Rage Against The Machine are estimated to have sold 100,000 copies of 'Killing In The Name' yesterday (December 19), bolstering their chances of becoming Christmas number one.
7Digital chief Ben Drury wrote on Twitter: "Judging by our sales and our market share, RATM could have sold 100,000 copies yesterday alone! Power to the people.
"I reckon RATM has done it but need to wait until 6.30pm-ish to find out."
Despite the huge sales figures yesterday, X Factor winner Joe McElderry is likely to have shifted a colossal number of physical CDs yesterday on the busiest shopping day of the year.
Gigwise will unveil the the Christmas number one at 7pm sharp tonight.
