The thing is, most people who want Killing in the name of to be number 1 this Christmas will probably already own it and see no reason to buy a second copy as they bought the album or the single at some point over the past 17 years.

Whereas the X-Factor Karaoke tripe is something that no one owns yet, thus giving it a heavy advantage. Seriously, Journey - Don't stop believing, could they have picked any more of a karaoke song for these people?

Anyway, in the support of good music I think I will buy Killing in the name of, or maybe buy it as a present for someone.

Hey! I love that song! 

To be fair the guy who is likely to win the X-Factor is actually a very good singer (better than most in the charts currently anyway), the rest of them are very much meh. Of course I would never compare any of them to musical greats, such as RATM, and I would personally never buy their music as it's not what I like listening too but some of them are better singers than they get credit for.
