Tracy Morter has exclusively told Xfm that donations to Shelter far outweighed the aim of toppling Joe McElderry for the Christmas Number One spot.

Tracy Morter, Xfm listener and Rage mastermind, has excluxively told Xfm that the donations to Shelter, which were a key part of the Rage Against The Machine Christmas Number One campaign, almost outweighed the aim of reaching the festive top spot.

“Suddenly, this was really helping people and we were still getting the message out there that we were bored by the chart”.
