IMO, the ending is what makes the song. The closing guitar solo is so good. like a bunch of kids took over that don't know how to play no.

this song is definitely the "Cecilia & The Satellite" of 2016 Eh, I think "Cecilia" took even longer to climb into the Top 5, and I can't see this sticking around THAT long. But I digress.

Great song that I'm happy to see doing so well. However the fact that this stalled at #14 for so long and is suddenly shooting up the charts I know is partly due to the charts clearing up a bit, but it this also payola caused? This looks a suspicious amount like it, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

That; or the fact that most songs in Alt top 10 sucked or are super old and someone decided it was time for a really good song to get some top 10 action

Less than 100 spins away from #1, and the top two are both facing a negative bullet of -100+. Get ready to say hello to your new #1 overlords.

Get ready to say hello to your new #1 overlords. That's a song we can all get behind on. I can see it happening on mediabase, but I'll be super pissed is ALT Billboard somehow finds a way to keep it stranded at #3-2 untill that "Spirits" songs overpases it.

Aww I kinda wanted to see it break Out of My League's record. It's run is a bit less impressive then OoML's, considering that this was pretty payola-y, but this is a #1 I can get behind. First alt #1 I've liked since First, (haha) really.

Wow, never thought this would end up potentially going to #1, seemed like it would get stuck in #11-15 limbo just a few months ago. I've kinda moved on from this for a good few months now but good for them.

Huh, wow. This really is going to #1 - it's now only 48 spins behind "Adventure of a Lifetime", and this is still gaining. Good for them though, I'm still digging this quite a bit.
Also, I'll take back the last comment I made - this may very well stick around as long as "Cecilia". But I'm not complaining.

I got into this song super late so this is great. Never expected it to go number one but damn it deserves it

Justice for "Olympic Airways." Justice for "Spanish Sahara." Justice for "Miami." Justice for "My Number."
May their new found prominence launch "Give It All" and "Birch Tree" next!

"My Number" was a big hit on my chart, but this wasn't. Really regretting that decision.

It's not even hated that much, it's just the least liked and the least known.

Don't mind this at #1, but don't like that it's blocking Trip Switch, which has higher sales and higher callout
BTW just checked and this (Foals) is #1 in callout on RTM.com

Very good news for the band. This will definitely mean a second single. Now ALT Billboard better get with the program as well.
