X Factor star trails in charts

X FACTOR winner Joe McElderry faces his own Climb after sales figures yesterday showed that he is trailing in the battle for the Christmas number one.

The teenager is running behind Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In The Name, which is being championed by an anti-X Factor internet campaign.

However, when a CD version of McElderry’s track The Climb is released today it is thought he will overturn the lead.
