After all that business with the Christmas Number One chart battle, it looks like Joe McElderry could be getting his yuletide number one after all, according to midweek sales figures. The X Factor winner, who was held at Number Two by Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name', is currently outselling his rivals by two to one.
'The Climb' has shifted 80,000 copies over the past two days, while 'Killing In The Name' has sold 40,000.
McElderry's success has been driven by CD sales of 'The Climb', which stand at 53,000 so far this week.
X Factor judge Louis Walsh recently claimed that the track, which sold 450,000 copies last week, could pass the million mark in the New Year.
