Rage Against the Machine are still ahead of Joe McElderry in the chart battle for the Christmas number one single a day after the X Factor winner's song hit the shelves. McElderry's debut single The Climb went on physical release yesterday and initial first day sales figures suggest he is still behind his unlikely chart rivals. However, the Official Chart Company said the "gap had closed considerably" since Wednesday morning, when McElderry trailed behind Rage Against the Machine by approximately 60,000 sales.
