In 2009, Rage Against the Machine's song "Killing in the Name" was the Christmas number one in the UK. This was due to a Facebook campaign to prevent the annual winner of the reality show "The X Factor" from achieving the top spot. The campaign succeeded and "Killing in the Name" became the first song with explicit lyrics to reach the Christmas number one in the UK. The band donated the profits from the single to the nonprofit organization Shelter.
