So joe mcdonalds or whoever, won x-factor in the uk and like every year its expected that the xmas number 1 will be the X-factor winner...
until someone had the bright idea of trying to get another artist to number 1,
Like: Rage against the machine - Killing in the name, there is a facebook group with about 70k members about this with all the info and links too the correct stores to buy from so it counts in the uk chart, and also info about way buy multiple copies is bad.
(Its also seems that if your not in the UK but felt like buying it, you need a UK proxy and a UK billing address, for it to count.)
Here the info from the group page:

LET'S GET RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE TO THE CHRISTMAS NO.1 SPOT THEN!
Q: So how do we do this then?
A: Take your pick(s) of the digital providers below. It should take you to the page where you can purchase your copy of KILLING IN THE NAME. in most cases it's track#2 but check before you click!
Q: Why have you used shortened links?
A: It gives us a ROUGH idea of how we are doing on sales. I can get a click count this way
Q: But there's other websites now offering RAGE for Xmas links?
A: Yes, but these links right here were created by the creators of the whole campaign themselves. They are not 'affiliate' links so therefore nobody gets any sort of 'commision'. You don't need to go anywhere else.
Q: When do i buy 'Killing In The Name'?
A: NOW until Saturday 19th December at 23:59pm
Q: Can I buy loads of downloads?
A: In a nutshell no. If the Chart company see unusual selling patterns they can ignore the bulk purchases or worse still remove the track completely. As admin I cannot be seen to encourage this
** DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT 10 TIMES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT...IT'LL JUST GET ANNULLED FROM THE CHART **
