So here is the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the finale of countdown of the decade, this weekend we’ve discovered that the final Number One single of the decade is Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing in the name of” a song which has exampled a public uprising of sorts against the world of reality TV seen to be led by Simon Cowell.
The song, which is the first ever download only Christmas Number One, beat Joe McElderry’s cover of Miley Cyrus’ The Climb, marking the first time in five years that the Christmas Number One has not come from an X Factor artist.
Last week, with part one of the countdown, we remembered quite how much this world has changed, if you’re not sure that the world is all that different, let me put this question to you…
Imagine the date is Monday, 20th December 1999 and I say to you that in the next ten years; terrorists will attack London and New York, England will win the rugby world cup, 3D cinema will be cool again and the Christmas Number One will be download only. Do you believe me? Or do you think that all I’m missing from my predictions are flying cars and alien contact?
So to one uprising from another, join us as we look at the final five years of the decade and let us know what your best/ worst memories of the Noughties are.
