Get some rage.
Lets make Christmas No. 1 interesting again!
The song was originally sung by Miley Cyrus, and last I checked she's an American.
Buy RAGE because they work hard, write their own songs, play music with real emotion that actually MEANS something and because it's the better song!
I don't want to be listening to the same crappy cover songs sung by people who don't give a damn about anything but "being famous" for the rest of my life.
MAKE A STAND!
