winner's cover of Miley Cyrus' vomit-inducing 'The Climb', which goes on sale digitally immediately after tonight's final and physically tomorrow.
Tracy Morter, who started the campaign with her husband Jon, told Gigwise: “If we pull this off it may wipe they slate clean. I'd love to see in future all artists - especially those starting out - have a fair chance of getting a festive chart topper. There's room for all musical genres in the chart.”
At the time of writing this, the Facebook group has an impressive 692,000 members.
Bookmakers have now stopped taking bets on the Christmas no.1 with William Hill listing 'Killing In The Name' at 10/3 second favourites behind the X Factor at 1/5.
As some proceeds of the X Factor song are going to charity, those pledging their support to the RATM campaign can donate to Shelter - a charity helping the homeless - HERE
do not buy the track for less than 40p or it will not count in the charts.
Amazon is one of the best places to buy it.
