I wonder how many of the purchases were "revenge" - it seems to be that most years there is an aggressive social media campaign for anyone BUT the latest X-factor star. I know in 2011 there was definitely a big push for anything but the JLS/One-direction single to be #1

I remember that good Christmas where Rage Against The Machine became no1 in 2009. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/dec/20/rage-against-mac... That was a good Christmas.

It's been happening for the last 4 or 5 years but I think it's only been really successful once with Rage Against The Machine. It was one of the first things I thought of when he mentioned Christmas number 1 but I think the power behind those campaigns has really diminished in recent years.
